So I met my first USCHO poster, and it was one of the Original Six* Smokin' Hot Chicks!
I met wolverineTrumpet and her band of Michigan fanatics at the Sullivan Arena here in Anchorage last Friday & Saturday, and it was a party. I remember Saturday better than Friday (the beer's fault, not mine), but we sat with a Michigan cheering section lustily led by wT yelling:
"Stick it in there!"
"You know they want it!"
I couldn't have been more smitten! The cowbell cheer is also a favorite. And wT: the kid sitting on the other side of Trey kept interrupting us saying: 'That Michigan girl is cute!' I told him to back off (which was doing you a favor, for two reasons: you already have a boyfriend, and because after working with the the kid all week I think he might be a serial-killer.)
Sadly, I have to depart this enchanted city on Saturday, without having seen snow. We did climb Mount Alyeska on Monday, and the views were spectacular. Now, some might say I polluted the clear mountain air when I lit my cigar, but I say I perfected the near-perfect moment.
All in all, I vote Anchorage as the city I most want to live in someday.
wT: It was great to meet you! Let's do that again some day!
* Technically, there were only five original Smokin' Hots, but Original Six Smokin' Hot Chicks just has such a great ring to it.
