Secret Service + ND Plates + Me = Terrorist

So last night, was kind of a bust. The Blues lost badly, but that's ok, they are a young team. On a better note I became better friends with Brandi. She sat with us at the game, and hilarious she was. I found it weird to have met a girl who knew more racial, and wittier jokes then I. Although I'm not that funny, but I do know a few good ones. Here's her showing how funny my jokes were:

Ouch, I know I'm bad but did you really need the thumb action.. Also last night was pretty sweet as I got my first glimpse of what it's like to be a Secret Service Guard/No Personality/Machine with no sense of fun. We all met at Paddy O's to pregame it up, but since I had the ticket hook-ups I had to run to the Scottrade twice to pick up every one's ticket. Therefore, every time I had to pass by the Westin, which had the priviledge to hold the Palin family overnight. To top it off that same hotel just happened to be on the same street I needed to pass through, and Secret Service was all over every vehicle that drove by. Stopping and searching vehicles (mainly trucks like mine that had North Dakota Plates on in the State of Misery--suspicious?? very) for car bombs or truck bombs, you know stuff like that.. The second time I went through they were really careful and questioned me again saying they remembered me, and wanted to know why I needed to go get "more" tickets. I told them I understand it probably looks like I'm suspicious, but really I do like Sarah Palin, and her family, I then told them to look up my blog, as I'm no Barraky fan. Still unamused I told them to lighten up, as I'll be going back this way in a few minutes.....

So we got to the game just in time for the huge amount of cheers for the Palin Family to drop the puck. Many people thought there would be boos, but I'm going to say about 90% cheers to about 10% boos, and its the 1st time in MY LIFE! Of the thousands of hockey games I've been to, never have I seen Political Signs busted out! People had Obama Biden signs, to McCain Palin.. Weird, I felt like I was at a political rally for a minute, and not a hockey game:

Sorry the picture is crappy, these are from my phone..

Another cool thing, was that the whole Palin family decided to take over the 3 suites right above my section. The only bad thing was every time you left your seat the Secret Service would raise hell, and wanted to escort you to your seat.. I understand that place was a logistical nightmare for the Secret Service..

That's her in the White Jacket. Also take note the folks in "Blue" ya that was the cops, and the Secret Service "trying to blend in" you know like a Chameleon does with a plant..

So we decided to just drink the beer the beer man brought down, since he too was searched because crazy colored guys yelling: "GET YOUR BIG BOYS!, 24's out of the Refrigerator Door!, 9 DOLLA 'make you HOLLA!!" Great stuff beer seller man... I tipped him a bone for every one, and asked if he could give us a rap too.. He said he would spitt some mad game down for Brandi, and asked her if she wanted to listen to his demo.... At that point she then asked, "Could you take our picture of us beer man?" I thought, quick witty answer to the creepy gangsta beer man..

Thanks Beer Man... As my vision has slowly become more hazy...
As the game wore on, the Blues couldn't convert or start, or hit anything. So we drank more, and more... I thought the Palin family would bail out early like they did for that Philly game, so I turned around, and sure enough she was still there...

Notice how the booze managed to take over my camera as well?

Great talk everyone, here's to knowing the Blues will come out tonight and dominate!
