Harvard Roll Call (2/15)

[Adam \'04]

Talk to my brother.:-D

[Ben Doyle 03]

yes, email me. . .:-D

[Adam \'01]

Definitely come.  You'll get in, just be creative.

Hell, I'm willing to bet if you offered $20 to a kid in a Harvard shirt approaching the rink, he/she would gladly hand over a ticket.

Count another 3 in for the Brown / Harvard combo.
Does anyone know what the pahking is like near Meehan?

From the travel guide:


Parking is usually plentiful and free. The easiest and most convenient place to park is in Brown University Lot 2, the large parking area that serves the Athletic Complex. On rare occasions, particularly when basketball games or other events are also taking place, hockey fans will find Lot 2 filled. If you're brave, you can find a spot along the nearby streets, including Hope, Cushing, Bowen, Lloyd, and Brook. If you're smart, proceed east on Lloyd Avenue from the intersection with Hope and Brook, behind Meehan and the Pizzitola Center to Lot 90, a large parking area that is still convenient to Meehan and almost never full. Finding Lot 90 can be somewhat tricky, since access is through an essentially unmarked opening in the fence that surrounds the AC. If you reach Arlington Ave, you've gone too far. If you park in Lot 90, you can follow the sidewalk between the Olney-Margioles Athletic Center and the Central Heating Plant and proceed up the stairs to Lot 2 and, eventually, Meehan Auditorium.

Warning:  This might not work.  According to the guy at the Harvard ticket office, if you have a student ticket you need to show a student ID.  If this is correct, the student would need to hand over his/her ticket and ID, which might cost more than $20.

 I' ve always   been able to park in the lot by the main entrance if I arrive 90 min.  before  faceoff.   Short walk to "downtown" for a libation or three in the interim.  Coming from NH  and surviving  a few hours at Mohegan
in the afternoon should make for a hair- raising   V-day.

ARE YOU FOR REAL???  So there are going to be 2 empty would-be Cornell fan filled seats behind me?  I mean...I don't mean to pour salt in your wounds...but that is just...

!#^$!%^@%^#!$&#&!!!!  ::nut::

Please fill us in on the heartwrenching moments after this realization was made...  How many other peoples tickets were incinerated on your behalf?  How did you explain it to them?  How did they react?  If they are still talking to you, you have some very good friends...  (Yeah...there are MANY more important things in life...but...oy!)

For some reason, I tend to think of the most random things when I'm stressed and driving...so you can imagine my shock and frustration when the scene unfolded in my mind and I tried to convince myself that it was a figment of my imagination due to too much work and being tired while I battled with the traffic trying to get onto 395 into DC (for those of you familiar with that fun and exciting time around here!)...and I thought I was going to die, not from the traffic and the drivers around here (I can rant about that too), but from being killed by Melissa. Forget going to yoga (where I was originally heading)...I went straight home to check on the tickets and then I was going to go start drinking...
I only had two tickets in my possession...

Don't worry, I think the current plan is that we're going to go one way or another. I just got my Brown tickets.

[Adam \'01]

Judy, this just occured to me.  If you paid for your tickets with a credit card, there should be a record of the purchase.  You'll have it on your credit card statement and the ticket office will have it on their purchasing records.  See if there is a way for them to issue new tickets if you present a photo ID and the purchasing credit card at the harvard box office.

It's worth a shot, but you have no way to prove you actually destroyed the tickets. Don't think they're willing to give out new tickets when you might have not really "lost" them. But you never know. They are not the brightest over there. ;-)

For the record tho - I was not upset. These things happen.
Worse case scenerio - I'd end up listening to the game over the net while in my own home, sleep in my own bed (and get more than 5-6 hrs!!!) , get done all the cleaning I've been meaning to do AND be able to watch Hockey Day in Canada on Center Ice ... all while saving some cash on food, gas, etc.
Of course - if we are able to secure Harvard tix I'll be there with bells on ... maybe literally.

If you show up with bells on, literally, I'll...  well, nothing, really, but I'll think it's really funny.  :-D
