I went and kicked it at the three on three today (dam i wish you people werent so anal rententive on grammer) and it brought back huge memories.. you see  the first time i saw the rose quarter it was a huge whole in the ground.. i was a aprintice carpenter and i worked for a company called isec that did earthquake proofing of arena  and stadiums. around the country.. because of the union .I was able to work for 4 different companies on the project and the last thing i did before i left the premises 2 years later was crazy glue gerome kersey's name plate on his locker.. ive been places in that joint that the average fan will never see..  my name is on a plac along with about 200 other names out side the ticket office.. I always rub it and remember that this is the house that clyde built..now with that said.... this is Portland..why wouldn't you buy a luxury suite.. its yours for all games all events..all venues its yours.... now on the flip side...why would you get one in L A... how does that work... If i'm a clipper and the Lakers are playing ..who gets the box..what if beyonce or prince comes to town or the globetrotters...what about the playoffs.. and the lakes and clips meet in round two... who's box is it ... ..those suites are sweet..t.v in the bathroom couch bar and patio that seats twelve    ,,, ive sat on the toilet in every suite...true talk... ..what a lot of people don't realize is that the garden is a hockey venue first..hoop second..why i don't know but its a hockey arena... that floor is always sitting on a sheet of ice.. mr allen has an "apartment" up in the bowels of the arena that basiclly runs half the length of the buildindg... there are 4 dressing rooms...the blazers have their own there is a nba /nhl visitor room and two  others for the peons who may creep in (college and high school)
 the blazers locker room (from memeory and what little clips I see on T.V..hasn't changed..there creme with a lil red and black about 60"wide with a safe on top..why i dont know.....theres an armed guard that stand there for games and who in the hell is going to sneak under all that survelliance..if the co founder of micro soft gets had there is no hope for society yall.. and i hope travis is not trying to steal laundry money from brandon..   ..when i saw travis today as I was looking at my name on the wall all i could think was he looks human   he acts human.. but he was in the right place at,, the right time , he's a lucky man  and he's too naive to see it
