I went to a few games last season and with the opening of the Stocton arena for the Thunder and their $9~12 ticket prices, it's hard to want to go see the sharks live. last time we went I thought I was watching from the parking lot! talk about nose bleed seats... at the Thunder games, sitting in their worst seat, you can still read the names off the jersey's and feel like your right there next to it.

 

That's the way it is over here as well. The Phantoms play wher the Flyers used to play ( the Spectrum ) and every seat in the house is a good one and ticket prices are around 12 dollars or so. It costs that much just to PARK at a Flyers game nowadays !!

 

yeah, forgot about parking... the sharks run $10 bux. thunder $0 (park on the street). the way I look at it, it's like going to a movie... sit in the $9 seats and it's cheeper than a movie (in this area anyway).

 

I love getting free tickets and parking passes

 

i know im dumb but you use your Cell for internet on your laptop how does that work?

 

I dont use my cell phone, I have a dedicated line from cingular, I had to buy a pcmcia card for the lappy. that card & s/w from cingular allows me to connect to the cingular network and onto the internet. costs me $70 bux/mo and it's worth it. stuck in a hotel on business? on vacation? traveling & need info on anything? connect & your good to go. I've even chatted with one other DFer thru YIM while traveling back from canada. blew him away since he knew I was gone.

that is a way bad *** setup.

 

yeah it's pretty quick too... minimum dsl speeds, they were suposed to upgrade our area to get into the 1 meg speeds. I cant tell you how many times i've connected thru a wifi connection that wasnt advertised or offered ... sitting in the jury parking lot for jury duty... parked across from a row of houses & cruised the web for 20~30 minutes at a time.
