GOOAAALLLL!!!!

WOW! What an event it was Tuesday night @ the Pepsi Center watching the Colorado Avalanche play!

This reward for our second project was spectacular! I was so excited to have the chance to go to an AV's game because I have never been before. We were able to kick it VIP style in the Key Bank suite that was stocked full of food and refreshments. It was AMAZING! Not only did we get to fill our faces with tons of great food and enjoy the game in style and comfort, but we also got the chance to get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Pepsi Center!

The behind the scenes tour was pretty awesome, especially seeing how Altitude puts together these sporting events for you the viewer at home. There are so many individuals running around, pushing buttons, controlling cameras, giving video direction...it is just mind boggling. I do not know how they keep things flowing so smoothly all the time. I had troubles walking up the stairs to one of the production trailers (yeah...I some how have the amazing ability of tripping UP stairs and not down like normal clumsy people), so how these people do it without injuring themselves on all the exposed cabling and monstrous stairs I cannot figure out. It must have something to do with cat-like reflexes and not being clumsy like myself. Luckily for me..no one really saw my mishap on the stairs (except for the security lady that let out a slight chuckle...darn her!).

I was really glad to have this wonderful opportunity awarded to us. At the end of the game we were able to get autographs thanks to one of the AV's players donating some VIP passes for us to gain access of where the players come out when they are leaving.

The Highlight Reel:

• AVS GAME = AWESOME!
• FREE FOOD AND BEVERAGE = AWESOME!
• VIP SUITE = AWESOME!
• BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR = AWESOME!
• AUTOGRAPHS = AWESOME!
• Being able to take a significant other (GF) to the game= Brownie points (hopefully enough to counteract all the times I have been away working hard on these projects!)
• Hearing Giedre and her dad yell at the Canucks in Lithuanian = Interesting, yet AWESOME!
• FREE DESERT = Sample plate of everything...thus, concordingly, ergo, vis-a-vi = AWESOME!
• Having a memorable time = PRICELESS!
