Lady Luck and the US Open

Tickets for the main stadium at the US open: $50
7 Day Metrocard: $27
Hotdog or pretzel outside: $2
Arriving to find out that the day session is running late, so wandering around and 'acquiring' 2 US Open tennis balls, then realising we can get into the 2nd biggest stadium, getting front row seats to see Djokovic thrash Ball and getting said tennis balls signed by our main man Novak, then finding out that even though the day session overran, evening session matches are played to conclusion so we actually got more tennis, watching Sharapova from up in the gods and then the start of the Roddick match before going for a 'wander' and meeting two suited lads who are leaving and give us their $400 dollar front row club box seats from where we see the almighty Roddick serve up close and get free cookies and chocolate cake from the hospitality included in 'our' ticket in a packed stadium atmosphere of americans under floodlights cheering on their hero till about 12.15 at night: PRICELESS!!!!!!!!
