Lost in MSG...

So unlike many of you I did not grow up in the city and consequently do not have as intimate a knowledge of Madison Square Garden as I would like. That being said I am lucky to have wonderful friends with season tickets (for whom I would gladly buy 2 $7 beers for a ticket) and was fortunate enough to go to 13 of the Knicks home games last season. It was on this particularly unlucky 13th visit that I realized how much I still had to learn about MSG. I'm not going to say I was sober, but at halftime I came out of a blackout (so I guess I was definitely not sober) in a tiny staircase with no apparent doors. After going up a flight I saw no exit and decided down was my only move. So down I climbed, with no exit doors anywhere, until I finally busted out of a small door right onto 34th st. Needless to say it locked instantly and I was stuck outside.

Respectfully requesting a floor layout/blueprint of the building from anyone who might be able to help...

well it's gonna be a whole new struggle for you this year, with us moving to new seats. maybe we'll give you a little pre-game emergency exit introduction, on how to not get locked out of the garden.

That reminds me of Sean Connery in Finding Forrester when he freaks out and ends up huddling in the corner...HAHA!


Found my collection of old basketball cards yesterday, thought I would share some shots from the most honerable knicks teams of the 90s.

Supposedly this is the dancer Isiah / MSG paid to flirt with Referees. Who knows if this is true (it came out after this whole harassment case, and right now any money hungry female garden employee is planning a case against MSG...but i wouldn't doubt it.). Good job Isiah.
Stephon Marbury recently opened up a custom car company, called Star-Motoring, featuring a Phantolade. Actually looks kinda dope.

This guy is supposed to lead the Knicks to a NBA title?
