Oh What A Night!

Well, the Blazers lost, but it was a GREAT night.
Like any McDonald event, there were a couple of quirks along the way. . .
The limo driver, Willy, picked Kyle and Jordy up at the hospital. He asked them where they wanted to eat and offered a few suggestions. Red Robin was the only one that sounded familiar, so Red Robin it was. The driver gave them a hundred dollar bill, and said to enjoy dinner. Kyle said that the waitress sort of looked at them funny when the paid for a bowl of soup and a burger with a hundred dollar bill! We are pretty sure that the used their magic marker to make sure the bill was real.
Next, the were off to the Rose Garden. This is where the story gets interesting! They got out of the limo, and Jordy asked about their tickets. Willy said he thought they already had them. Panic set in, but Willy straightened things out. He did not get the e-mail from the owner of the tickets that he left the tickets in his desk in VANCOUVER! So they hopped back in the limo and headed to Vancouver. As they approached the company office, Willy said, "Hang on, it may get a little rough". Jordy said he continued to explaining that the office was easy to see, but hard to get to. They traveled on some back streets, but eventually reached their destination. Willy picked up the tickets and whisked them off to return to the Rose Garden.
Finally, they arrived. Just in time for tip-off. Their tickets were just to the right of center court and in the FRONT ROW! For those of you who were looking for them on TV, Jordy went undercover and wore a stocking hat (making it impossible to spot his shiny head). Also they way the cameras were positioned, the score was displayed directly covering them.
During the third quarter a man came up and gave them passes for the locker-room after the game. After the game finished, a man from Nike talked to the boys and took them to meet LeBRON JAMES! He signed the shoes that he wore in the game and gave them to Jordy. I think Kyle just about passed out.
The limo ride back to the hospital was fun. Willy said that the boys had lots of stories to tell. Boy, was he right.

As far as the Blazer Dancers go . . . Jordy said that a few were definitely on the "veteran squad". In other words, they were older looking than he expected. I though that was a great comment.
Kyle and Jordy sent a text while they were heading out of Vancouver that the price on the tickets was eight hundrend dollars each! They were amazed.
I am attaching a few pictures from last night. I will send a picture of Jordy with Lebron James' shoes later today. Kyle and Jordy forgot to take a picture of Lebron with Jordy. I think they were both so excited and surprised that their brains were on overload. It is ok, they have the picture in their minds and the smiles to prove it.
