Go Mavs!

It's been a crazy week and I haven't had much time for blogging. This week is Caleb's spring break so he went home to Little Rock for a little rest and relaxation. It is not my spring break, next week is midterms so classes have been pretty busy. BUT last weekend, our DC event of the week was to go to a Wizards game.

The Wizards aren't exactly popular here. They are TERRIBLE and last year they had a player bring a gun into the locker room so they've not had very good PR lately. This may sound like a bad thing, BUT bad teams make for CHEAP tickets. Sooooo since the Dallas Mavericks were in town for the weekend, we decided to go!

Now when I say cheap tickets, I do mean cheap tickets. We sat 2 rows from the top of the entire arena, but hey, at least we were in the arena!

Our seats were interesting to say the least. When we first got to the game, the family sitting in the row in front of us were clearly having a family meltdown. I still don't know what they were fighting about, but they were unhappy to say the least. Mama wasn't happy, so nobody was happy. It was sooooo awkward, but at the same time I couldn't help but watch!

The other good thing about the Wizards being lousy is that there were lots of Mavs fans in the building. Unfortunately, those people were not sitting next to Caleb. A woman who was WAY overdressed to be sitting in the rafters sat next to him, hip to hip, knee to knee. She kept knocking into Caleb. AND she thought of herself as a HUGE Wizards fan but clearly knew nothing about basketball. She was loud and obnoxious. Apparently they have a tradition to stand until the Wizards score (which as Caleb said, is stupid, because who knows how long that might take) and she wanted us and the people behind us to stand up. Obviously we didn't want to and the family behind us was completely decked out in Mavs jerseys, so neither did they. She was not happy. By the end of the 3rd she was so hacked off that they left.

Next to ME, was an Asian man who clearly did not speak English. Also, he was narcoleptic. He just kept falling asleep! Weird!!! Who pays money to go to a game and then falls asleep. Those chairs aren't exactly comfortable and its not exactly quiet in there... I still don't understand.

One of the funniest things was that they passed out 3D glasses when we walked in. They kept hyping this awesome opening video that was in 3D. So we put on our glasses and got ready

The video was awful, an embarassment really. First of all it basically was "a day in the life" of a wizard getting ready for the game, it lasted about 30 seconds, AND.... IT WASN'T EVEN IN 3D!!!!! Ridiculous. Oh well, at least we got to wear some awesome 3D glasses.

In the end, the game was alot closer than it should have been. Caleb thinks the Mavs were playing, but not really playing. In the end they decided to play and won! Whoop! AND to complete the night, we walked past my favorite new cupcake place in Chinatown. They have peanut butter cup cupcakes, and let me tell you, it is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth!!! Yum! It was a great Saturday!
