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!

gulp

BOO Tennessee, you suck.

Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen expressed regret at the bill's failure.

"I can't imagine what danger to the fabric of society would exist by having wine in supermarkets," he said. "I'm kind of sorry that option is not there.

get with it TN legislature

NeRd aLeRt!

you KNOW that cameron sinclair and sean griffiths wouldn't have had the balls to to say these things to Zaha's god like face (see left). even if these things are true.

the story is she didn't show up to this event that she was headlining, and sent a lowly representative. shit hit the fan.

sinclair: Inviting Zaha Hadid to talk about ethics in architecture, he said, was like getting Robert Mugabe to discuss human rights. Her practice's architecture, he explained, was the worst sort of top-down, starchitect offering imposed by the powerful on the powerless.

griffiths: Arrogance, he said, was not necessarily a bad thing; the problem with the Hadid projects was their "banality", the fact that they were "bad work".

real housewives recap

After the pillow fight, Kelly was so energized that she decided to go for a run in New York. Her favorite New York thing to do. Run down the middle of the fucking street like a fucking idiot holding up all traffic. Of course that's what Kelly does. Of course it is. It's the only thing. The only way she could possibly be. She's also that bitch who pushes her way onto the subway before anyone's had the chance to get off. I mean, you know, if she took the subway. If there's one line serving all four registers at Duane Reade, she'll get behind one person and say "it's four lines, it's four lines" even if it's obviously not. You are the worst person in New York City, Kelly Killoren Beensomeone. Congratulations. (gawker)

how to tame a feral kitty kat.

time to prove yourselves readers...

its a contest!!!!

name Kelis and Nas' new unborn baby. The couple are expecting the arrival of their first child, a son, this summer. Nas (Nadir bin Olu Dara Jones) casually suggested in this MTV article that they would create an online poll to name their kid, and offer "a couple stacks for that."  I mean come on, i need some stacks!

put your kelis + nas baby names in the comments, then maybe we will do a poll to select the official 2Pz baby name.

we LOVE kelis + nas collabos, and cant wait for the baby's first album to drop

what's uwe doing?

liz's pup, uwe, asking for his lunch!

madonna's new house

81st + lexington. gRoSs!

Madge has signed a contract to buy a four-story, Georgian-style townhouse on East 81st Street for about $40 million, sources said. That's some $5 million less than the original asking price.

"The townhouse is perfect for Madonna," according to one source. "She's trying to recreate London in New York City, and this is in the style of a London townhouse."

But her new home in what brokers call the "Far East" does not appear to be all that much of a bargain. No residence in that area "has ever sold for $20 million, let alone $30 million -- or ever will again," said one broker who asked not to be identified. (nypost)

nErD aLeRt!

herzog + de meuron have been selected to design BBVA's headquarters in madrid:

A linear structure composed of three-story buildings, alleyways and irrigated gardens is laid over the entire site like a carpet that follows the topography. Analogous to an Arabian garden, a cool, moist, fresh microclimate is created. Each workspace has a “green view”. The layout, with its horizontal branches, is more appropriate to today’s working world than open-plan offices, in which an employee feels like a number.(dezeen)

colbert gets screwed

What do you do when you're NASA and comedian Stephen Colbert wins your contest to name the new wing for the International Space Station? You name an orbital exercise machine after him.

The Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill, or COLBERT, is expected to keep astronauts in shape.

With the help of a legion of fans, Colbert got the most votes in the space agency's online poll soliciting names for Node 3, which will be called Tranquility after the Sea of Tranquility, where Apollo 11 landed on the moon.

Astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams revealed NASA's decision on "The Colbert Report," which aired on Comedy Central on Tuesday.

"Your name will be in space, in a very important place," Williams said as Colbert reacted in mock disgust to her announcement of the node's new name.

"I think a treadmill is better than a node ... because the node is just a box for the treadmill," Colbert deadpanned. "Nobody says, 'Hey, my mom bought me a Nike box.' They want the shoes that are inside." (cnn)
