The Worst Kind of Fan

The worst kind of fan is one who wields their season pass status as an indication that they are better than you. The worst kind of fan is one who talks disparagingly about their own home team the whole game saying things like "they've got no killer instinct--they suck" or "oh come on, I've got more balls than they do!" or "they're going to lose right here--I guarantee it" over and over and over. The worst kind of fan is one who would rather have an unobstructed view of the game for the two seconds it takes you to get to your seat right as the game starts than to exercise some human decency. The worst kind of fan sat behind me and my friends at the Sharks game today.

But we managed to have fun (and even sometimes lean forward in our seats juuusttt the slightest bit without getting yelled at) regardless. 

Lost in the South Bay

Scene 1: wandering around a dark cul-de-sac with MB in Palo Alto while carrying a big cake. MB is asking shadowy figures that materialize from the darkness where to find 18 Brooks Place (not real location, obv). K tries calling W, J, L, and KS. Finally, MB picks up.

K: Hello? Hey where are you guys?
MZ: Third apartment on the left when you turn in.
K: What... [looks around at the very nice houses]
MZ: Hold on, I'll run out and look for you guys..... okay I don't see you.
K: It's 18 Brooks place... Palo Alto right?
MZ: No, it's Menlo Park.
K: Oh, we're in Palo Alto

Scene 2: MB and K get back into MB's car and start driving over to Menlo Park meanwhile joking that at least they didn't end up in East Palo Alto or somewhere potentially sketchier than the upscale neighborhood that was Brooks pl., PA. Halfway there K gets a call from W.

W: Hey, sorry I didn't pick up, I was driving.
K: No problem, we were just lost but we figured it out already
W: Oh okay good, yeah we're a bit far we're walking around 300something Brooks Street. What's the address again?
K: It's 18 Brooks Place. We actually accidentally thought it was Palo Alto.
W: Oh that's funny
K: No one told us it was actually in Menlo Park!
W: ...... Wait. We're in Mountain View.

Eventually we all arrived an hour after we were supposed to. But it was a fun night sans getting lost. Happy Bday L!
