As D'back promotions go - this one caught our attention. (Especially CPG's attention, though his rigorous travel schedule prevented his attendance). D'backs offered a "tribal cap" to the first 20,000 customers - a fine-looking piece of head-wear. Still - that wasn't really enough - POC's influence is vast, but not vast enough to get hats for all, unless we actually went early and stood in line. Not an attractive prospect in mid-June.
Then the deal was sweetened - POC comes through with discounted tickets for the first-ever "Burgers & Beers" event that same evening - as you might speculate, this features burgers and beers - and a tribal hat! So PJ, NOC, PJr and I scurry down for the (Alison-driven) event - at the restaurant just west of the stadium.

The "burgers" portion of the evening was much better than expected - five respectable local restaurants competing for a trophy based on customer votes - and they did a great job. As for the beers, we approached this Bud-sponsored event with understandable trepidation - but with the recent acquisition of Four Peaks, that aspect also turned out well. PJ was a great sport throughout, and we thriftily rescued her beer-tickets from wastage. Oddly enough, a restaurant that doesn't even include a burger on the menu - The Mission - won.
And we also had a baseball game to attend. A fun evening, to say the least.
