day 115: game 6

I love my life.

I love that I have friends in LA who have kids, because I can spend a few days with them and then the very next day go out with friends. Today, I went to the Ellen Degeneres show in Burbank with Meredith. I followed it with watching game 6 at Busby's with Chadonna. This series is frenetic. Lakers are playing... not very honorable, and Rockets well...I can't believe there is going to be a game 7.

I must say that I love Busby's. It has become my new favorite venue to watch sports. I can't believe that I've never discovered it before. First time I came here was with Fish and Carla last week. I live near Barney's Beanery, which if you have a good seat, it's great for watching sports, but if not, it kinda sucks. We arrived late, because I got out of Ellen at 6 and Chadonna just got off from work. We rushed over in time to catch the half time report. Even thought we were in standing room, it was not a bad spot. Drinks are reasonably priced $5-$6 for a beer (I know! in LA!) and that's not a happy hour price. My next statement will solidify the decision for most of my friends: They have Boddingtons on tap, FTW! Seriously, I'm surprised that I have not discovered this place before. I've lived in LA for 8 years! The crowd was a nice mixture of Lakers and Rockets fans who were chanting, cheering and high fiving. Awesome! Too bad the Lakers couldn't pull it out, but we'll see on Sunday. They're back in our house, and you know that we'll be back in our new house, Busby's, on Sunday. On the downside, parking can be problematic. They have a $5 valet lot in the back and neighborhood parking is permitted for the 2 blocks, but if you're willing to take a little stroll, we parked on Cloverdale 2 blocks south of Wilshire on a nice neighborhood street for free. Go Lakers!
