The Cab Ride

Turns out this guy was going to the hawks’ game w/ one of his buddies too. Earlier Melissa had half jokingly suggested we find someone to split a cab w/ so when this guy offered we decided it would be an easy way to save about $10 and after I saw their tickets were in another realm from our own $8 seats, it seemed harmless as well, making an instant separation at the Center quite easy. It was. But not before I thought the two guys were going to “play” wrestle each other through the Plexiglas divider. Melissa and I convinced them that they missed Celine Dion sing our National Anthem and apparently this sent them into a fit of rage while trying to determine which one of them caused the tardiness to the game. When the cab ride was finally over-which seemed to take days-Melissa and I ran to the ticket window. People in line informed us that all tickets were sold out except $25 ones. After debating if this was a reasonable price, and after considering buying some from a scalper for $15 we decided to scratch the whole game and get some dinner. While walking to the bus we saw the “scalper” talking to another man in an unmarked cop car. Turns out he was undercover. Thank goodness the guys in line planted the idea that the tickets might be fake otherwise I think I really would’ve convinced Melissa we should make the purchase. I wonder how the night would’ve turned out then.
