Caps v Pens game

David, Lauren, Mike and I went to the Capitals v. Penguins hockey game this afternoon.

The four of us (along with four others) are now officially Caps season ticket holders for the 2009-2010 season. (see this post for how I got duped into that one!) But today, we were outfitted in Penguins gear.

As my nearest and dearest friends know, I am a HUGE hockey fan.

Yeah, not really.

Anyway, the four of us didn't sit together. David had his firm's tickets, which included a parking pass. Mike drove the four of us together, and as we were pulling into the Verizon Center parking garage, either Mike or David joked about how everything at the Verizon Center was sponsored by Lexus, and we were driving a Lexus. Hardy, har, har.

This quit being funny and started being awesome, when we were crawling through the parking lot, anticipating having to drive deeper and deeper down to get a spot behind all the other cars in front of us, when an attendant waves to us, walks over to an empty space that has an orange cone in front of it, removes the orange cone, and indicates for us to back into the space. Right next to the elevators. On the first floor of parking.

We've got no idea what's going on, but who are we to argue?


Until we step out of the car, and there is this sign:

We head into the game, and before we split up into our seats (David and Lauren all posh and comfortable, me and Mike, not so much!), Mike and David want to swing by where their season tickets are for next season.

Here they are:

(ok, not the best picture, but you get the idea!)

A quick "hi!" to Lori and Mark, long-time season holders whose seats we won't be far from, and then up to watch the game.

And, well, that's all I'll say about that. Let's just say that a screaming and upset husband doesn't do much to foster my love of the game.
