Trying out Garden Bars (ie Celtics v Magic)

We didn’t feel like shelling out the extra cash to scalp Magic tickets.  But, we wanted to still watch the game with other fans near the Garden.  So we decided to branch out from our favorite, Boston Beerworks, and give some other Garden local favorites a try.  We know that The Fours has historically been a favorite.  We went, we tried, it was really, really lame.  The food was barely adequate.  No one was paying the slightest attention to the game.  It is mostly empty.  We decided to leave before the second quarter.  We had meant to move on to the Grand Canal, another local great place that we had wanted to try for awhile, but we had to walk past Beekworks to get there.  The draw was too great.  The TVs, the fans, the great food and smells wafting out, the brews!  We couldn’t pass it up.  Maybe next time we’ll head over to try out the “new” place straight from the T so it doesn’t require passing our favorite place to get there.

So, Beerkworks? Awesome.

Celtics?  Not so much.

Another Friday night Home loss (78-83)!  The C’s are killing us!  That is three Friday night home losses in a row!

Celtics v. Hawks

We missed our first home game of the season Wednesday, but are going strong with a 5 of 6 home game attendance record!

Unfortunately, we also have the poor fortune of seeing what is their second loss (97-86) of the season so far.   The C‘s are now 8-2 and we have been in the Garden for both of their losses.  We are going to start tracking our Win Attendance Percentage…  of 5 games, we’ve we’re 3 and 2.  Still above .500 so far.

Also, FYI, Ray Allen hates Diabetes.  We got some posters and info about it.  He is a good man.

Celtics v. Suns

Home Game 4.  We are 4/4 for attendance.

Loss 1:   110-103.

Our Celtics are now 6 and 1. Undefeated was better, but this isn’t too bad at all!

It was hard to watch in parts, but the Garden crowd went CRAZY – staying in the game with the team.

No pics from tonight’s game. Instead some pictures from Beerworks after the game, toasting our team.

Celtics v. Hornets

97-87. The Celtics are 4 and 0!  And we are 3 for 3 for home game attendance!  We’re going to try to attend as many Friday night home games as we can from here on out.   We are checking out all the different sections and seating possibilities, in hopes of getting season tickets next year.  It’s been interesting to note the different personalities that congregate in different sections.

And the FanFoto guy got us early in the night tonight.  We were still pretty cute!  But they are $$$.  😉 So, I will just link to it.  http://www.printroom.com/ViewGalleryPhoto.asp?evgroupid=0&userid=celtics&gallery_id=1826194&image_id=12&pos=13

Our Home Game 3 view:

So Rajon got a little fired up, and seemed to let CP3 into his head – but it all worked out through the end of the fourth quarter – until the final handshakes, I suppose.  Rondo is feisty!  Some may not appreciate it, but it’s fun to watch – especially when we win.

Celtics v. Bulls

We won!  Again!  We’re 3-0!

118-90.

Our seats were A-MAZ-ING.  Thank you again, Charles & Lauren!

We are absolutely loving our Week of Celtics as the season begins.  We are spoiled with getting to go to the first three home games of the season.  We are getting spoiled with the wins.  We are getting spoiled with Rondo’s assists, KG’s intact knees, Ray & his points, Perk taking Shaq, Sheed raining 3’s, the bench rounding out the team and stepping up, and Paul captain-ing this whole crazy good train – and getting to see this all from the Garden.  We are loving it.

And, one more QikVideo just to show how great the seats were… the iPhone camera still can’t catch the Jumbotron doing bright green lights in the dark, but look how big it is when you are sitting at half-court!
