San Jose Sharks Fan Appreciation 4/11/14

Hello.  I'm exhausted.  I'm watching the Sharks game and just trying to stay awake and I'm not going to make it to the end of the third period I fear. But I thought it was a good opportunity to post my pics from the fan appreciation portion of the last game of last season.

I have to apologize for the quality of the photos.  1) I just learned how to make my photos higher resolution when editing (sad, I know) and 2) if I remember correctly, my camera was not happy at that game.  Not sure why because it usually does okay in the Shark Tank.

I find Brodie Brazil a little annoying, but I love Sharkie.  Too bad the tshirt cannon wasn't pointing the other way.  (I kid!) 

Fun fact about Justin Braun:  His wife (now...then GF) was in the top four (I think) on Gordon Ramsey's Masterchef.  

As Captain, Jumbo addresses the fans.

(insert bad Jeremy Roenick joke here)

The next three are the guys with the fans who won their jersey.  

Two guys who I've loved for awhile.  Sadly, last season saw their huge talents diminished considerably.  Hopefully a new team and a renewed energy will rejuvenate their careers.

Man these pictures are terrible.  haha I apologize to anyone who's stuck with it this far. 

Who's wearing a kilt???

Of all the players, Patrick Marleau stays out there the longest throwing tshirts.  He has quite an arm too!  I saw him get at least one into the upper deck from the ice level.  

 Just look at that form. 

Nothing better than Tomas Hertl's smile!  Is dream!

 Burr and Daddy

 Brauny putting his all into it!  He has pretty good form too!

Wingels throwing the splitter.

Moar Patty!

And we'll finish off with Captain America. #LongHairDontCare 

I recommend any Sharks fan try to attend the last home game each season.  It's fun and really nice to see the guys interact with the fans.  

Till next time.

Blood Clots and Black Holes - Happily Giving Blood @SJSharks Blood Drive 2/1/14

Some mood music...

Hi again!  I'm always behind the eight ball.  But who the fuck cares, right?  Well, sometimes I do.  Sometimes.

Anyhoo...had an amazingly fun weekend last weekend so wanted to share before TOO much time goes by.  

I've been looking forward to this weekend since September when I bought my San Jose Sharks vs. Chicago Blackhawks tickets.  And then I heard the Sharks were having a blood drive the morning of the game RIGHT when I was due to give blood!  It's a bloody miracle!  

Public Service Announcement:  Don't google image search "bloody miracle" unless you want to see some truly disturbing things.

Alrighty then...  

The second best thing about donating blood at the Sharks drive (the first being that you're saving lives...duh) is you get in to see the morning skate.

So we originally planned on leaving Sacramento at 7:30 to get there by 10:30.  Of course that didn't happen.  It was too hard to get out of bed on a Saturday morning.  So we left at 8:30 and consequently missed most of morning skate.  Adrienne told me it was more than likely an optional skate anyway.  Turns out it wasn't, but it's okay. 

But we did get to see the tail end and a few players:

Last Home Game - Part 2 - Moar Pics!

Holy hell, the Sharks just beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 in game 3.  AMAZEBALLS!!  I am soooooo excited because I am going to game 4!  That's right.  Adrienne's wonderful friend Kyle gave her two tickets for the game for her birthday.  And then he couldn't go.  So Mama benefits!  Happy mother's day to me. :-)

This is Adrienne....

And this is me...

Last Home Game of the Season! Boo-Ya! 4/23/13 Part I

Boo=We played the Dallas Stars

Ya= We Won!!!

Boo-Ya! I got a new camera!  It was my birthday, yo.  So I'm so very happy to have many, many, many decent pictures.  Probably too many. But who the hell cares?  

So without further adieu, here is our trip to San Jose for the last home game of this abbreviated season.  

We got a much later start than intended.  We both were off most of the day and hoped to actually hang around the Bay Area but we did manage to make to our favorite cupcakery before the game, Kara's on Santana Row.

I got my usual, the SUPER delicious Fleur de Sel which is a caramel-filled chocolate cupcake with chocolate ganache frosting with fleur de sel (naturally!). Adrienne got the carrot cake which is what it says it is...with cream cheese frosting.
