Go Rockets!

Late Sunday afternoon, Ryan got a call from the sales guy that supplies the dumpsters to his jobsites. His company has a suite at the Toyota Center and was offering us tickets to Game 4 of the Playoffs. We were out at the new house but quickly jumped in the car and headed home to get changed into our Rockets Red.

Here are some shots from the game (click to make larger).

A little bit of the action
And of course the food in the suite! This was just the dessert.

Now, I will do a little name dropping. Sometime in the first half, I looked up to see a very familiar face. I knew he was a Texan... it was Chester Pitts. He was with his teammate, Duane Brown and they hung out in our suite the entire game. A little later, Eric Winston came in with who I assume was his wife. Then, another guy that I cannot name. They were all huge!

Then, sometime after halftime, Ryan looks at me and says "Sam Cassell" is in the suite. I didn't believe him until I stood up and saw him. I did my best paparrazi but it wasn't great.

Me with Chester Pitts and Duane Brown. Go Texans!
And, the final score... 89-88, Rockets win. Up 3-1 now. Go Rockets!
