Make A Wish

So, I think Ben is the luckiest kid in the world. Or, at least he has the coolest parents and friends! For those who don't know, Ben is a big LA Lakers fan. Pretty tough being a Lakers fan in King's country. But, the stars recently aligned for Ben, and thanks to some great friends, we were able to give Ben a night he probably won't forget at the recent Kings vs Lakers game! We kept it a secret from Ben until we got to the Arena - and we blew his mind! Here's a quick summary:

1) One of our friends was kind enough to share his super-fantastic-totally-awesome 6th row Kings vs Lakers tickets with Ben and me. Not only are the seats so close to the court, but they happen to be right behind the visitors' bench! Can't get much better than this! Thanks for a great time John and Sam!

2) To top things off, another one of our friends prints the jerseys for the Kings. He was kind enough to get VIP passes for all of us! We got to eat in the VIP lounge, walk through the players tunnel, go on the court during pre-game warm ups, and generally act like Big Shots for the night. It was pretty fun having security start to yell at us for going in restricted areas - only to then see our VIP pass, and say, "Oh, sorry. Please proceed!" Mike - you are the coolest - thanks for the hookup!

Enjoy some pics and videos of the event!
