From Atlanta with Luck...

I decided to stay downtown in Atlanta a few weeks ago. It was the beginining of Spring and there were weddings, proms and sports events in the air.
I was looking down from above.
Hearing that there was a Hawks NBA Playoff game in town, I decided to walk to a nearby brew-pub (thanks google!), upon my arrival, I was less than overwhelmed, finding nary a soul, and myself seated next to an overly talky manager...

However, it was a good thing my ears were functioning, beacause they perked right up upon hearing that she had two tickets to raffle. Noticing no one else present, I asked if I might have a chance.

"If no one else shows up, babe. You win."

I ordered a beer and fifteen minutes later I had two NBA playoff tickets.

After changing at the hotel, I made my way down Peachtree to the stadium, sold one ticket and walked into my first NBA game in two decades for free!

It was a blast, and the hawks sealed their entry into the second round. Since then they have been eliminated, but I still have my Hawks towel to wave if I ever come back. Needless to say that all my excitment was erased when the Lakers perished at the hands of the Devlish Dallas Mavericks, but at the very least I have a playoff game under my belt.

Alas poor Lakers, we knew them well, Jackson, a team of infinate skill!
