    PARTY!!!

    2 (wins) down, and 2 to go in this first round. In my thinking this next game will be one of the more critical. We take this one, and we'll demoralize (duh) the Jazz and they won't be long for the series.

    So where will we watch? My vote is somewhere up North for us North-ers. And definely somewhere where we can hear the game. To get us started, I'll suggest Legend's Sports bar @ Mopaq & 183. Not as new as cool as some of the other bars, but they bend over backwards every time I've gone in to change channels and give audio. I'll check with them today to make sure they'll be able to accomodate us. As a bonus - they have an authentic Italian grandmother working in the kitchen making a fresh batch of meatballs and homemade gravy every day ;)

    P.S. in case you were wondering about the game 2 MVP, it was the same as in game 1. That's right, Pam was knitting her magic voodoo mojo knitting...stuff all through the game. And it paid off big. Unfortunatly, she has to work on Thurs night and won't be able to knit. Possible options are (a) she knits during her breaks; (b) she sends some knitting with Mike and he knits. In either case, we'll need a large crowd to compensate for the loss ;)

    Didn't make it there on Mon, but have been there in the past. I'll give them a call to see if they can get the game tomorrow.

    Otherwise, I kinda like the idea of Bagpipes (183 & Burnet) as well, but I don't know if they'll give us volume or not.

    This guy is right. Isn't the UT campus beautiful? I'd have to take a bus. Buses are scary.

    No kidding!! I made the trek downtown for the first game. Least some of you guys could do is to experience life outside of campus and head up north for once. The game after that we can all go to Joy or Yellow Rose or something central.

    Haha I'm cool; I was just kidding around. If I drove back to Houston Monday afternoon and back Tuesday morning just for Game 2, I can take a 5 minute bus ride. :)

    I know I like the waitresses! I think I'm good for Bagpipes on Thurs. Any idea if we'll be able to get audio?
