Anyway, our enthusiasm was not vanquished!
Kevin: braving sickness,
Ashley: fighting jet lag, and
Sally: a little bit tired from the holiday hub-bub,
Experienced our very first Laker's game!!!!
I was pleasantly surprised that it was not a huge hassle getting to the parking lot and getting to our seats. I expected it to be pure torture. Since, none of us knew the ropes, we had to ask several people for directions and they were all very nice and helpful.
Our seats were great! All the people in our section were very cool with the one exception of the "one family" that does not understand personal space. But, even they were not that bad.
So, when you go to the Lakers game, besides the game, what you are keen to look at (depending on who you are) are The famous players (Kobe), The Laker Girls, and The Celebrities...
Here are some of those pics...
Now, for the celebrities...Ashley has a great celebrity eye. (maybe a future career as a paparazzi?)
We saw a lot of people that are kind of famous, but they were of the sort where you have to say " you know that one "vampire show" or I know he is famous but I don't know his name..
Here are the 2 that we are sure of... Johnnie Mac and Tom Petty! Not bad for a rainy Sunday night!
All in all, it was a great night. Kev, Ash and I will definitely back!
So, in closing... I would definitely recommend going to a Lakers game if you get the chance. It really is a notch above the other major sports events that I have attended. The whole experience is very LA: there is this aroma of class and wealth and schmoozing and new money and posers and cultures and spirit and pride and community.
LA is a crazy place!! There are cynics, lovers and lots of tourists in this city. But, overall, what surprises me the most - time and time again - is that 99% of the people I encounter are extremely nice, polite and very welcoming.
Thank you Lakers for a great night! We'll get 'em next time!
cheers
