1. An Aussie Rules Football Grand Final game....
Hell, even any actual Aussie Rules Football game...I just wouldn't want to fly
the dozen plus hours it takes to get to Australia.

Hoping for an exhibition game here in the US sometime soon.

3. Opening night of the 1961 production of Genet's "The Blacks"
The original cast featured James Earl Jones, Roscoe Lee Browne, Louis Gossett, Jr., Cicely Tyson, Godfrey Cambridge, Maya Angelou, and Charles Gordone. That's a lot of talent in one tiny room.
The production was the longest running Off-Broadway non-musical of the decade. Originally premiered in Paris in 1959, this 1961 New York production ran for 1,408 performances.

10. Stanley Cup Game 7.
I've been to Game 2 or 3, and Game 5 or 6 (at The Pond, and I don't even like the Ducks) and it's frickin insane!

Game 7 at Staples, rooting for my beloved Kings, would be the absolute best.

Supper with Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash. Pork chops, turnip greens, fried potatoes, fresh tomatoes, green onions and cornbread from my own kitchen. Iced tea with the meal, Irish whiskey and weed from County Cork thereafter.

14. I was gonna try to top it
but no matter how hard I thunk, everything failed to compare.

And I don't even like turnip greens. But I'd sure eat 'em with Johnny Cash.

13. Word Series game 5, last year.
Edited on Fri Oct-14-11 12:15 PM by LeftyMom
I was going to go to game six. Who knew they'd win it in five?

I did go to the victory parade though. That was awesome.

edit: In the future? I wanna see the Sharks win the Cup at the Tank. .
