Dinner was great ... I walked dgolds back to his hotel (good thing too since he wanted to head the wrong way based on some faulty information he got somewhere) and made sure that auh2o had made it back there safely (he had).

Walked back to the Grand Hyatt (this hotel was not as bad as I thought it would be after the horror stories I'd read here ...) and collapsed into bed ... woke up around 9:00 and called auh2o, he told me he'd get up and get ready and to call back in an hour ... called back in an hour and he had fallen back to sleep ... told him to hurry his ... up ...

He gets to the Hyatt and we hop a cab to MSG to try and score some tickets for the big Knicks/Lakers game ... we arrived about half way through the first quarter, and there were plenty of tickets to be had on the street ... we scored a couple of nice tickets about 15 rows up between the corner and behind the back board for $200/each. The game was very good, though the Lakers pulled away in the end (we were hoping for overtime to really get our money's worth).

After the game we hopped a cab back to the Hyatt, had a light lunch, then walked across the street to the bus for JFK for auh2o and I walked around the block for the bus to EWR.

The flight back was uneventful.
