It was NOT wasted on me.

So boo-hoo because the L.A. Sparks lost the game tonight, but yay for the section we were in because we were the winning section for the night & got a free autograph session with the entire team. Woot!

I didn't have any Sparks memorabilia with me (ok so the only Sparks thing I have is a black tank top... not good for autographs and some of those loud inflatable clapper thingys... who knows where those are), so I had them sign this instead:

Yes, that's right, it's one of the three parking ticket envelopes that I had with me in my purse. Everyone else was getting their program, jerseys, balls er, basketballs, etc. signed. I got my parking ticket signed.

Heh.

I wanted to have something unique and the players were saying things like, "This is a first," and "I've never been asked to sign one of these before," and "Oh yeah, living in L.A., I've gotten a few of these things myself." And a lot of the players were laughing... I'm going to believe they were laughing with me and not at me. They may have thought I was a freak, but I guarantee that they will remember it (if not me).

Oh, and some dude (with the Sparks?) was videotaping the autograph session and started interviewing me about my parking tickets. I'll probably see myself in some documentary about crazy people, but that's ok. It'll just be a feature in a future Joz International Film Festival.

Oh yeah, the interview ended because the dude asked me on camera who I had sign my parking ticket to that point... I looked down at my ticket and was like, "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." (I had no idea. I felt like a such a tool.)

I personally know a bunch of crazy Sparks fans who will basically jump me for "wasting" my autograph session on a parking ticket, but I don't care.

It makes me happy that the Sparks signed my parking ticket envelope.

And now I'm sharing it with you...
