On Wednesday night this week, I got to see my first Chicago Bulls game in person since MJ was on the team. And that's not Michael Jackson. But seriously, it was freakin' amazing. We played, and then beat the Pistons (raspberry to you Eric). We had various domestic and imported beers. We ate Chicago style dogs and a $15 pretzel. We hypothesized the ethnicity and sexuality of our mascot Benny the Bull. It was damn fun.
I was with my future in-laws, and I just had a hell of a time. And unlike the Big House, I wasn't asking Eric to explain the technicals to me. Hell, I just had a spledid time.
But the part that made my night? The part that brought a tear to this eye, that once watched his Airness slam dunk six champions? The entrance music has changed much at all:
It makes me go bananas every time I watch it. I used to love the entrance more than anything. Same went to wrestling. Yes, I used to love pro wrestling. But I guess it's the remix of The Allan Parsons Project's "Eye in the Sky," that's just so... Bulls to me. I loved it.
So in conclusion. I love Chicago. Still. And always.

And hey! The Bulls won!
ReplyDeleteI wanna see a game there someday...Pistons games are incredibly boring.
