Dream Ticket II: On the Move

So how good were those tickets?

Um ... they were really good. Like that close to the action there, really good. Because I took that picture!

Those are not cropped, people. Those are, in fact, stone cold uncropped.

By the time we got around to buying those tickets, which were incidentally Row 3 VIP section behind the Kings bench (oh man), they were another $40 less each, right, and could we say no to that? No, truthfully and in actuality, we could not. On top of that the tickets were even better than I was expecting, and for $129.95 a pop I would be expecting a lot, even going into it knowing I would be able to hear Brad curse swears in person with mine own ears. Like once you fly first class you never want to fly coach again? This is how I must watch basketball from now on, every day. Seriously, I'd even go see the shitty Wolves play every other shitty team in the NBA with these seats. It was FUN. The Kings INEXPLICABLY (or explicably) LOST, but it was still fun.

Could this be a reason why it was fun?

Aw jeez. How many times did I say to Chris, "I can't stop staring at Brad. Is that awful?" and he's like "No! It's GREAT!"

He may have been a little sarcastic. Mike Bibby, on the other hand, knew better.

Yeah, yeah, taking too many pictures, I know. But if it's wrong to get excited about seeing your team (even if not especially when your team is battling for the ultimate dominant supremacy at the butt-ass bottom of the league), my God, I don't want to be right. I could have spent that $259.90 on hard drugs or psychotherapy (or giant sparkly earrings, MIKE BIBBY), I mean, come on!

Anyway, spending way too much money on really good seats to a Professional Sports Event? Totally worth it. Totally. Thank you, Minnesota Legislature, for bringing legalized scalping ticket brokering to our fair state!

Wolves: 1-10
Wolves (in games we've attended): 1-0

Oops, they actually won yesterday. Never mind. 2-10.

Those look like they were awesome seats!

Back when I was young (1975 or so) I remember going to Boston Garden to see the Celtics play the Rockets. We had second row seats under the basket and even Calvin Murphy looked huge!
