    Steal this face? The headline looks like speed vs. experience. Feeling confident? Bet you an over-priced beer at Soldier Field the Hawks prevail. Either way it's going to be great entertainment. Fever is running high here. Chicagoans love their Hawks. Sweaters, Ts, Caps everywhere. It's a great time of the year. Ticket prices for the finals at the United Center make FTW look like a bargain.

    If the security checkpoints are anything like the NFL (at least in Buffalo), it will be very difficult getting any cameras in that exceed specs...a good quality lens on a cell phone is another story. Have a good day, grab some coffee for the road....king

    Some hometown NHL action. So will the Bolts steal the face off Chicago? Jumped in for the presale Cup tickets over the weekend and had sticker shock. I'd need to see the Stones open the game for the price of those tickets.

    Steve - Rich nailed it...I wouldn't risk them snatching your GoPro. Bet the bank you'll walk through a metal detector and if it were me, I'd just use the video capabilities of your iPhone - it shoots in amazing HD. Kyle - your 2nd cup chance in 10 years. There are cities that wait a lifetime. No better live sport, bro, so if you get a chance, I'd get your but in the building - amazing fun !!! I don't have a dog in this fight but I have to admit...the Blackhawk's home sweater is the best in the business :-)

    I sure they wont let me have one but I wanted to make sure. Can we take a go pro into the concerts ? It says no video . no camera with longer than 6 inches , again your safe totem ,. they also say no item will be saved which is taken from us. I really wanted to film the crowd , and the party but of course also do not want to have to rush to hotel to get rid of items . What are your ideas?

Hey, buddy, since I haven't seen you in a while just wanted to let you know that I saw the Rox-Giants game on Friday at Coors Field. I love watching those two teams play! And now I find out that the Rox will be in SF for the SC shows. Bliss! Maybe we can put together a SD outing at AT&T.

Not sure if this has been covered before in this thread, but there is a bike share in Chicago called Divvy. It looks like it is a good form of cheap, healthy transport if you are in the downtown area. $7 for a 24-hour pass (unlimited 30 minute rides) with a ton of stations. http://www.divvybikes.com/

That song is and will forever be timeless......unfortunately/fortunately. We must thank John Barlow, Bob Weir and Grateful Dead for this unending lyrical reminder of the past, the present and the future.

MYTH: For those who may not know, The Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox announced yesterday they will be playing an afternoon game at Camden Yards that is closed to the public due to civil unrest. FACT: What has not been reported is the Orioles announced Phish would be performing at the game and everyone just turned their tickets back in. now you know, my foil hat friends. Happy Wednesday

My boy - word is ALL OVER your Brownies offering two #1's to Tenn !!! YOU WANT MARCUS !!! Problem might be those even lower J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets who sit at #6 and could trump you guys. Dude, we were there a couple of years ago when your Browns opened the season against my Eagles. Spent nearly the entire Saturday before at the R&R HOF and the Dead special, entire top floor exhibit there - OMG !!! Anyways, we hung out at lake Erie, saw the dead rats floating in the river as we tailgated, kicked ass in corn hole and flip-cup in the parking lot, and loved your town's game-day experience - TOUCHÉ !!! BTW, Birds kicked ass :-) FLY EAGLES FLY !!

We havn't sunken into the ocean yet... I'm a tri-coastal gal, having grown up in Hawaii and Boston - back and forth all of the years until I planted my flag in California and British Columbia, depending on the time... It's a beautiful day today, and we are here, organizing a screening to raise money for the Nepal Earthquake-affected. My cousin and baby cousin survived it, near the epicenter. They are coming home to NoCal for a little respite before deciding on next move. I am some yarn in that net. Headache has gone so now to prepare for my daily trip to the mines. Also I got my t-shirt(s). 443!! Maybe I WILL have a spot more of joe before I go...

Speaking of stealies, I saw a new SYF sticker today with a picture of Lake Tahoe. Either that or it was a brain that melted into a blue puddle. Either way, as they say here in the Reno/Tahoe area, Keep Tobias Blue.

Browns .... NO TRADE. Too many other needs to mortgage the future on mariota. He will be a very good QB I'm sure but he can't play D nor catch the ball. RnR HOF is very cool. I have not been there in a few years...long drive from Texas. Browns game day experience IS a blast. Imagine how cool it will be when they start winning (Insert joke about hell freezing over). I remember that game. Watched it a sports bar here in DFW. P***ed me off when Bs dropped INT in late Q4 then Eagles scored. Another example of the Browns almost always almost win.

One Watch by Day A changeable morning here in St Pete. A little bit of sky, a little bit of clouds, a splatter of rain drops here and there, a west wind blowing. I hope Spring has Sprung for the all of we Sunshine Daydreamers. Summer is coming up fast, so it's high time to put on a Let it Grow and listen to the music play. 59 days to Santa Clara 65 days to Chicago We have cracked the 50's seal. P.S.

Having grown up in NYC and watching the Jets, then living in Buffalo for 36 years and bleeding red white and blue....I have hated many teams, none as much as the Pats..with that said....I wish The hoodie was our coach and Brady our QB....Road king you have one hell of a franchise up there and while watching the Super bowl in Maui with Seahawk fans I was in awe of your teams victory.... Congrats and glad you are one of us! Can't wait for fall!

I recall, many moons ago, the Boston Patriots, and man did they suck!!! Growing up in Buffalo with a father that hailed from Boston we would go to the home games, and for the longest time the patsies were woeful. Their time will come. Go Bills.
