(Almost) Free Fun

SuperD and I took C for an adventure this evening. We went to our first NBA game. And we got our tickets for free! We arrived for the OKC Thunder game 3 hours early and registered to received two raffle tickets. If one of our tickets was called, we would get two tickets to the game. SuperD had told us that if we only got two tickets, he would let us have them, and he would pick us up after the game. W had been told the game was sold out, so there was no chance of us buying a cheap ticket.

We strolled around Bricktown (downtown OKC) for a while and returned to the arena an hour before game time. We waited with anticipation as they called out raffle numbers. "1306. 1307. 1306. 1307," we chanted. C and I screamed incredibly loudly when they called our number. We sadly waved good-bye to SuperD and entered the security checkpoint. Once inside, we waited, hoping his number would be called, too. And it was! I never win anything! But all three of us won free tickets! Two of the seats were in the very top row of the arena, and the third seat was one row down. I sat by myself and let the boys enjoy the male bonding thing.

Because we didn't pay for the tickets, we splurged a little on food. We ate a Thunder Dog, nachos, and cotton candy.

It was great fun, even though the Thunder lost!

The funniest thing: When I asked C if he wanted to go to the Thunder game, he thought about it for a few seconds, and then asked, "Will there be cheerleaders there?"
