hamster, lampshade: the logo
    I'm going to Smackdown, March 6th at the MCI Center in Washington, DC. It'll be one of the shows leading up to Wrestlemania, so I'm counting on it being something special. Props to Joe Joraskie, hardcore Ebay ticket-selling guy, for hooking Kelly, myself, and two of our friends up.

    Foley is God. Or at least that's what they say. Point is, when I heard West Chester University was playing host to "An Evening With Mick `Mankind' Foley", I bit. I wanted to see the hardcore legend up close.

     So we get there --
late -- but that's another story and not really one worth telling. Actually, we were only about ten minutes late, and he had just begun speaking. (The first words I heard as I was entering the auditorium were "... right here, in West Chester!" [Insert cheap pop.]) We sit down and settle in to an hour and half worth of Mick's political views, shilling for his autobiography, (Hey, he's gotta make a living!), and Al Snow stories (The abuse that's been heaped upon him by everyone from Bob Holly to Mankind himself is unreal [Smile]. If you've read Mick's book, you know what I'm talking about.) He caps the night off with a story involving a wrestling singlet, a jock-less Al Snow, and a hanging vertical suplex (Among other things...) Funny, funny stuff.. Good show, Mick.
    That's Kelly, of "The Girl With The Kaleidoscope Eyes" and "Kelbomania" fame, posing with the former 3-time WWF champion. I snapped the picture. Mick was very kind and stuck around to sign autographs in the lobby afterwards. Kelly used her feminine mystique to lure Mick into posing for a photo. (Plus, my cry of "Smile, Mick!" was helpful as well.) One of his eyes is closed in this picture. He must've been tired. Or giving me a little "wink wink."
