ok i HAVE to tell this story, although all 3 of you probably won't understand it's importance.
so it's been established that kelsey works at the Athletic Ticket Office... i hate that they never tell me what to do and that i have to struggle through figuring everything out on my own, but all in all it's getting better and better. i love talking to customers (we reseated Kinnick so right now all of our season ticket holders call in and have to request new seats, but they have to make like $600 a year "donations" to get the good seats... it's nuts) and i like the people i work with for the most part, and it's just great to be a part of the hawkeye fam.
plus i get in to all events free when i work at them.
so this is particularly handy since (a) i don't want to pay $95 for student season tickets since i can never be there when the game starts and (b) it gets me into a lot of sold out games. an example would be, say, tonight's final home game against wisconsin, where my hawkeyes were trying to go undefeated at home for the first time since the 60's.
soooo anyways, since it's sold out and i don't have a seat, the ticket office will give me one of those complimentary tickets they keep 'just in case.' so i get my ticket, i work a little longer, and then i'm allowed to head into the game. i look at my ticket.... section AA... ok that's the press area... row 1.... ok i think the row numbers start from the court on back... hmmm...
so i walk down and down and down and yes folks. i am row 1. jeff horner (i.e. hottest man in iowa city) is literally 5-10 feet from me. i mean i'm catching sweat here, people. karly-- think about your pistons game. now think about being right behind the bench in a college game instead. oh my god. again, no one understands because no one else goes here... but these are celebrities, and i am in the thick of it all. it was beautiful. so of course, i whip out the camera phone and take enough photos to last a lifetime, then call the parents, who in turn call the g-parents, all to LOOK FOR KELSEY. well my parents later informed me that they were glued to the TV the whole time, then at the end--- THERE'S KELSEY, CASUALLY SITTING BEHIND STEVE ALFORD, TAKING PICS WITH HER CAMERA PHONE. (steve alford is our coach... think the tom izzo of iowa. except hated by everyone, even iowans.) so my crafty mother got it all recorded on DVD, which i will be selling for 10 bucks to people under the title "see kelsey behind coach alford on national television." hahahah ok i understand you don't care, but tonight was one of the best nights of my life. and it was a GREAT GAME that was so intense, and we kicked badger ass and went undefeated at carver-hawkeye arena, then it was senior night and all the seniors spoke including jeff, and oh god it was great. and i saw it all, from the freaking sweat on their faces to the blinking of their eyes.
ok i'm done now. but yay. hahahah YAY WHOOOOO
i effing love iowa. |
