The Nasty Nesters

I think Bo Emerson's article on the "Nasty Nesters" is amazing. You can see these guys at every game. I've even stood near "The Heat Miser" once when I was taking picture during the warm ups. It's a suggested read, by all means. This is my favorite quote:

The Nest would like to see the noise spill down into the club level and the high-dollar seats. "You don't get as much of it down below, in what we call the tea-and-crumpet seats," said Hicks, a commercial photographer from Stone Mountain. "There are people down there, sometimes I think they think they're sitting in their Baracalounger at the house."

It's really true. SPOILED ALERT!!! My dad works for CNN and we get club seats, yada yada yada, and I've never sat farther than a 200 section, but only once or twice. I acutally liked it. There is such a thing as being TOO close to the ice, i.e. The Tampa Bay Game, I was sitting in section 120, and during shoot out, I thought we always made a goal. I was standing too (But I'm only 5'6")!!

I agree with the Nastynesters. Some people (Not me, if you see me at the game, I've got the short brown hair with bangs. If I'm not wearing my GIANT white signed Jersey, I'm wearing a Blueland shirt that reads "Unleash The Fury". Descriptive right?) just sit there like Hockey is golf or tennis or...something, that you're quite at! It's not, HOCKEY DOESN'T = TENNIS OR GOLF. Can you believe at a game my dad and I were screaming because of a bad call (I mean, COME ON REF!!) and some women sitting in front of us turned around and just gave us the look of death. My boyfriend, who is not a huge hockey fan (I know, I know. I'm working on him...) even said "What the hell? IT'S A HOCKEY GAME."

Let me tell you something, if there is one thing that I enjoy about going to a Thrashers Game, it's yelling out foul langauge with my Dad. Okay, so I'm 19, but my dad has never said anything about me dropping the F-bomb. I actually make him laugh...in a bad way. You don't know unless you've sat near me, but I have some REALLY bad calls. I just scream whatever comes to mind, and I don't have the fliter, so I end up screaming things like "Go back to Ref school and learn how to make good calls because you suck!" I'm ashamed of that one too. Don't worry, you can tell me I suck. Go on, I know it. Flame away.
