"Annie" (1982) - Tomorrow (via serbianhuddle)
Can you believe it? The season is almost here! Tomorrow night the NHL season kicks off as the heroic Leafs (cheer) battle the dirty Habs (booo) at the ACC. If you have tickets, I don't want to know about it. In fact, if you tell me I'll probably slash your tires in a fit of jealously. I've got a spot on my couch already picked out and will have my butt firmly affixed to it.
But what if you haven't a couch upon which to watch the game. Well answer me these questions: Do you like the Leafs? Do you like beer? Do you want a chance to meet some of your fellow PPPers? Then tomorrow night drag yourself away from you computer and show up to one of the PPP Meetups going on for opening night. Toronto locals, head over to the Loose Moose. Ottawa locals, we are so sorry you have to live in that city. So why not rink away your pain with fellow Leafs lovers? Good times are bound to be had.
For now though, we have no hockey or bars filled with rabid fans and gallons of booze. These next 36 some odd hours are going to be torture. Anybody got some extra Nyquil around I can use to "fast-forward" through the day?
