One of my life long dreams came true last night. I got to attend a Western Conference Finals game at the Staples Center and sit Court Side. A few weeks ago my buddy Jared and I went to the Jazz/Lakers game which was sweet too, being that it was my first playoff game. But to get to watch the Lakers beat up on the defending champion Spurs while sitting so close to Jack I could see the Viagra pills in his blazer pocket was pretty sweet. There were a lot of high lights to the night...the game, the seats, the celebs, etc., but the most memorable occured in a crowded mens bathroom at half time. There was a line for the urinals. When it was finally my turn I pulled into my spot amongst the crowd and noticed the guy next to me demonstrating some sweet skills. He was using his right hand to accomplish the task at hand, and with his left hand he was texting someone. I didn't pay close enough attention to see if he was able to maintain accurate aim, but I was impressed at his ability to multitask. I can't imagine the urgency of the message, but I guess it couldn't wait 30 seconds till he was done. Anyway, a big thanks to Blaine for the invite. It was hard to sacrifice a night watching my four nieces and nephews, but I couldn't' pass it up. Thank you to Shalaine for going solo with the four kids plus Axel plus Ricky...so six kids. (Just kidding Ricky.) And thanks to Steph and Eric for filling in with Sharon so Blaine could have a night out. I'm sure there is no one he would rather spend his first night out with than me and Ashley Olsen. Here are some pictures of famous people, basketball players, and famous basketball players. (I could only post 5 pics here so check the Hendricksons blog for more. http://neversaycant.blogspot.com. There's a link to it on this blog.)
"Down in front!" I felt like I was yelling that the whole game.
Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers played the National Anthem on his trumpet and it was awesome.
Calling all Full House fans. My new crack head girlfriend was sitting 2 rows behind us. She couldn't even afford our seats.
Lamar is wondering who the dork is with the telephoto lens.
Kobe played great as always, despite playing with an apparent nipple rash.

Glad you got to live that dream Cort. Sounds like a perfect night!
Your dad leaned over to me in Sacrament Meeting and told me there were some new Axel posting so I had to ditch Sunday School to see them! Thank you Aceman!!! And I thought your dream was a beautiful wife, darling son, and living in CA where you can play golf 24-7. Thank you Hendrickson's for making ALL of Cort's dreams come true!
