No Brawling at Arco Arena

Shaun and I got tickets to see the Kings play the Timberwolves last night.

We had some pretty sweet seats. They were the most distracting seats though. We sat right behind the sports writers tables. There were about 6 little TV’s RIGHT in front of us. Last night was the night that the Pacers & Pistons got into a brawl and it was ALL over ESPN…the station that the 6 tv’s were all on airing the Kings game. It was hard to watch the game and not want to watch the TV’s too.

My back was out so I had a glass of wine before we left, and a pain killer, and when I got there I spent half my paycheck on a Smirnoff Ice. It was pretty sweet Friday, in our pretty sweet seats. Of course, I might have actually still been in the car as drugged up as I was I wouldn’t have known the difference.

Now to the best part of Arco Arena (Outside of the King Players)
It’s not the mascot, Slamson, who strangely gives me the creeps. It’s not the really pretty Court Dancers that can’t throw a balled up T-Shirt to save their lives. It’s not even the really neat fans I got to sit next to and in front of.
It’s the Garlic Fries.
The whole place smells like Garlic Fries. I didn’t buy any. They might have sucked, but they smelled like heaven. I stopped and took a picture of the Garlic Fries and Shaun thought I had lost my mind. I figured if I couldn’t buy them, I was going to be able to at least look at them. I can also lick the screen when no one is looking.

The Kings won. It turned out to be a really good night.
