Jazz VS. Rockets: 2/27/10

At the first of the year Chavis and I decided that we wanted to go to a Jazz game, so I called a bunch of our couple-friends and got a BIG group to go with us!

It's funny that I'd be so excited about a Jazz game, but I hadn't been to one in years and...I LOVE that they're bringing back their old-school uniforms!!! So I told Chavis that in order to attend the game I HAD to BUY me a green jazz shirt :)

A full month of anticipation: the GAME, going with tons of our FRIENDS, and of course..my GREEN T-SHIRT!

So the last weekend of February finally came and our group headed up north: Kendra & Jordan, Kamry & Jeremy, Roman & Nikki, FEAR, Quinn, Bri, Shay, and Chavis & I.

FEAR, Quinn, Bri, Shay, and Chavis and I all went to the FANZZ store in provo and got hooked-up with jazz attire, ate some lunch with a high-school friend of mine, Jordan Howa, and then headed up north to meet up with the rest of our group.

We decided to take the TRAX to the game so we wouldn't have to find parking, very smart. My mom, as always, loaded me up with treats to take to the game...enough for EVERYONE...the only problem...we had to sneak them in. And of course i'm the only one with a HUGE bag..you could barely carry a thing of ti-tacs in bri and shay's purses. Luckily, Nikki, Roman's date had a decent size purse, so we hid a thing of treats in her bag, two in my bag, and one in my coat...I felt so dangerous haha.

After a 30 min ride on the trax we arrived to the Energy Solutions Arena, and that is where the big task came into play (or so I thought). As I inched closer to the door I could feel my heart POUNDING (hilarious, given that it was over a bloody box of candy), and in my head I was thinking, "If I get caught with this damn box of candy and they MAKE me throw it away, I'm going to be PISSED." I get to the door, and I have a woman bag-checker, which in my mind is worse because they know how sneaky women are hiding things in their bags. Lucky for me I had some pamphlets in my bag so I wrapped them around the boxes of candy, and IT WORKED!

Next was the real task; we had nose-bleed seats..the very top row. It didnt even dawn on me that Roman was on crutches til I started up the steps!!! But somehow he made it up all those steps..what a trooper, he probably could've gotten an upgrade if he'd asked.

The game was a BLAST! The Jazz played great!!! They even wore their green uniforms! And our nose-bleed seats turned out to be the best nose-bleed seats ever, because in the box behind us was Brown Bro. Construction, and they hooked us up with nachos, drinks, popcorn, and treats. They were a WAY awesome bunch!

All-in-all the entire trip was a blast! I'm so glad so many of our friends were able to come with us, and it was a great way to end the month!
