The Blind Truth

Dude, did I just rip somebody's title? That looks so familiar...

Anyway, I do admit that sometimes (in a very long loooooong time), I like to exaggerate a little (very, very little). It occurs to me that I may have kind of made out like I'm the only black person in Pepsi Center during Avalanche games. (You know, like in my blog title, maybe, just maybe.) I'm not. There's the guy hawking the Cracker Jack, 2 ladies serving alcohol off a cart in the hallway, the guy emptying the trash in the bathroom (or washroom, if that's the way you swing), and Jarome Iginla if the Avs are playing the Calgary Flames. OK, I'm doing it again. Sorry.

Honestly, there seems to be about as many black people at the game as at a rock concert. Black people are like white people and like good music, regardless of its or their own origins. It's the same with hockey. So I don't get stared at, but it's a definite minority. I saw more black people than Asians (and I think that couple were tourist), but more Latinos than black people. But whatever, I also saw more girls/ladies next door than sluts. So who knows how to process all this statistical data.

But I do know one thing. Scalpers are black. Goddamn, they are in the majority there! I was waiting for the jackass I went to Home Game 1 with last week to show up (815p, the 'tard) so I was walking up the block to try to find him. You know it, I think it's Chopper Cir. I got to the corner and these guys asked me "need a ticket". I was just like "nah, I got mine already, thanks!" Three guys all stopped shouting "Colorado Avalanche" at passing cars to gawk at me. I was like "Ooookay, I'm going back to the center now..."

That is the blind truth. I know I must have stolen that title!
