Grizzlies

here is a recap of my awesome night with my mom at the grizzlies game. it was the last game of the season, we were facing off against the Hotlanta Falcons. i was taking mad pictures so i could come back and share the experience with all of you.

here is minor local celebrity and former american idol contestant alexis grace. she sang the national anthem and it looks like she is being given the key to the city or something stoopid like that. i asked mom how she would rate her performance and she said B-. 

this is the extra special VIP floor lounge. everything is free can you believe it! i had a mini hamburger, garlic parm french fries, 3 hotwings, and a bud light... all for zero dollars. the girl who asked for my ID when i was getting my beer had the same birthday as me. what a lark.

this is former assistant coach now head coach of the university of memphis josh pastner, minor local celebrity. it appeared that he was the guest of grizzlies general manager chris wallace. he was announced during a break and recieved a standing ovation from the hopeful crowd.

this is what happens when they announce the memphis grizzlies. that is FIRE.... coming off the basketball goals. there is really dramatic music and light flashing and when they say the players names, the whole place goes up in flames.  AMAZING.

this is a good view of our bomb ass seats. on the floor, behind one other row of seats. hot2death2themax. the grizzlies ended up winning making the whole thing all the sweeter.

this is Grizz, the mascot. he is a person in a bear suit... JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GD BEAR.

he does dance tricks and basketball tricks and shoots t shirts into the crowd during breaks. but that doesnt even begin to cover his greatest trick, overcoming cancer. i mean it.

right here in the row directly in front of me were minor local celebrities and food network stars, Pat and Gina Neely. she smelled like sweet flowers, and he loved to jump up and cheer when a basket was made. so cute and very enthusiastic. if you havn't watched their show, its really great.

one of the best parts of going to a game or event at the forum is pouring out of the beautiful arena and finding yourself on the crunkest street in the world, Beale Street.

this night, we were blessed to witness bikes on beale, and the street was crawling with biker dudes and dudettes and there were motorcycles of all shapes and sizes all over the place.

thanks for the tickets mom!
