Yesterday we were offered third row seats to the WNBA playoffs....The Phoenix Mercury against the San Antonio Silver Stars (who's job is it to name these teams?)
Black Jerseys = Silver Stars. White Jerseys = The Mighty Mercury
We went with the attitude of considering our appearance to be similar to community service. Someone needs to support them, right? But we ended up having a really good time.
The game was really intense, and I ended up getting far too in to it. And am embarrassed to say I would go again.
My biggest regret was not having my video camera. The WNBA has a very interesting fan-base, who offered countless amazing footage moments. I may have matched the fans in intensity but there were many other things that separated me from them. Such as: a biker chain, an Ellen DeGeneres hair cut, oh and a husband.
This is Charles Barkley one of the top 50 players of all time. I learnt that if someone points out Charles Barkley in a crowd full of Basketball fans and you go "Gnarles Barkley, where?" The person in front of you will turn around, and give you a very dirty look, and Kevin will have to jump in and explain that you are from England and don't know too much about basketball.
Moral of the story: Don't judge basketball by who is playing it. A good game, is still a good game. (Kevin will pretend he doesn't agree with this statement, but I saw how much fun he had last night. Don't let him tell you otherwise)

I went to one Mercury game when the WNBA first started. I really enjoyed it too...Granted I was probably 12. My brother & boy cousin went too...They hide in garbage bags. I am glad you are enjoying my home. I hope all is well! You guys look adorable!
white pants after labor day? but seriously, it looks like you guys are having lots of fun in AZ and getting sweet hookups! NBA finals here you come!
