OPENING NIGHT

Well, I've only been waiting for this day for months. Celtics home opener, against some team from Florida, and I'm in Boston for it! Unfortunately the FL team is the Miami Heat, including the "talents" of LeBron James, so while that's a coup for NBA ticket sales, it priced me out of the market. I held out hope that I'd be able to get a scalped ticket, but by the time I got there, people were asking me if I had tickets to sell. Even though I didn't make it into the Garden, it still was a great night.

It started off with a GW Alum in Boston Happy Hour. I tried to convince a few friends to come, but everyone backed out. I wasn't about to turn down 2 free drinks and food and exploring more of Boston, so I went solo. It was at Ned Devine's, part of Fanuil Hall, and I ran into Crobb, who played GW rugby for the men's team, so there was at least one friendly face.

Then I headed over to the Garden, just a few blocks north. After failing to procure a ticket, I joined BrandonB and friends at a nearby bar and we had a great time cheering on the Celtics win.

I had a bit of a Lost on Boston crisis on the way home, but otherwise this was a great night and I loved being downtown.
