Matt and I have been planning on going to the NBA All Star Game for the past year.
When they announced it was in LA I told Matt that we had to go. I almost convinced him to drop a small fortune on Game 7 Finals tickets with me last June but it's hard to fathom blowing that much money on an anything that lasts two and a half hours. So I figured the only way we'd end up actually doing it for All Star weekend was if we committed months in advance.
When there were rumors that Lebron and Blake Griffin might be in the Dunk Contest together I thought about getting tickets for Saturday night but I was skeptical since the Dunk contest has been so awful the past few years. Then about a month ago I found out that Matt and I had a wedding to go to in Santa Barbara on All Star Weekend. But I don't like giving up on things. So I looked up tickets to the Rookie/Sophomore game on Friday and confirmed that we could still squeeze it into our schedule on our way up the coast. I told Matt that he should be happy because we could get way better tickets to the Rookie game for a fraction of the price (yet still ridiculously expensive).
And then we got a call a few days ago and a new client booked us tickets to go to Florida next week and shoot a video. For one day. Friday the 18th.
I don't really want to give away all the details but it's the type of thing you give up All Star games for. No big deal. Now I just have to convince Matt to commit to traveling with me to next year's game.
Stay tuned.
