Western Conference Finals Game 3.

Last night Julie and I went to Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals at the United Center.  The Blackhawks won 3-2 in Overtime to take a 3-0 lead in the series.  This game was much closer than the two in San Jose but once again the discrepancy in penalties was unreal.  I think the Sharks were on 6 Power Plays and maybe the Hawks had 1.  Either way the Hawks managed to pull out a home win and are one game away from the Stanley Cup Final.

Side Note:
* If you check the photograph above closely the two guys in jerseys on the glass farthest to the left are Kevin James and Vince Vaughn. During the Kiss Cam Vaughn slipped some tongue to James.

White Sox and Rain at the Cell.

Last night I headed to U.S. Cellular Field for some rain and baseball. The White Sox ended up losing 6-5 to the Angels in a steady drizzle. We watched about 2 innings from our seats and then headed for the Bullpen Bar. Which by the way keeps serving alcohol throughout the entire game. No stopping in the 7th inning. I guess they get away with this by not allowing you to leave with a beer after the 7th inning. The South Side has a good thing going.

Chicago Theater: Conan O'Brien.

Last night Julie and I went to the Chicago Theater for Conan O’Brien’s Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour.  The show was basically a variety show/concert with altered skits as not to infringe on NBC’s Intellectual property.  For example the Masturbating Bear was now the Masturbating Panda Bear.   By far the funniest skit was the Walker Texas Ranger Lever, I laughed so hard I literarily almost choked . The band was great and inflatable bat from Meat Loaf’s ‘Bat Out of Hell Tour’ was hilarious.
