<!-- TOKEN_1237483140431_TOKEN -->I'm going to be the Season Ticket Holder of the Game tonight and never thought it would be so meaningful unless I look back at it all.

Baron Davis returns. St. Paddy's day. HOWEVER, Stephen Jackson out. Biedrins out. Maybe another starter out. Belinelli out.

Everything is AGAINST my favor of the Warriors winning tonight and me going home with a signed, autographed basketball from the player of the game.

STILL, I'm there tonight to represent GSoM and hope that I'll be able to give a shout-out to the site when I'm introduced by Franco Finn sometime in the 2nd quarter.

To me, this honor is something I never expected this early being a fan, but it's probably the best thing that can happen to a Warriors fan (from an official, recorded standpoint).I mean - I've only been a season ticket holder for 2 years. There's countless others out there who deserve it more than me; I'm talking about the 30 year-season-ticket-holder vets who pay money to numerous bad teams and NEVER give up. This is a salute to all of you.

Anyway, quite a few of you have definitely stopped by seats and said HI. I really appreciate those hello's - people who hear me from other sections (Since I consider myself the LOUDEST Warrior fan in the arena). Definitely stop by and say hi tonight. I might not be as loud as other games (My voice has been LOST for the last 5 days because of the recent Warrior games, etc.), but I'll still try my best to cheer as loudly as I can without passing out.

Maybe we could get a crowd standing behind me and repping GSoM during the segment. Either way, I'm proud to call myself a Warrior fan this day and couldn't thank the Golden State Warriors (Ticket Office NOT Front Office) more from this privilege.

Section 208, Row DS, Seats 15-16

 UPDATED: 2:30 AM - March 18th

Hey everybody. I got an update for ya. Everything went well. Franco was very nice and we even chatted how BAD the decision to make Little Caesar's the main pizza distributor for the Warriors from now on.

Anyway, he said that my STH of the Night presentation was probably "one of the best ones." Mostly due to the crazy dancing that went behind my area (front row - Sect. 208).

To see the HD videos of the entire evening, head to my YouTube page at:

It includes footage of Baron's introduction, Baron during the game (I sit courtside), and the actual crazy Season Ticket Holder of the Game moment.

Now, what's in the prize pack I won besides the AUTOGRAPHED BALL I received from the player of the game?

- $50/100 Best Buy Gift Card (not sure the amount but it's at least $50)

- Custom Golden State Warriors Keychains/Pins (All the Warriors team logos are featured - pretty awesome)

- Official Warriors Practice Basketball Shorts

- Official Warriors Season Ticket Holder of the Game T-Shirt

- Geek Squad T-Shirt

- Official Golden State Warriors Picture Frame (medium size - not digital)

- Official 2008-2009 Golden State Warriors Yearbook

- Official Golden State Warriors 08-09 Keychain/Miltary Tag

all in a Best Buy - Tote Backpack

Not bad... especially if you include the autographed ball, PICTURE of you and the Player of the Game (sent to you PERSONALLY by your Ticket Executive Agent, for me it was the fabulous Jen Goldman) AND being featured on the Warriors.com website as Season Ticket Holder of the Game.

Any other questions guys?
