Humblebrag
So yesterday I walked into a bar near campus and saw a friend of mine who now lives in Chicago that was in town for business. He says “Just the person I wanted to see.” and I, quite obviously, replied with a quizzical expression that said “huh? me?” and he says “You’re the biggest Leafs fan I know, and I have Blackhawks season tickets. They’re in town on the 29th of February and I want you to come. You interested?”
Of course I’m interested, in fact—it’s probably the best news I had gotten all week. The only problem is that I have an insanely hectic travel schedule during February and on the 29th I’m flying out to spend 8 days in Phoenix w/ my college roomate where we’re going to see the Coyotes and Suns play and then hit up a bunch of spring training baseball games.
A part of me died when I told him I couldn’t make it. But a few hours later I realized “When I have to turn down free NHL tickets because I’m going to be spending 8 days with close friends doing a ton of fun stuff…that’s a seriously good place to be in.”
But you can guarantee I’ll be watching Leafs/Hawks on the 29th…I hope it’s not a good game.
