It was cold. It was miserable. It was raining.
When NC State was rolling through our winning football streak, “Charleston”, myself and our friends Ryan and Heather grabbed up some tickets to the ACC Championship game here in Charlotte in hopes of cheering the Wolfpack to victory.
Well….bum bum bum…. The Wolfpack did not make it to the ACC Championship game thanks to a loss to Maryland in their last game of the season. Therefore, we had four tickets to a game none of us truly cared about.
Oh what to do??
Well you suck it up, tailgate and have a fabulous time at the final football game of the season with friends!
We had full intentions of throwing an all out blow-out tailgate until…the second bomb hit. It was freezing rain all day leading up to kick off. Miserable weather.
Therefore, it paid off to live in Uptown and only four blocks from the Bank of America stadium. We pulled the coolers up to my fourth floor balcony, kicked our feet up on the coffee table, turned on several other football games and threw our own tailgate in the living room ALL DAY LONG. We ate bojangles and chips and dip and heather and I pulled out all of our favorite tailgate games – painting our finger nails! When could you ever do that at a normal tailgate?!
Long story short. We ended up going to the game and were miserable the entire time. I can’t explain how cold and damp it was, and the worst part, I honestly couldn’t give a crap who won.
We did hold a little photo-op out on the balcony before walking to the game. We had to come outside to take pictures because with all our cold weather gear on we were sweating to death inside….

I knew as soon as Heather pulled out a bottle of finger nail polish from her purse this was going to be the best "tailgate" ever!
FA-REEEEEZING....
