Travelogue - Portland Saturday

Saturday we did two very Portland things. In the afternoon we went to the Portland Saturday Market. I love the Saturday market. When I lived in Portland I spent plenty of weekend mornings shopping there. There is something I really like about crafts. I even bought Kate a new purse there.

In the evening we meet Sean for the Portland Trailblazers game. It was a pretty good basketball game. I had never been to a Trailblazers game before. The Rose Quarter is a good arena for basketball. We were all the way at the back of the lower bowl in the corner, but we could see all of the action fine. The Blazers beat the Timberwolves 107-96. I am happy to see NBA scores back in the 100s.

It was just fun to hang out with my brother. We were late for the game, but that did not matter because I was hanging out with Sean. That was the whole point, for us to hang out with my brother. We ended up having to park no where near the arena. Note for next time, if there is a next time, take the MAXX to the Trail Blazers game.

Dumb Mistake?

In my last entry I just told everyone I was going to a basketball game. This is the same as telling people I am going to be out of my apartment. I wonder if anyone could read Sad Salvation and decide to rob my apartment? I have a slight fear of coming back to my apartment and everything being gone. I wonder if I might accidentally lead people do that to me? Does anyone else have this fear?

basketball

I am planning on going to a college basketball game today. I am going to the Pete Newell Challenge. It is a tournament that Stanford competes in every year. My company is sponsoring the game. If you watch the game on Fox Sports Net you will see sponsored by TiVo. They were giving the tickets out for free on Thursday.

It has been a long time since I have seen a College Basketball game live. I think that it goes all the way back to when I was in College. The game is at the Arena In Oakland. It is one of the few buildings that have not sold its name to a company. People refer it as the ‘O-rena’ all the time.

I am looking forward to going to this game. If it were not for the game, I would just be sitting around my apartment all day. I did not have any plans or motivation to do anything. It is easy to go to something where I have free tickets.

I could not find anyone to go with me. Part of the problem is that no one is in town. The other problem is that everyone at TiVo already got tickets to go. There will be a lot of people from TiVo there. I am not worried about going to this thing alone. It is a good event for a Saturday Night.
