Brown Bagging it in NatsTown!

Nationals Enquirer staff took in last night's Nationals-Marlins game at Nationals Park, the first ever Nationals Enquirer Brown Bag Night. Admittedly, we didn't have high hopes going in, especially considering the Nats' 0-9 record against the Marlins this season prior to the miracle 8th inning comeback win. And we were disappointed to arrive at the park by 6:40, but too late to pick up a free "You know You're a Nats fan if..." T-Shirt.

But all in all, although we were denied entry into the Lexus President's Club: nobody got arrested, the Nationals won, and a good time had by all.

A few photos of the festivities follow. Note that Stan Kasten asked us not to post the pictures of him in a brown bag drinking beer with us up in Sec. 419.

[Sec 314]

The fact that your staff used a Whole Foods Bag just plays into the stereotype of DC residents as a bunch of nutty crunchy elitists with no real understanding or appreciation of baseball. A better choice would be an old Food Lion or Price Shopper bag (if they actually have paper bags at either one anymore).

@Sec 314. Ah, I forgot to mention our sponsors! It was Nationals Enquirer Brown Bag Night, *Sponsored by Whole Foods*. Hey, they paid big bucks for us to use their bags!

You know that if you don't don the bag again tonight it will be your fault if/when the Nats lose.

You know, when you tweeted you were in sec 107, I tried to get a picture! But when I checked the photo later, I couldn't spot any brown bagged heads :(

Hilarious!

@Nate: we can't make the game tonight, but staff members have been told to wear their bags while watching at home. Hopefully that does the trick.

@misschatter: probably just bad timing...it got damn hot under those bags; kept taking 'em off. Also, much easier to drink our fruity microbrews and stuff our faces with food sans bag.
