During one of the TV timeouts. You can see part of Brad Stevens's head.

My seat was behind the Butler bench, and I was so freaking close to the court that my view was sometimes blocked by Brad and the team. I'm not complaining. Oh, and Zach Hahn sat next to me.

During the 2nd half. Did I mention that I had an excellent seat?

During the game Blue II makes "rounds" around the fieldhouse. He usually greets the people who paid big $$$ for court-side seats and says hello to a few kiddies. He stopped by the student section during the game and just happened to pause (paws?) right in front of me. Yay for my fabulous 3rd row seat.

Taken before the announcement of the starting line ups for the Butler-Indiana State basketball game.

Peter was out of town for this game, and the game was sold out, so I took his ticket to scalper to make a few bucks. The scalper wanted both my tickets, and offered a trade for a "similar" seat for my ticket. Then I found out that the "similar" seat was behind the basket and refused his deal. My stubborn refusal to give up my own seat paired with his desperate need for two tickets together resulted in me trading the two upper-level seats for one third-row seat and $10.

I'd like to thank the man asking for two tickets together who was standing behind me while I was negotiating with the scalper for my excellent seat.

With the creepy person-in-an-animal-suit mascot, Hink.
The guy on the far left is Blue II and Blue III's human dad, and the little boy is Blue II's baby brother. (And I guess Blue III's big brother.)

Blue I and Blue II are actually related, but Blue III is not.
