Welcome to the Shark Tank

A bunch of us Actel interns, plus one Altera intern, went to watch a San Jose Sharks game last night at the hp pavilion. Sharks vs. Flyers. The game was quite entertaining, but lost enthusiasm near the end. San Jose won the game blowout style 6-1. That was the score by the end of second period, so the third was kind of uneventful. Nevertheless, seeing 7 goals scored was "niiiiiiiiiice", as Borat puts it. Interestingly enough, none of the big names got in on any of the action. Forsberg, Gagne, Thornton, Cheechoo, they were all really quite throughout the game.

The really cool part of the night was 1) everyone in the audience scoring free pizza from Round Table for the Sharks scoring 4 or more goals. 2)For one of those audience participation contests that goes on during the game, our section got picked to compete against another in a dance off contest. Basically, whichever section dances the best wins the prize. Thanks to some hip old dude who really tear it up, out entire section won $10 gift certificates to Dave&Buster's. He was sitting close to me, just one row behind. Now, what you're suppose to do, is grab one ticket and pass the rest on, but everyone was taking 2 or more. The stash even came back to me by the end. So in total I earned $40 worth of Dave&Buster's fun. All this for a $25 ticket, not too shabby.
