You may be wondering why the "S" in super is not capitalized... It's because the Sonics are no longer that super. They are at around a 25% winning percentage this year (last in the NBA). This is quite sad, and is probably one of the reasons why the people in Seattle didn't fight to keep the Sonics in Seattle (they are moving to Oklahoma within the next few years).
Anyway, the point of this post is to say that Lacie and me went to our first NBA game together this weekend. We decided to wait an get our tickets in person instead of paying Ticketmaster $15 in service charges for two $10 tickets. The funny thing is that while waiting in line we were given a coupon for two free tickets with up to a $68 per seat value. We ended up sitting in the 20th row when were planning on sitting in the nose bleed section! Lacie was shocked that somehow we never end up paying full price for sporting events and other functions when we go together...maybe it's karma?
Back to the game. The Sonics played really well for the first three quarters of the game and ended up losing, but we had a fabulous time and will most likely attend another game at some point before they leave. The funny thing is that the most entertaining parts of the ball game was probably the cute little kids doing their dance routine, the air filled mock mascot that did a funny dance (picture a 3/4 inflated balloon that looks like the mascot, but is larger and has the delayed reaction of a balloon), and the races for kids (i.e. put on a full size basketball uniform and then run down the court and make a layup).
Bottom line...Great dates can be free!
Oh, and Lacie had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and liked it!

Well of course, who wouldn't like Pho?
