Everything’s bigger in Dallas — NBA All-Star Game 2010

Here are pictures from the actual game at Cowboy Stadium! Please note that it was FREEZING in Dallas. I’m thinking it was probably around 30 degrees. We planned on going on this trip and bought tix about 6 months ago, but then tiff and I didn’t plan the ACTUAL trip very well. Next All-star game we are definitely going to Jam Session earlier, getting tickets to the rookie-sophomore game, and hopefully getting better seats in the arena.

Overall though, definitely a worthwhile trip with good company! Lucky for me Tiff travels a lot so she had a lot of hotel points so we got a free stay at Embassy Suites

Parking in the stadium parking lot was $50 for pre-paid passes and almost double if you showed up the day of, but we were lucky enough to find nearby parking for $20 that wasn’t even that far of a walk!

On our way to the game I dropped my contact in the car and could not find it for a good 15 minutes. I was super panicked –what could be worse than going to a game and NOT being able to see it —but luckily after searching every little crevice, we found my little hard contact wedged semi-under the plastic guard by the bottom of the door. Tiff helped lift it up while I snatched the contact and it felt like someone had lifted 40 Texas Longhorns off my shoulders.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Next post will have all the other fun stuff we did in Texas

This one's for you Laura! - Carmelo Anthony. Funny that his finace is named LaLa too!!

Can I just say before I post some more pictures that the West team would probably have been wayy more exciting if B.Roy, Kobe and CP3 weren’t injured.

GAME TIME! TIP!

Of course, Diddy was there.

Oh, remember how I said it was like a triple concert? Shakira performed at the half.
