Snowventure

I had long-standing plans with Chris Rangel yesterday to go see Brett Favre and the Jets play the last home game of the season vs. the Seahawks. As it turns out, the weather made the plan a bit more complicated.

Originally, I was going to meet Chris at his place and then we were going to catch the train from Everett down to the stadium. Unfortunately, not only did my car not get out of my driveway, I couldn't get it back in to the garage it was so stuck!

I called Chris and we decided to go to our nearest park-n-rides and take the bus down to Seattle. So I walked about a mile downhill, in the snow, to the Lynnwood park-n-ride and got myself downtown.

My buddy Jason was tailgating in the 22 degree cold, so naturally I went over to join him. Here's a shot of the tailgaters:



and here is Jason & I around the barbecue:



Soon after, I headed in to the game and Chris showed up shortly thereafter. It was a fun game, pretty cool to actually see a game in the snow, which did not let up the entire time:



Here's a shot of our bundled-up selves:



This was also Mike Holmgren's last game as coach of the Hawks, so he did a lap around the stadium to thank the fans:



After the game, we headed to the bus stop, where not shockingly, it was still crazy snowing:



Our bus was over an hour late and standing-room-only, but it got us back so no complaints. Then I had to walk up the hill back to my place, which I still won't complain about, but I can't say that I was a fan of that part of the day... :)
