now I'm rejoicing over the Miami Heat tix I just purchased
same f'ing seats as last year

Thinkin' about going to a game this year while in Miami.
Have not picked the day yet because I want the NBA problems to be totally over before buying my ticket.

It's set. The players and owners have ratified the new CBA. Now there's this whole fiasco with the league blocking a trade that would've sent Chris Paul to the Lakers (a really, really idiotic maneuver by the league but as a Celtics fan a part of me is smiling at that one!). Great way to improve your public image after a lockout.

I think it will go thru in another form, I honestly thought Houston got pwned in it, and the hornets got older, i am sure if the lakers give up another pick or take on some salary for the other teams then it will get accepted.

what's the problem with this trade?

Michael, the tickets went on sale yesterday - and I immediately had to save us "our" seats
Saturday before the cruise, they are playing the 69ers
we really enjoyed last year's game; we would have been disappointed if they didn't schedule a home game for that weekend

The 69ers? We talking about a lingirie league? :lol:

The trade was blocked by the NBA, who owns the Hornets at this point, because of pressure from small market owners. They rose a big stink about competitive balance and not wanting superstars to just decide to go to big markets. It was horseshit. Dan Gilbert, who owns the Cavs is being a whiny little bitch ever since LeBron left. :roll:

As Cyco said, I expect it to eventually go through in some form. I thought the Hornets actually got some good pickups in that one, since they won't get too much better of an offer, especially since teams know that they have to get rid of him or he'll walk in free agency. Of course, I'd love for him to not go to the Lakers because I fucking hate Kobe Bryant and everything Laker related and want them to have nothing but misery :mrgreen:

You're teached will kick you out after one class!

its all online, i have to hear the words, type them, and say them. it's on Babbel, it's actually cool, it uses your computer microphone and some sort of algorithm to test how you pronounce the words and it won't let you move on until to you say them well enough.

Well, done until Fall 2013 when I start graduate school. But that's still a ways off

sweet, now u can come to paganfest denver!

Maybe Unfortunately $600 won't cover the full price of a plane ticket to Denver. For now that money is going into my "70K + Seattle + Edmonton Beer Fund" but things may change in the future because I reallllyyy want to go to Paganfest

Nice!!

Re: Denver Paganfest - I was just thinking about it, since it might be a few of us from Calgary driving for it (Rhia I'm so stoked to potentially hit up some breweries with you!) it would probably be cheaper for you to fly Denver rather than fly to Calgary/Edmonton and drive with us huh? Yesh. Although it would be considerably less fun with the former.

Joey have you heard more about this from people? I reeeeeallly want to make this happen!!

oops, double post

by **AlaskaRachel** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:45 pm

Awww it would be so fun to fly to Calgary and drive with you guys :cry:

It's a little cheaper to fly to Denver than Calgary/Edmonton, but not that much cheaper. It's like $750 round trip for Denver and around $850 rt Canada. :cry:

It boggles me that its cheaper to go straight to Denver. Flying in Canada is effing lame :bitch:

I know, it's retarded. And it's only because like 90% of flights here go through Seattle, so that's what makes it more expensive...geographically it makes no sense

For a 3 and half hour flight going from Seattle to Anchorage is pretty damn expensive, always around 400-500 bucks when I look

by **Ravenlord** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 12:40 am

Those prices are pretty insane considering my entire trip ( about 35 hours worth of flights ) only cost me $1100. Although it was through a british site I booked it.
