Gas Monkey Beat Down

I had to travel to Dallas this week for work. Our dinner was scheduled coincidentally at Gas Monkey Bar and Grill on the night of the big race between Gas Monkey Garage and Street Outlaws Oklahoma.

Not surprisingly after the beat down widely publicized on the internet, only two of the multiple TV's both inside and outside had aired the episode of Gas Monkey Garage. Even those two TV's had the volume turned off, I guess it would be bad for business.

We did have a great evening there with very good food. I wanted to buy a tee shirt in their gift shop but wasn't willing to pay $30.00 for a 100% cotton non-brand tee shirt.

Hockey?

This week I got a chance to take one of our customers hockey game at the United Center.

I've been to some of the minor league games recently but no major league games in the last 20 years. My company has a suite at the United Center that takes all of five minutes to get into from the parking lot.

The Blackhawks played the Dallas Stars. I forgot just how large professional ice is compared to the rinks the minors play on.

At times with all the lighting and sound system it looked and felt like being at a rock concert. The lighting on the ice was very impressive.

The Blackhawks won in overtime, it was a very enjoyable evening doing something I wouldn't normally do.
