Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 5247648, member: 181"] In a quarter century of Boneyarding, I've only met a handful of posters I'm pretty sure it was Pat who offered 2 tickets to the 2000 BET Finals in a random post on the Board, and it was as easy as replying, "I'd love to go" or some such. It didn't seem real. I convinced my girlfriend to travel with me from Long Island, and we showed up at a bar on 32nd St, where some other long timers directed me to Pat, who made the happy hand-off, and quite graciously sized up that I was with someone who wasn't all too interested in being in a bar. The easy exit was the second most memorable thing of the night. Most memorable? I was very excited as we walked up the steps to the arena and the pep band was playing. My gf then said, "Hey, I'm from Queens. I'm gonna root for St. John's," like that was an option. What the actual ? This was the "last time SJU won the Big East championship" that was being talked about 3 weeks ago during the BET. Yuck (and sorry). And yes, [USER=571]@Dove[/USER] , it was at La Boca where I met you and [USER=1047]@August_West[/USER] was playing live, and you thought [USER=93]@8893[/USER] might have been in the crowd, but never saw him. Who else? Pizza with [USER=746]@Huskybass[/USER] at my Milford storage space while I was moving to Kentucky 16 months ago, and [USER=787]@huskyhaven[/USER], somehow connected by mutual friends in Westport once. But Pat started it. RIP. [/QUOTE]
