it was back in ol' 72
As soon as 2pm comes and goes tomorrow, I am free: see, there's an eensy gauntlet of double exams that morning, and as soon as it's all over? I'm planning to blow it all off afterward on the invitation with a couple folks to go watch big guys beat eachother up, on ice skates in Detroit.

They also call it hockey, but only in Canada. It's really just boxing on ice... (I'm kidding -->It's better than boxing on ice. ;P It isn't that, really though..)

I haven't even paid serious attention to anything major sports-related for about ten years now though, honestly? I mean, I play, so with the icefest I'm bound to check in on that in the news periodically (or in the event of the Tigers actually not sucking nearly winning last year, them too), so apparently this should be interesting.

If I don't come back from the den where 20,000 shout, stomp, and clamor in unison, somewhere near the Detroit river is likely where my mugged body'll be found. =p

But I think it'll be a-ok

Nicely Nicely, Johnson. In case you haven't been following along, I'm nearly done with my Master's Thesis!

Perhaps the two of us can celebrate by strapping on ice skates and beating the shit out of each other.

I didn't know you could even skate, let alone read and write--it's amazing how far you've come! =p

p.s. - I'd merely make you look a fool without even forming a fist. And what is your paper on?

I can't skate, actually.

I'm adapting the novel The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut for the stage. I figure that if anything's gonna get me a job, it'll be that.

I'd normally google it up like I did with the Guys and Dolls ref, but I totally don't know what that one's about.

Do you mean the thesis, or the master's that comes after it? =p

Note to self: Don's body near Detroit river. Gotcha.
It is good to hear from you. Enjoy the game.

;) I appreciate the rescue plan, even if it'd be a little late. The thought always counts though.

It wasn't bad... they picked it up late in the third, but the sucky thing was listening to half the arena boo like.. sheep or cattle whenever a certain former Wing player was on the ice, it's so mindless. It's also strange to see thousands of people walk out of an arena spent with a night of leisure, and then them all walking past some of the Detroit homeless gathered and hoping for hand-outs before midnight.
