Mullets!
The Atlanta Thrashers do a "Mullet Night" every year. Kind of funny to see everyone in the stands wearing fake mullets.

NHL All-Star Game
NHL All-Star Game: the main event.
Warm-ups.
Me and Sue.
Me and my brother paying careful attention.
Sucky band that failed to get the crowd hyped up.
Singing of the national anthems.
Action down at our end. We had a good view right along the goal line and got to see several goals scored by both sides.
Honoring Willie O'Ree (first black ice hockey player in the NHL, 50th anniversary of his breaking the color barrier).
Sucky intermission show. No-name R&B/hip-hop dude Ne-Yo performed for which I'm sure that 96% of the crowd could care less about. I actually like hip-hop, but this was still pretty sucky.
Sue playing her Lemonade Tycoon game during the intermission. Probably a lot better than Ne-Yo.
Final post-game hand shake line.
Overall, still a fun event and I'm glad we got to go!

NHL All-Star Skillz Competition
Brunch at Pho Bac...
Pearl-Milk Tea.
Pho and Bahn Mi.
That evening it was off to the Skills competition part of the All-Star weekend.
Skaters warming up.
Zambonis resurfacing the ice; all of the teams' logos.
My brother mocking my Thrashers jersey.
Me and Sue.
Grand entrace of players.
Ovechkin taking a slap shot.
Left over dessert later that night (picked up at a Vietnamese market). Basil seed, coconut meat, and some unknown flavoring. It was ok, but not good enough to get again.

Hockey Tailgating
My ice hockey team has some great cookouts. It's not unusual for us to have double grills going at once.
Pasi on grill number one with plenty of makara. He's even got a pan to fry up some peppers and onions for the sausages.
Wally on grill number two. The rig is a little funny because the pop-up stand on the grill broke, so it now sits on a portable work bench.
