we're off to see the sixers, the wonderful sixers play ball

So once we finally came home from vacation we went to see the Philadelphia 76ers come to town to take on the Los Angeles Clippers.

It was a good game, the sixers won.  I think these very strange metal pieces of "art" that can be found just outside the south-east entrance to the Staples Center are meant to represent the tears of the Clippers because they are perpetually losing.

Losing or not, if I had to choose an LA basket ball team to represent it would definitely be the Clippers, because it would be WAY better than the alternative.

what happens in Vegas goes on the internet

The soundclash was the main event, but it's not like we'd go all the way to Vegas and only go to a concert

 

even if Elvis did show up!

We checked out some of what Sin City had to offer such as the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (fancy), which was pretty cool. Andrea even got the opportunity to check out the inside of a huge shoe!

We also stopped by the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens.

We made the mistake of going to eat fast food Filipino/Chinese food... blech, never again.

On the plus side the market that was attached to the little gastronomical nightmare had some gigantic pomelos that would be great to get a picture with:

It was all fine and nice, and then it came time to comeback home... yeah, never leaving Sunday morning ever again!  I think we were parked on the highway for at least an hour and rarely were going over 20 until we left Nevada.

What could be more fun than seeing Cee Lo Green?

How about The Ting Tings?

What about seeing them play together, literally?

Yes, that would be OK.  It would probably have to be one of those red bull soundclash shows. 

I might enjoy that, but it would be really cool if they play some songs by the Clash.

The only thing that would make that better would be if the tickets were only $15.

I guess we could go with somebody.

That would be fun!

Maybe someday...
