Live from Pasadena

I've been searching the world for tickets that wouldn't cause my wife to birth a two-headed calf.  Any decent seat is going for about a grand at this point.  Great seats, $1500-2000.

Ran into this buddy of mine.  Cat says, "they offered me some tickets, but I have to work early.  I don't wanna go." 

"WTF," says I.  "Why didn't you call me?"

"I can get you tickets probably.  Let me ask my father-in-law."  Old guy is a retired surgeon, old time Pasadena money.

"I'll take anything between the goal lines," says I.

Two days later, he calls me. 

"Come get the tickets.  Bring a check for $385 each (face).  I think they're decent seats."

Section 19.  Row 44. 

50 YD line.  Halfway up.

I'll be the semi-coherent joker wearing his January 4, 2000 BCS Sugar Bowl Hat.  You know the one in which FSU beat Mike Vick 46-29. 

I expect a similar result.

OK.  Headed down to the Rose Bowl for the big game, tickets in hand--only to be told the game isn't until January 6th.  Bunch of hungover people decked out in green wandering aimlessly, reluctant to leave the site of their newly-achieved glory.  Some BS people paying money to look at floats.

Had to stop into the Brookside Bar and check out my Thai friend (and bartender), Saki. 

Settling in for the four-day tailgate.

hope you are enjoying the nice weather we have here, and you are lucky to get tickets for that price. I can't even find tickets myself.

Report #4

Was stumbling down Colorado Blvd. tonight and saw a guy who bore a passing resemblance to Nick Marshall ducking into an alley with a transgendered hooker (not that there's anything wrong with that.  Some of my best friends are transgendered hookers). 

Just made me wonder what time curfew is for Allbarn?

Report #5

Forecast for today:

Early beer followed by late beer, with a very small chance of defeat.  Nary a cloud to be seen.

tickets are now going for BELOW face value

saw that.  been dropping for 48 hours.  most tkts are on FSU side, BTW.

Bunch of greedy mofos got burned

Report #6

Here's the question for this game? 

Can Auburn stop the run?  If so, they've got a shot at making FSU one-dimensional.  If not, gonna be a long day.

I'm a homer.
