So this was one of the more exciting things that happened in the past few weeks.
On Monday night I had just got home from work and was kinda dicking around before I had a shower. I then get a call from Sarah at 6:40pm and had the following conversation:
Sarah: "Hey, what are you up to? Have you got anything on tonight?"
Me: "Um, just got home, about to take a shower, I don't have anything planned"
"Do you wanna go to the Ice Hockey? I have free tickets"
"Shit Yeah! When does it start"
"in 20 min, I'll meet you at Stadium Chinatown skytrain station, txt me when you get on the train"
So I sorted my shit out in record time and we got to the game at 7:05pm. Unfortunately we missed the opening which is apparently pretty awesome but that just means I'll have to go to another game some time. I hadn't even watched from start to finish on TV before so I was pretty stoked to be there. The atmosphere was incredible. Apparently there is a fair bit of rivalry between Chicago and Vancouver but it was a surprisingly clean match (as clean as Ice Hockey can get!), there were no fights!
The story behind the tickets were Sarah's CEO had given her tickets a couple of months ago to pass on to one of the Principals in her office, she had emailed them both of the Principals telling them she had two tickets and they could take someone to the game. No one got back to her and she totally forgot she had them until 6:30pm on game night! She had quickly called them to see if they could find anyone they wanted to give the tickets and no one came through so she got them. Pretty awesome!
Even more awesome was that the Canucks won, find below proof with "Fin" celebrating. Great night. Thanks Saz!
