My Experience at the MCI Center when Seatle Storm pulled out the upset against Washington Mystics.

Oh My God!!! I had an awesome day at the MCI Center! Sue Bird in Action Against Washington
First of all, the Storm won! Woo Hooo!!! They managed to pull out the upset. It was worth while for me to drive down from Massachusetts! I was a little worried to show up there by myself. I had storm stuffs ready in my bag: Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson Photos, Storm banner, cap and cameras. My seat was great! Too great that the mascot guy sat next to me and joked around by taking my cap away from me. I had a good laugh.

Seattle was trailing for most of the first half, but did not allow Washington to run away with their leads. I got so
nervous to look up and see what the score was.
The crowds were loud, and I was sitting there biting
my nails, praying that it would be Storm's night. Holdsclaw was so good, but not good enough! I can't believe she just came back from an injury. Sue Bird did not dissapoint me at all. She was so good!!!

Lauren too!!! I assume that Asjha Jones is taking Sue Bird out to Dinner for the win!

I tried to get autographs after the game, but no luck on LJ as she passed me by and gave autographs to others instead. Sucks! That's okay.. I still love you, Lauren! But Sue made my day!!! I met another fan and we waited patiently for Storm players to come back out. Finally, Kate Starbird (we got hers), Simone Edwards, Michelle Marciniak , Kate Paye, Adia Barnes and Sue Bird came back out. They were on the so called "restricted area", where the VIPs and others with guest passes were. We were not allowed to get near there, but we encouraged ourselves to move closer and we held a big sign "Sue Bird, Autograph Please!??" I guess she saw the sign and called us over. The usher was ready to kick our ass outta there, but Sue gave us a Okay, so we got her autograph! How cool was that!???

She looked great as usual! Too bad I lost words!!! I didn't know what to say. I've always been that way with big stars (Tennis too). They seemed to find my mute button easily. Well, it was a great experience anyway. My first time meeting WNBA Stars! Hopefully I will have more opportunities like this in the future; seeing great games and favorite stars. Congrats on the Win, Storm! Good luck at Detroit!
