Andrew pulled off a first in sports travel and attendance.

We are in Minnesota for a wedding and given the fact that he is a groomsman, his schedule is fully booked by the bride. This is quite unfortunate since we can see the Target Center from our hotel.  This was made worse by the fact that we were only two blocks away from the stadium during the pre-nuptial dinner.

Not to be deterred, Andrew had a plan. He could sneak out of the dinner and make it to the WBNA game (Minnesota Lynx) at the half.  In order to make sure this worked, he had to buy a ticket in advance. He waited for the most opportune moment-right before the lengthy speeches-and excused himself to the “bathroom.” An hour later, he was back at the table in time for dessert and coffee.

No one was any the wiser about his half time tryst at the WNBA game, and I didn’t mind taking one for the team especially since a formal gown at a WNBA game might look a little out of place.  Regardless, let this be a lesson to you. Where there’s a will, there’s a way- even if there is a bride between you and your favorite game.
