Jazz Fever

We love the Jazz at our house. We don't have cable and so we only get to watch the games which are on KJAZZ, only about twice a month. We get pretty excited when we see that a game is on TV that we can actually watch. Brandon is always trying to get me to take him to a game, we tried over christmas break and couldn't get tickets. On Friday he came home from school and said, "please will you get tickets for the Jazz game tonight"? It wasn't hard to convince me. The only problem was that I am pretty cheap and was not about to pay a $15 processing charge on $5 tickets. If I am going to pay more than $5 then I better have decent seats. Well after I told him we couldn't go he asked me to check one more website. Sure enough we found $5 tickets with only a $1 processing fee.

We didn't care that they were playing an easy and not popular team, the Oklahoma City something or others. Our seats were up in the rafters, but we didn't care. We moved down closer and used our binoculars. At half time we tried to move down on the 7th row, but someone beat us to those empty seats. As we were walking back to our original seats we passed where Thurl Bailey does his halftime show. We were able to go up to him and get pictures. That was exciting, he was very nice.


Our neighbors have told us about how they wait for the players to drive out of the parking lot and where to wait. Well that is right up my alley so off we went to wait for the players. It was freezing outside, but we stood there waiting. About 15other fans were also waiting. Some of the players are very nice and stop and sign autographs and some just drive on by not even looking in the direction of the fans that keep them employed. The first player to stop was Brevan Knight, he was cute and nice. Then Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Miles stopped. Brandon kept saying, "we can't leave until Korver comes out". Oh don't worry I was not going anywhere until he came out. Well he finally came and he was so nice and soooo cute and it was just fun, fun, fun.



We got back in the car after 45 minutes of standing in the 30 degrees weather. We were freezing, but it was so worth it. These are the kinds of memories that I love having with my kids. Jacob insists that we take him next time so he can also meet Kyle Korver!
