This Fire fkn sh** up. I'm Lucky. Close enough to get all the Heavy Ash. But no impact thus far. But still, devastating to many lives and communities. Guys telling me, they didn't even have house paid off, but house is burnt to a crisp. Didn't even get the clothes out the house. Just devastating.

Hughes fire near Castaic is absolutely ripping in the wind... 10k acres in 5 hours.

Smoke is heading my way and filling the valley with ash and garbage air.

I haven't been on RealGM in a long time. I was just a a kid when FI signed up way back in '05. How's everyone doing if you've been here around the same time or longer?
What's the state of the board?

What ever happened to Trixx does anyone remember that person? He used to make the best sigs. I also recall names such as Santa, Tycobb, Snaquille oatmeal? Danny Darko, Slava, many more I recognize too many to list. Pretty cool you all are still here!

Hello All, I just joined. I'm a long-time Laker fan, going back to the 80's Lakers, I live in OC.

I love this Davis-4-Luka trade! Luka was my favorite Non-Laker in the entire NBA and I had often dreamed of him becoming a Laker one day..

Cheers!

PS: I also am a Mod on three websites and would volunteer to Mod here if needed and after you get to know me..

This Team will forever capture the Big names to lead this franchise in the future. This signing has re-ignited our fan base. And I for one am ready to go back to the Top again

I have never been to the staples/crypto for a laker game before (prior games I've been to were at the forum or a staples clippers game back in 2004)

Game starts at 730p Thursday nite
We are driving from oc

Should we get there an hour early? I heard that parking is difficult and can take a long time once you're there? (I have paid parking already on my ticket master email hopefully all I do is show them that?)

Thanks

Going to the game tonite. Kinda nervous as this is my first time at the Staples center in a long while (last time I went there was 2003), my nephew is going to drive in by himself, and I will meet him at the front gate I guess.
I hope traffic and entering parking isnt a huge mess.
Had to download an app and everything in order for my tickets to be valid when I go there. Things have changed not really on top of all this technological advances I hope I dont stop getting phone signal when Im there ..

how'd it go?

It went well for the nite :) It was fun, however of course the game sucked.

1) getting the ticketmaster app on the phone and using that to manage my tickets and parking was really easy. Makes the whole thing a breeze.
also, just call the crypto arena if you have any questions. they have a customer service number and they pick up promptly and are so helpful over the phone for ANY questions you have. They are really cool on the phone.

2) driving there from OC was bad of course, but from the freeway to the parking lot is not bad at all. It is a bit confusing at first, and not everything is labeled visibly, but I just stopped next to a worker and asked and he helped direct me where i had to go. (we came early, but if we arrived nearer to game time, i may have not been able to do this)
We parked in the main parking lot W for $40, but from the looks of it, if youre fine with walking 5 mins to the outside parking lots nearby you can save about half that. I'll do that next time.

3) we sat in the way back sec 330, the seats are really narrow. not enough elbow room. But we had no one sit next to us (they came for 1st quarter and both parties left in 2nd and never returned). Decent seats though i believe anywhere in the stadium there's no bad seat in the house unless you dont have good eyesight. Everyone working there is really cool and nice and informative. They run things realy well there, even though upon first sight it is overwhelming because everything looks complicated and confusing.

4) everything to eat is too expensive. bottle of water 8 bux. hamburger 20 bux. hot dog $10, coke $10 etc.

yeah I like the nosebleed seats for hockey and have also had very good seats there, but last time we saw a kings playoff game I think our Jamison tab came out to $240 :o
