Last night Darcy mentioned that the Oilers were playing the Canucks. I suggested we try to get scalped tickets in the second or third period if he really wanted to go. So we made our way to GM Place and saw one guy there selling tickets. The guy started off at $40 each for upper, upper nosebleeds. After humming and hawing and my almost walking away, the guy dropped it to $30 each. Darcy thought that was worth it, so we got the tickets and went in.
It was at the end of the second period, so I surveyed the lower reds to see if there were empty seats. I talked him into going to a row with a few empty seats, but he was a bit uncomfortable. What's the worst that can happen? We have to move? So I took off my coat, got comfortable, and waited for the third period.
Did anyone see the game last night? It wasn't the most exciting game, largely because the Oilers played and the Canucks didn't. It was 3-0 for the Oilers going into the third, so it wasn't like we could be disappointed. But the Oilers scored another goal and we got to cheer and it was pretty darn fun to be there and watch scores of people walk out with 5 minutes left in the third.
I think it's time to check out the UBC T-Birds schedule to see when the University of Alberta Golden Bears are playing. It's guaranteed to be a fast game. And in the winter I kind of miss Edmonton.
Next up for the rest of the week: seriously work on that fricking database that I keep talking about and not working on. Frick.
