You know that I don't usually post pictures. Here is an exception: Green Bay Packers' Fans at Lambeau Field before a game. I went to the game by myself. Driving to the game from Hayward, I started to think how I would make this trip different than if someone went with me. By the time I got there I had a plan. I would scout out a group of young good-looking guys. Then I would look for someone close by who would be willing to take a picture. After this was set up in my mind, I would go to the single person and ask if they would take my picture. "Of course!" After handing my camera to her/him, I would position myself among the guys and say, "these are my new best friends, take our picture." I spent about 2 hours before the game in the air conditioned Atrium (90 degrees outside) having fun. Everyone was in a good mood - no one had been overserved yet. I ended up talking to many people that this was my first game. I had so much fun. Now to explain what I was wearing...I only have a Packers sweatshirt so I wasn't wearing that. On the way I stopped at a JoAnn Fabrics store in Wausau and bought 1/8 of a yard of Packer fabric and tied it in a BIG bow around a generic baseball cap I was wearing. Got a lot of smiles. People couldn't laugh - I mean, they were wearing cheeseheads - how could they poke fun? Here are a few of the pics....of me and complete strangers but we're all in the Packer Fan Family.
Yes, there are cheesehead cowboy hats.
Ya, hey dere!
The girlfriend of the guy took this picture. I had to wait in line to take a picture of the green Mohawk kid.
This group was stunned.
His friend also in full gear took the picture.
He couldn't believe that this was my first game.

What a great experience (and photos!) and you definately made the most of your situation (being by yourself) and were ALOT braver than most of the population of the world! Now next time you have to go as a lonely fan of THE OTHER TEAM and see what happens!!;)
