DATE WITH KOBE

Whoo hoo, I am now the proud owner of Lakers-Warriors tickets!!!! April 16th... countdown to my very FIRST time ever seeing Kobe live! A semi-dream come true. As big of a fan I am of him, I have never been able to see him play in person. Which is odd, because I've been a huge Kobe-fan since Day 1. I liked him so much that I named my cutie-patootie of a puppy after him.

So fiasco to purchasing tickets... darn Ticketmaster would not accept on-line purchases last night. So I call Mr. Ticketmaster man this afternoon. After much transferring between departments, they finally connected me to the right person... Ben something or other. Nice guy. Caroline and I, in order to get the much-desired Lakers tickets, had to buy a package of 3 games. By the end of April, I'm sure the two of us will be very familiar with the whole Warriors team, along with the Arena in Oakland. We are now the ticket-holders of Warriors games against the Utah Jazz (down with Malone!!!!), the Los Angeles Clippers (yay Andre Miller, Q and "Magget"!!!!!!) and the World Champion Los Angeles Lakers!!!!! A very nice early birthday present to myself, indeed!!!!!
