I am going to an arena football game tonight.

[Left Is Write]

I can't decide if I'm going to love it, or if I'm going to want to skip out early and head to The Front Door for a Belgian brew and a pizza.

1. I'd go for the beer and pizza

but that's just me. :hi:

2. We have to go to the game....

Mr. LIW is hosting some brokers and clients in the company suite.

[billyskank]

3. Ah well, duty calls.

:pals:

5. Tough call - the company suite implies free food and drinks,

but on the other hand you probably have to be a bit moderate in front of the clients. As for the game, I'd guess it's going to be both cool and boring. When I watch AFL on TV I findthe first few minutes to be extremely exciting, but then I find myself thinking "wait, how long are they going to keep doing this?"

6. Yes - company sponsored food and drinks.

Some of the clients will be people I haven't met yet, so yes, decorum will be necessary. :)

8. Just make sure that Mr. LIW knows that he owes you a real night out in return

My wife has finally convinced me that 'Faculty Party' <> 'Date' - I'm sure business events are in the same category...

11. Sometimes. Some of the business nights I have to socialize pleasantly

with people I don't know or don't know well and have little in common with.

Other times, we'll be with business associates we are also friends with, and that's more fun.

4. sounds fun. Let us know how it is. I just found out there is a team near where I live

7. I will! A lot of locals are pretty excited about the team.

9. i'd go, when i used to work for the May co. they had a suite at the Boston garden

and i used to get tickets about 5 times a year to see the Bruins and sometimes the Celtics--good times.

10. I used to have season tickets to see the Storm

years ago. It was a family thing that we did. All the home games and two ArenaBowls. I actually enjoyed it, and I'm not a sports watcher. There's more action and it's much more brutal. It's like rollerderby meets football.
