A little tease of whats to come....

 

Anyone Going??!!!!!

 

is it going to be televised?

 

i have NO idea...all i know is that i already got tickets

 

ahhh..this is the event you speak of.

is it possible to not have tickets for seats and still get a good view?

 

I wanna watch this from home on my 62" HD while drinking beer!

 

i've got you beat! 65" HD

but, technically, it's my dad's..

 

damn, I've been "1 upped"

 

it's ok. you can come over and watch my tv


drawback? my mom tivo's all her fob soap operas on it, so we always have to watch tv upstairs

 

i get to watch it live! + drink all the beer i want...
