Timberwolves

Last night we went to the Timberwolves game with Heather and Jim, and Jim's parents. Jim's dad's company is a sponsor of the team, so they get lots of free tickets - in REALLY good seats!

We were totally on row G, so they were GREAT. We were a little to the right of the center court mark. Then at half time, we were able to go with the others (since they had a higher level seats than us) to the special "Lexus Club". They serve free alcohol and you basically have to walk thru the tunnel the players come out of to get to it. So neat. We missed pretty much the whole 3rd quarter, but it was fun to be back there. And on the way back we walked right behind the players who were sitting. I could have bopped one on the head if I wanted to! Ok, maybe with the cop staring at me it wouldn't have been a good idea, but you get my point. We were THAT close! :)

We played the Boston Celtics. It was a really close game the entire night, but unfortunately we lost by 2 points because of a crappy call in the last 10 seconds. It was funny being to a new team's game. They are all about the "wolves" theme. Their mascot is a little furry wolf that runs around (a person in a costume, not a real one, haha). Then when the other team shoots a free throw, they put the picture of the wolf up and it howls. Then the entire arena howls too! And yes, I howled a couple of time for funsies. :) Here are some pics from the game:
