Lisa & the Lakers and a couple other things

Last night the whole staff was given tickets to the Lakers game to be there as they celebrated Lisa's career.  It was pretty cool.  There was a special reception in the Chairman's Room before the game and the food was amazing and this picture is the cake they had made for her.  It was a pretty classy party.  I bumped into Andy Garcia accidently and for a minute I thought to myself, I wonder if he's like his character from Ocean's 11 and a couple of guys are about to come get me and take me in the back, then I wondered if he carries a pistol and he's a sharpshooter like his character in the Untouchables... just kidding, he didnt even notice because it was crowded in there.

So the Lakers honored Lisa on-court at halftime by playing a short video and then they gave her a #9 Lakers jersey with her name on the back.  The crowd also gave her a great round of applause which was both nice and surprising because the crowd at Lakers games is TOTALLY different from a Sparks game.  It's like the people there, (at least in the lower bowl), are there watching a show or at a hollywood elite event where you just sit and watch and talk quietly amongst yourselves.  They get into it from time to time but I think I could've yelled out Phil's name from across the arena and he might have turned his head because he heard me.

A couple things, we're trying to plan our holiday party and should have all the specifics by the end of today or early tomorrow so look out for an MVP Alert about that.  I can tell you that I'm 99.7% sure that it's going to be downtownish between 2-4pm... The last thing is that we will most likely also be having a garage sale that day... we have a lot of stuff leftover from the first one in storage and in the office here.  So if you missed your chance to pick up a Sparks trapperkeeper, HAVE NO FEAR.

i'm out, that's all i've got...
