    Target has a TON of red shirts. It don't have to say Rox on it! Nice, but not necessary.

    From the times I went, we just had to look for a spot, meaning free...but if you're lazy, then valet it usually is...I'm too cheap for that though...

    That's the only problem with those nice places in the heart of any big city. Parking. :(

    Well I'm hoping to be able to come down there tonight. Depends how when I get outta here and how tired I am.

    It was OK. Game was incredibly boring.

    I ended up with a parking ticket though. I parked in front of a fire hydrant, which was BS because I didn't even see the damn thing. It was white and the curb wasn't marked as a fire lane. Plus, I drove up with the hydrant facing the passenger side and I got out of my car and walked around the back side which was in the complete opposite direction of the hydrant itself. I'm going to go tomorrow and protest. I'll let you know how it turns out. Hopefully I have a valid argument. If not, I don't care, it's only 100 bucks and goes to city of Dallas, my favorite city :cool:

    I parked on the back side & had no problems with tickets or whatever.

    It was cool having other fans around.

    The refs sucked, it was a "make up" game to Sloan. Hopefully now he'll stop whining about not shooting freebies.

    Dunno how we're gonna be able to fix our shooting woes though. Alas, we've shot too well throughout the season to expect this to be the norm.

    I parked behind Avanit, and didn't have any problems, thankfully. Although, while walking to the bar, a guy stopped me and asked if I could take him to meet up with his mechanic since someone slammed into his Benz and it's leaking oil. He said he'd even tip me!! I was like, WTF do I look like, a taxi cab driver?!? Then I told him I was running late to meet up with friends :)

    Redefined needs to update his wardrobe... the only two times green is an appropriate color to wear are the Masters or St. Patty's Day!

    Fun times though (except for that butt-whooping on TV thing).

    No more Christies!

    Here here.

    I'm from Houston & when driving down there, I thought I'd stick out like a turd in a punch bowl. I ain't no dockers & button down type of guy. That was my first time ever "uptown".

    BUT

    Christies was nice, the prices were shockingly low (no drinks, just food & coke @ $17!), and the waitress did a decent job with such a daunting task.

    I had fun, but would be down for other locations for future games. As it stands, I had just planned to watch it at home.

    Also, I still have some fajitas from a restaurant in Houston that I ate before game 1 & game 2. Hmmmm, I didn't eat them before game 3.

    Just got back from City Hall. She denied my protest.

    Since I'm down 100 bucks let me decide on Wizards for Monday. :(

    I might have to wear the same green shirt. Rockets did lose pretty badly. ;)
    But since I'm not doing laundry this weekend, I'll try blue.

    What about SAT? No meet up? (I'm down cuz . . . woman wants me to go to some goofy party I don't wanna. Meeting up would be a good excuse to at least leaving EARLIER!)

    I need to make up for that 100 bucks by not going out. If it was any day but Saturday, I'd do it.

    I'll probably just watch the game at home and eat cereal and a banana.
