LA Kings vs. Vancouver Canucks

So, I cancelled my season tickets to the Kings this season and apparently they want me to continually spent insane amounts of money on hockey games, so they sweetened the deal by offering me two complimentary event suite tickets to the Canuck game last night. All I can say is wow.

Ryan and I took the Green/Blue Line there and arrived around 6.15, we picked up the tickets at will call and entered through the VIP entrance. We walked the stairs to Suite E.9 and opened the doors into a mega luxury box filled with free food, free beer, other formet season ticket holders and ticket reps. We made a pact to never look the reps in the eye so we wouldn't have to listen to their schpiel about returning to the Kings and went straight for the food.

So much food to eat. Cobb salad, fajitas, veggie burritos, crab cakes (yecch), chips and salsa, carmel apples, lemon squares, brownie bits, pecan pie slices, and of course the Corona -- all for free! We ended up having 5 beers each, too much food to think about, and before we took off for another suite that had less people in it, we met Dave Taylor and had him autograph both our jerseys. The game was somewhat flat overall, but there was a fight, some good hitting, some weird goals, and a good Canadien Nat'l Anthem.

After eating and drinking before the game, we ate and drank during the game and between periods, it was as if we were Roman Patricians at the Coloseium (SP, Jon?) and were basking in the intense over stimulation, minus the underage male fellatio artists by our sides, of course -- we had underage FEMALE artists last night.

All in all, one hell of a good time.

PS I think I am going to remove the reviews page. Yay or Nay? (not that anyone will tell me one way or another, of course)
