Thanks to a special promotion by Bridgestone Arena, the Lunchbox Buddies were able to head downtown to see our Nashville Predators take on the New York Islanders ("sucks!"). It was a special night for us because the tickets were FREE! through a promotion we heard about at work. And you know us... we're always up for a free treat!
While the action on the ice was thoroughly entertaining, it was even more fun to watch and listen to Sarah's reactions to these events. Her surprise when the first punches were thrown less than two minutes into the first period was priceless. Yes, Sarah, they fight. And yes, it's okay.
I am so glad that Sarah was willing to body check her fear of heights to sit with me waaaaaaay up in the top level (they were free seats, afterall). There were only a couple of dicey moments, primarily when Sarah realized that she would have to stop white knuckling the seat in front of her to rise at the singing of the national anthem. I feel confident it felt like the longest demonstration of patriotism she's experienced in quite some time.
The Preds made it happen, defeating the Islanders ("sucks!") 2 to 0. It was a cool way to spend a Sunday night and get to experience something new together. Keep your eyes and ears open for free events around town that you and your buds can enjoy!
