One of my friends was in town, and he had an extra ticket to the St. Louis Blues Hockey Game tonight. Normally, I do not go to hockey, but I did receive a suggestion that this night would be a good one. And not just because the fights are sponsored by beer companies.


No, this night was special because of who was in attendance:





Closer, you ask?

That's right! It's Sarah Palin and some of her family.

And here she is in the luxury boxes on the other side of the rink from where I sat (she's in white)


Bummer is, my wife gave our old camera to her sister today, replaced it with a new and improved one, and told me about all of this five minutes before my friend showed up to drive me to the game.

As for Palin, I had the camera on "video/audio record mode" to capture the reaction. Holy shit! The first few seconds had boos, but a thunderous round of cheers broke out for her. Unfortunately, the "Memory Full"display came up and dropped the video. ARRRGGGGHHHH!!! The wife only put in the factory issue memory card, not the other one she bought but forgot to install. But, I recovered to get a few shots of the Palin Crew.

I know the photos aren't that good, but the seats were higher up than expected, and I am getting used to a new camera. But I was incredibly and pleasantly amazed at the warm reception she received, given the thuggish nature of most Blues fans in this town.

Meanwhile, back to "Old Time Hockey"
