    Already planning on it. I would like to do a road game so I can fly on the plane with you, lol.

    I call a road game. I'll schedule work around it so I can expense the air for work.

    We know you're a spy for another forum. You already told us you were leaving.

    These behind the scenes workings of the grand machine always fascinate me. Never really think about all the hard work and people involved in bringing our entertainment experience to us, but I do enjoy learning more about it. Just out of curiosity HCP, when you're on the road between these games, clearly you have a lot of travel going on and you have to be there substantially early to games, and I'm guessing you're there a little late for tear down and what not, how in the world do you find time to be so involved in these forums? I'm guessing you don't get much sleep? I hate flying, I hate packing up stuff to fly, unpacking in the hotel, doing anything work related after flying, before flying, etc. I always feel exhausted from travel, I think I'd be sleeping ever spare minute I had.

    People don't realize how much travel takes a toll......and I'm not even playing. I tell people that on here and they blow me off, like whatever. It took awhile to get used to the travel, but now it's just second nature.

    We show up to the arenas at noon (for a 7 o'clock game) on game days. As far as having time to spend on here, it's kind of a release. I love basketball and reading peoples opinion about it. Love this place.

    Hell, I'm surprised you're up right now, given the day you had with a call of 6 am for the game, the travel, etc.

    I get it. I've done months at a time of bus/plane travel, moving gear, having to be ready to work on less than quality sleep. It's tough.
