Go Suns!

I took Uncle Peter to see the Phoenix Suns game versus the Cavs on Sunday. It was a great game! The arena was pretty packed (unlike the Nets arena, haha), and the fans were really into it, except for a bunch of teenagers sitting in the row behind us who were cheering for the Cavs. We won, and because we scored at least 99 points, we each got 2 free tacos from Jack in the Box and a large fries from McDonald's. What a great marketing idea! They know we'd feel bad about just walking in with coupons and walking out with 2 free tacos, and that we'd most likely end up spending more money there. And they are right, the 2 free tacos are 99 cents, and my uncle bought a combo meal (which is like $5) and I bought an order of curly fries (which were $2). These marketing people know how to run a business. The Suns arena is awesome, we walked right out of the building after the game and there was no people traffic and no cars traffic, what a difference compared with NYC/NJ! The architects knew what they were doing when they designed the arena. It was a great night to watch the game, they were honoring the founder of the Suns, and Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle, Kevin Johnson were all there for the halftime ceremony. I used to love the Suns when they were playing, I cannot believe how long ago that was, wow. I'm really dating myself here, haha!

Across the street from the arena, isn't the sunset gorgeous?
