Since all work and no play makes you feel less than gay, and since the Great Texas Balloon Race was cancelled this year, we decided to take our crew over to the shithole city of Shreveport to watch an arena football game last weekend. We have a private booth with a Tiger River Caspian set up with 6 season tickets for our customers. Since none of us have ever been to the game, we went over to check it out.
The boss swung by the store and picked me up in the motor home. Stefan, Ronnie, Kim, Mary Beth, and me enjoyed some loverly beer and caviar on the way to the game:
CenturyTel Arena played host to the festivities:
Our booth is inside the Arena Club, which is nice because you don't have to share bathrooms with the riffraff:
Mary Beth played hostess since we were in her territory:
The seats were in the end zone. We had to kick some kids out that won tickets on the radio as a charity promotion:
Since Mary Beth was new, she didn't realize the necessity of proper hygiene when it's spa related:
Stefan, being from Africa, was not afraid of the giant Watusi Bird:
Also, being in charge of our warehouse, his neatness gene kicks in whenever confronted with the opportunity:
One of my customers is the Segway rep for the area. He brings the ball out on the field in between quarters and puts on a scooter show for the heatherns:
Front row seats are pretty dang nice:
Stefan, being from Africa and illegal, is always looking to make a quick buck (like he was from Nigeria or something). He was scalping mayonnaise packets in the parking lot, made a buck fitty:
We had 11:00 reservations at Jack Binion's Steakhouse at the Horseshoe Casino. I got the 38 oz cowboy cut ribeye w/ taragon butter and garlic cooked medium rare:
Stefan had the same:
Ronnie had the same whilst the boss had the little girly man 20 oz ribeye. Ronnie and I split some portabello mushrooms and wilted spinach salad with raspberry vinagerette:
We all then had creme brulee for dessert. Finished dinner at about 2 am.
The drive back to Texas was a long one:
All the children slept in the back:
