    Well, here is my story:

    Eager with anticipation, I track the SPurs' charter plane on flight Aware.com and counted down the minutes to their arrival. I timed it so I can get off work, walk across the street to the Hyatt.

    Incredibly, I arrived just in time for the Spurs bus to pull into the hotel (around 5:15 PST). I was eager to meet the great ones from Duncan to Oberto when things went sour. There were a bunch of anti-Schwarzengger protesters out in force at the hotel at the same time so security was beefed up. I went toward the bus when a security man told me I was tresspassing. I said to him that I am not with these protesters and wish to get some autographs and say to our mighty Spurs. I got angry when he said that no autographs were allowed!! Those jerks kept me back a long distance and I was none too pleased.

    There was a silver lining though. I got interviewed by Mr. Sears (?) of KSAT and Don Harris. I was so excited that I stumbled at my lines regarding how the SPurs will sweep the Kings. So folks, you might catch me on KSAT or WOAI tonight or tomorrow!! I will put up a few pictures later that I managed to take before they went inside. So until then---WE ARE SPURTACUS!!!

    P.S. Where were all you SActo SPurs fans? I was the ONLY one there with a GO Spurs GO sign.

    Don't take this the wrong way but if I were on the Spurs I wouldn't trust people coming up to me in Sac town. I am sure they just would reather be left alone I used to work at a 4-seasons in a major city and we had tons of teams in and we would sneek them in and out threw the back door. They are so bothered all the time by fans they just want to be left alone at times.

    Indeed they did. The flight time was just over 3 hours from SAT to SMF.

    What sucks about Sacramento, along with the other things,

    their airport, is Literally, prob 8 miles from downtown.

    Their arena is that far from it. But they are both out in the middle of nowhere.


    your driving along flat land, then all of a sudden, POOF, heres Arco, drive farther along I think its 80, and POOF theres an airport.


    Im biased, I do business all month of August and part of September, and I cant stand the place when Im there.

    So I cant say anything about Sac objectively..
