Helix rock city

the pre-occupying thought when attending a Rock game this year is, what would it be like here with the nhl? with over 18000 in attendance last night, one wonders that, but certain cues about the crowd suggest that it would still be successful. one thing is ticket price, and though mike and I were comped by the lovely (and israel-visiting) tomer (hey! you gots a mention!), the platinum seats were only marked as being 45 bucks. try that for a leaf game.

this made 2 for 2 in my free attendance of acc events, and I can only hope that trend continues for a while (actually it's already been defeated with the acquisition of tickets for events Sept 14 & 17, and yes I got GA floor!)

but there are some issues with the Rock, (though apparently not a factor to the masses present):

1) they place music during game play
2) they were giving away a dirty quad atv!
3) helix is their theme song (surprise!)

turning off the music tells the audience to PAY ATTENTION! since that never happened, mike and I sat and drank and discussed whatever band was played at the moment. mike likes the new jet single for one, but I'm not so sure. he also has a BILLY SQUIER button! awesome!

post-game (I think they won) we ended inadvertently up at the 'official post game HQ' Joe Badali's only as a private event was happening downstairs. alas, some billiards and pink belts couldn't convince us to stay, so a surprisingly quiet underground garage closed the night off. much less public urination witnessed compared to the night before.
