Vince, Jason, and The Veal...Live!

Chet the intern answered the phone the other day, and
accepted an offer on my behalf from my buddy Mark,
who had come up with Nets tickets. Mark didn't have
to ask me, but he'd run out of options, and I'm more
than happy to be the guy who gets to go when others
are locked into unbreakable commitments. Okay, it was
the Nets, who aren't having the best season but are
still in the hunt. And true, it was against the Jazz,
who are in a free fall without Carlos Boozer. But the
seats? Sweet, as you can see from the grainy pix.
(Actually, maybe you can't see...but they
were
great seats.) And NJ won, which makes the trek to the
Swamp easier. Not that I
drove, mind you. And speaking of the swamp, included
with the tickets was VIP Parking, so we didn't have
to hoof it from Section ZZ, Row W, Slot 691.
Trust me... the seats were really, really good.
I'd never seen Vince Carter live. When he's cooking,
you can't stop him. He made Brian Scalabrine look
like Scottie Pippen a couple of times. And Jason Kidd
was on the verge of a triple-double when he sat down,
Actually, both he and Carter rode the bench for the
last quarter, leaving clean up to the likes of Zoran
Planinic, who had a nice game, and Cliff Robinson,
who seemed lost.
Thanks Mark!
