I went to two nights of Dead and Co at the Sphere this weekend. It was amazing. The place is huge, the screen creates the impression of 3 dimensions, not just a large tv screen. Sat in the 300’s section right in the center on Friday night and that spot is about perfect. Last night we grabbed some upper level stub hub tix and went again and it was still fantastic.

We spoke to a dude who worked for the production crew and he said they plan to build more in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, but expect to be able to build more and more.

It’s transformative. Any kind of event would be amazing in that venue. Even sports. It’s so rough ridin' immersive. I’m convinced that someday every major city will have one and it will be the standard for how people experience live events.

5 pods in and this team still on pace to win ~100 games. Whoa.

It's incredible given last year. Like part of me still is waiting for the bottom to fall out, but like, they have proven themselves now over 47 games, it's not a small sample size at all.

I am though very curious once this A's series is done what will happen between now and then the next A's series in a month, as the next opponents are all basically .500 or better baseball teams (Padres only one below .500 by a game). It's Detroit, @Minny, SD, @Cleveland, Seattle, Yankees, @Dodgers. If they end up over 500 over that entire span I can't see how they won't be in the playoffs as most of those teams are playoffs contenders themselves.
