We drove through the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
We made it to the Lynchburg Hillcats!
The team is owned by W. Calvin Falwell. He is related to Jerry Falwell.
The promotion was tattoo night! And cheap beer night! A brilliant combination.
Last night was Perdue Chicken, tonight is KFC!
The Lychburg Hillcats (single A for the Pirates) were playing the Kinston Indians (another single A for the Cleveland Indians). Stephanie just happened to be wearing a Kinston Indians t-shirt, which dismayed Southpaw, the Hillcats mascot.
And for the photo, he made sure no one could tell it was an Indians t-shirt. I swear, no one was molested in the taking of this picture!
This is the field.
This is an acknowledgement of where we are. On this date and on this very site, the Battle of Lynchburg was fought in 1864. It was a victory for the Confederacy.
And this is the tattoo parlor, on site for the promotion night.
Some people got some work done that night.
Don't worry, Mom, it's temporary! I was just trying to make Priest and Syxx from The Saints of Pain (a NYC band we'll hear from later) jealous!
They mock the Yankees here! Stephanie likes Lynchburg!
Stephanie found some Indians fans! Stephanie loves Lynchburg!
This is Cory:
This is Scott:
As previously mentioned, this is Jerry Falwell's town.
pittsburgh beat Cleveland, 5-3. A field goal and a safety beating a field goal.
I mean Lynchburg beat Kinston.
But they think it's a football field, too. It says so on the trash can!

Who knew that a buncha guys from Brooklyn would sound so perfect driving in the Blue Ridge Mountains?! They are kind of hillbillies, though. Especially Pat.
Hope your trip is going well! Kinston won both Saturday and Sunday to split the series.
