Logan ballin' in Lawrence

My good friend and brother Logan came to Lawrence this weekend. I have been looking forward to and preparing for this for some time.

I searched high and low (take this figuratively) for a ticket for him for the basketball game against CU and barely found one. It was a VIP game meaning that tons of alumni were there making ticket locating difficult. I then hunted done a student ticket, which slightly easier than getting a GA ticket, but still a feat. I got into a camping group to make sure that we could get into the game. They oversell the fieldhouse and then people, usually students, get left in the cold (literally this time). So I got into a camping group and camped (sat in the fieldhouse saving our groups place in line) for 3 and 1/2 hours. It was all worth it!

I called Logan at 9:50am Saturday morning to see if he was getting close. He freaked me out by acting like I had woke him up and said that he was still at home in bed. He pulled into the Jayhawker Towers moments after this "hilarious" conversation. We went directly to the fieldhouse to wait in line. I was the lucky one who only had to stand outside for 20 min. Logan had to wait about an hour. But his really fantastic sister had saved him a seat in Section 1 row 4. Sweet seats.

Once inside the warm and crowded fieldhouse, I did some anatomy homework and Logan soaked in the KU awesomeness. After about an hour and half of waiting, a few ballers such Brad Witherspoon and Jeremy Case grace the court. Logan was excited to see them "shoot some hoops" while we waited for rest to enter. The final phase of preparation was making a newspaper cone to place our newspaper confetti inside. Now we are ready for some bball.

The anthem was played, the confetti was thrown, Russell Robinson from NEW YORK NEW YORK was welcomed to the court, we saw a good game.

During half time, the 1988 National Championship team was recognized. It was pretty emotional. I think Logan cried...just kidding.

After my sweet Mario and Brandon and even Tyrell had won the game, Logan and I sat in traffic. Logan might have been more impressed by the traffic than the game. After driving 2 miles in 30ish min, Logan and I ate at Papa Keno's. Best pizza ever!

We spent the rest of the day doing random sibling bonding activities. You know, talking about relationships, making fun of each other, laughing about our parents, watching the allstar NBA challenge-all i know is that the cupcake dunk should have gotten more recognition, am i right?

Logan and I were going to eat at Jade Garden for lunch on Sunday. It was "closed" however the sign said open and we walked right in...so we went to Chili's in honor of our dad.

Logan left Lawrence. It was a good time.

Then I got my hair cut. I sat down and explained the sitch (abbrev for situation) to Ken. His exact words to me were, "Oh girl, we have got to sass it up." And that is what we did. Love it.
