Update:  The Stars got boned by the refs on a bad call and consequently lost the game.  It was still a blast and nothing beats actually being at the game.  If you have the means, I highly recommend going.  Bonus, I got to see Modano in the penalty box.

Tonight we all celebrate the new year.  We close out 2009 and give a big hello to 2010.

As a wonderful start to the new year, bright and early tomorrow (not too early) Gina and  I will head to Dallas.  "What for?" you might ask.  As a Christmas present, Gina got me two tickets to go see the Dallas Stars.

So, Saturday while the rest of you are watching the game on your little TVs, we'll be live at American Airlines arena screaming our heads off as the Stars put the whoop ass down on the Canucks (I have "a box of Canadian beer" riding on it).

Needless to say I'm excited.  I can still hardly believe I'm going.  I've said for at least 10 years that I've wanted to go to a game and never have done it.  Well, now I'm going.  Woot!

Not only that, I get to go in my new replica Modano jersey.  Y'know, the kind with the real embroidered patches and everything (pic included).

Hopefully we're going to get some pictures and more importantly the Stars win (however, if they lose I already see it as an excuse to go again ).
