He says, "Cause I got 4."

Another long pause, and I'm like, "Well...how much do you want for them."

He says, "I'm not selling them...I'm giving them to you." For a second there, I thought I was about to go to jail.

Then the scalper walks by right as the cop drives away and says, "You should pay me for those...he got them from me."

I was like, "OK...got to go to the ATM first...wait right there."

I hope he didn't wait.

Mountain View huh? I've been to alot of concerts there. Saw Ozzfest twice, and most recently, I went to the Mayhem festival. Terrible sound there though.

Yeah, I used to drive right by At&t on my way to work, and the scalpers would literally come up to my window trying to sell me tickets. Either that, or ask for change.

I agree...Dallas. I've already told my wife that I am going to the Saints/Dallas game. Its only a three hour drive from Shreveport. So I will need lots of support. Qbrees, I don't want to give Jonsey and of my money either, but it will be worth it to watch the Saints squash them in their own palace.

when i went to the bengals game a few years ago it was one of the most exciting things ive ever done

i loved the experience and even tho cincinnatti is one of the most confusing cities in the entire world, it would be well worth it to venture up there

i would say go to a browns game cuz if there are any fans that know how to tailgate before a game, its browns fans.....you know damn well they dont go to the games to watch the browns lol....unfortunately my brownies are playin in the dome this year so i wont get to go....

I read in another thread where you were the self-proclaimed, "biggest Saint fan"...or words to that effect. Now you're gonna say, "my brownies"?

im the biggest saints fan ever.....but i cheat on them every once in awhile when they have bye weeks or arent on TV

ive actually gotten to the point in arguments with my friends where i just revert back to

"really? you're really going to question me about something saints related? really? dont you know who i am?"

cajun, I don't what city you live in.

I would say Dallas and Atlanta are good away game trips to go to if you are in LA.
Those teams are good. Those cities have lots of N.O. Saints fans living there and many fans leave from LA and go there for the away games.

San Francisco would be good, further away, but good to really make a mini vaca if you want.

I am 3 hours from Dallas and will check into that early for myself.
Why not?

SaintPauly · 02-16-2010, 02:03 AM

Oh trust me Maid, there are officially ALOT of Saints fans in California now as well. The biggest bandwagon jumping state in the country! Especially Los Angeles, where they dont' have a team.

OldMaid · 02-16-2010, 02:18 AM

I trust you saintpaul.
No,I did not know CA and esp. L.A. had Saints fans even if they are bandwagon ones.
I know many New Orleanians left N.O.and LA to go live in CA during the 50's,60's.

I was thinking more along time and distance traveling for games.
It depends how far you want to go and how much time you have.

CA is just further away if you only have a weekend.

SaintPauly · 02-16-2010, 02:25 AM

No, I meant as of this year, there are alot of them now.

Thanks for the input everyone. One thing I forgot to factor in is that we don't exactly know which of these games may be Thursday or Monday night games which could make a big difference. I would love to go to a game in San Fransisco as I have never been to California, but that may be too far far the rest of my group. Oh and I live in Thibodaux, so Dallas would be a 10 hr or so drive I guess...not too bad.
