Going to the Celts/Lakers game tonight and staying in the city. Here's what I'm hoping to have happen:
#1) Ray Allen breaks the 3 point record (and then has awkward hug with Reggie Miller who will be there broadcasting for TNT)
#2) I don't get raped by Kobe (or by any other male person or animal)
#3) I don't get hospitalized due to excessive drinking and smoking of wacky stuff
#4) I don't get arrested due to excessive drinking and smoking of wacky stuff
#5) I stop seeing that picture of GM in his "odd" coaching uniform everytime I close my eyes
#6) I don't wake up with any kind of my bodily fluids on me
#7) I survive the night and enjoy going into work late tomorrow with a ridiculous hangover

Just booked my flight to Chicago for March Madness. My favorite trip of the year. Just four guys watching games in bars for four days.

I have no concerns in regards to your costume. However, I'd like to know how much "coaching" is going on here? On the right side of the picture, there is a child laying down on the floor, possibly injured or passed out and next to him another "player" (#7 in your program) is giving a bear hug to a teammate. So many questions.

That's pretty good service for such a large company. But how exactly is it going to fix the problem?
no, retyped it. It was a hand signed letterI think it would be a pretty tall order to expect them to fix every complaint right away. I'd bet that they categories all of the complaints and attack the most popular ones first. I now know to call the store directly and not to order onlineThat's pretty good service for such a large company. But how exactly is it going to fix the problem?
Hopefully they'll get to it one day.

I thought you were part of the cool club.Non cool club kids waiting to hear about marching band stuff
I've been working 24/7 since then ( ) so my postings are rare right now.One of the many disasters in the 2-3 days leading up to the party was that the marching band found out they couldn't use their school's instruments. Not a big deal for, say, a tuba player who probably has his own, but most people don't have a marching band drum kit. We ended up instead borrowing regular drum kits from a couple of friends. But that meant the drummer was stationary, meaning it wasn't a good idea for the rest of the band to wander too far off either. So all the activity took place on one floor of the house rather than their marching up and down the stairs. :(Also they couldn't use the name of their marching band (University of Memphis "Mighty Sound of the South") or they would get in trouble, nor could they wear their uniforms. So they were outfitted in U. Memphis gear but not the good stuff.All that is the negative, but overwhelmingly it was positive. Despite the fact that a bunch of 19-year-olds were hanging out in our house during the first half (they came early to get the lay of the land and plan their attack), no one knew what was coming, and people FLIPPED OUT over it. The band started a little shaky on their version of Eye of the Tiger but picked up steam and even did encores because people were enjoying it so much. And the kids also actually had a fantastic time and kept telling me they wanted me to plan their parties for them. We started the entertainment with pre-game show by our friend Eric whom we flew in from Chicago. He has an odd but very pleasing manner of performing, and people loved it. We also had a squares game where you didn't have to buy in and got really good prizes that we bought. Also did a game where people pulled a name before the game and won Pittsburgh, Memphis, and Green Bay-themed prizes based on whether that person (or D/ST or "field") scored first in each quarter with the very large grand prize going to whoever had the MVP (I only had 15 different possibilities so had to quadruple up). In addition we had a huge supply of terrible towels that were put to good use (the Green Bay stuff didn't arrive and we didn't bother).Mr. krista made a ridiculous meal that had everyone going back three and four times. I know he posted his menu earlier. It might not sound like much but nearly impossible to make all that for 70+ people plus band, all by yourself. He decided to add pork and cheese tamales at the last minute, too. We have a friend who insisted that she wants us to cater her wedding now and a bunch of other offers for jobs. Can't get him through school and opening a restaurant quickly enough.I also had six dozen Packers and Steelers cupcakes from Gigi's cupcakes.We had beer, wine, sangria, margarita and soda/water stations on each floor, as well as a large flat-screen TV on each floor (two with surround sound). We had to buy a ton of extra chairs as well as large garbage and recycling bins. The city of Memphis was left with no ice. Somehow in the midst of all this we ended up at a net gain on beer at the end of the night, and nearly even on wine. GB generous friends who come bearing gifts.Nearly everyone left saying it was the best party they'd ever attended, even the U. Memphis kids. 
And I will never, ever do it again. ETA: I'd wager we were the only Super Bowl party in Tennessee with a euphonium player.

For posting that pic of you and that mega-hot girl. I would hate you too but in the pic she's wearing a Packers jersey. Totally ruins it for me.

my girlfriend just called...coming across town to pick me up.
Apparently there are issues with my '98 Chevy blazer. in her words:
'the steering is REALLY hard now...and the battery light is on. everything is dimmer, too. the headlights, the dash, everything!'
Any ideas on what happened to my truck, AutoGuys?

Alternator isn't recharging, so the truck's running off the slowly dying battery. So no power for the power steering. Belt may have slipped off.ETA: Make sure she stops before the power brakes fail.

Sounds like a great time was had by all. Why wouldn't you do that again? Maybe your load is already lightened due to already having the extra chairs, tv, garbage buckets, etc. And now you know where to get half the other stuff!If the cooking/meal prep was too much invite guests to bring something. How many are googling Euphonium?I thought you were part of the cool club.Non cool club kids waiting to hear about marching band stuff
I use to play that in the high school band.

Sweet mother of God, my body feels like a pile of dog crap that got run over by a truck. My liver feels like Egypt. It is truly a miracle that I'm at work right now. I told everyone I'd be a little late today, but I actually strolled in a little while ago only 3 hours late and I'm quite certain I'll be leaving early. I don't remember alot about last night, I remember the Celts losing and Allen breaking the record, everything else is hazy. I left my gb's place around 8 this morning and he called me while I was driving home to remind me of few highlights from the evening:We met a Canadian couple from Montreal who were in town for the Bruins/Canadiens game the night before and the Celts/Laker game last night. I'm not a big hockey fan, but my gb is and he the canadian guy were arguing about hockey and apparently I kept interrupting their conversation by chanting "USA.. USA.. USA" and screaming "do you believe in miracles??!!?? YES!!!"We took the Canadian couple into a bar with us for drinks after the game. I guess I bought us all a round of shots and declared a peace treaty between Canada and the US. I was quoting Rocky at the end of RockyIV and announced to the bar "if I can change and yous can change... then EVERYONE can change!!!!" And apparently I also kept introducing myself to random people and telling them my name was Axel Foley. The Canadians ditched us and then we smoked some wacky stuff on the walk back to my gb's apartment. We get into the elevator with about 4 other people and I told one them that she looked like Halle Berry (my gb told me this morning that she was hot but did not look like Halle Berry) So during this elevator ride apparently I asked this girl if she ever saw the movie "Monster's Ball" and she said no. I then told her that "Billy Bob Thornton bleeped Halle Berry's brains out in that movie". She then asked that I stop talking to her and there was just awkward silence after that.We get in my buddy's apartment and his girlfriend launched into a crazy screaming fit about how he didn't call her and a laundry list of other things he's done wrong lately. As they yelled at each other I would interject with "USA.. USA" chants which didn't help the situation. To make things even worse, I then tried to run to the bathroom to throw up but I didn't quite make it and left a trail of vomit on my way to the toilet. While I was in the bathroom tossing my cookies (as my gb described it I was throwing up "violently") I began having the loudest and strangest gas. Apparently my gas was so loud and strange that my gb and his lady stopped fighting because they were laughing so hard at all the weird noises coming from the bathroom. I like to think that I have saved their relationship. Overall, I'm glad I'm alive and I'm glad that Kobe didn't rape me. Although, even if he did, I probably wouldn't remember it.
