i like my wings burnt

it was a nail-biting 3 hours damn it. but in the end they pulled it off and scored the only goal at 19 minutes into overtime. i never thought I�d be excited about freakin?hockey again ?but you should have seen in it last night on 17th, Mean. the Ship had a LINEUP outside an hour before the game started. and we stood in line for over an hour (to it�s a PUB for chrissakes) ?then decided to leave after the fire inspector went in. Bob the Fish was too full to let anymore people in as well. it was standing room only everywhere.

we ended up at the Rose and Crown and people were sitting in the stairs, on the bars ?just to get a view of the screens. everyone was in high spirits. there were some Calgary Flames flag togas. signs with pictures of chicken wings on skewers over fire.

people got louder and rowdier and it got to the point where they would cheer their heads off everytime Kiprusoff made a save or a Red Wing would get checked. i was so nervous I thought I was going to barf. and then they scored!!

and then it was drinking time!!

I like being in Calgary where people love LOVE to drink and party but are so laid back no one bothers to get violent. i don�t know how many people were on 17th last night ?but it was a sea of bodies up and down that street. The police blocked off the main strip because it was just a big party on the road. �Go Flames Go!?deteriorated into �Show Your Tits!?as the night and the drinking wore on�there were guys in hockey gear (ice skates included) re-enacting the last few minutes of the game. people sitting on roofs of moving cars. dorks just running around retarded. you would have totally appreciated it.

I high-fived a grandma lady cause I thought it was cool of her to be there. petted all the puppies I ran into. stole an 8-ball from some pool hall. (sorry!). man that was a good game!!

wish you could have been here for it.

ps. give me my present.
