SCSilk: I see.
SCSilk: You'd hve to get a masters and probably a PhD to be able to do any work in that field.
SCSilk: I'm just surprised that you have time to chat online.  It's almost bed time.  I always spent Sundays doing homework.  Especially in the fall when I was in Marching Band.

SCSilk: I graduated from USC with a degree in Electrical Engineering.  I've worked as an engineer for NASA for over 22 years, doing spacecraft development, test, launch and operations.
prettyboystcox: Let's just say you got married to a pro ball player. Would that life work out for you knowing he travel a lot?
SCSilk: I wouldn't marry a pro ball player.  There aren't any my age.
SCSilk: Ther's no reason for me to marry someone half my age who is used to women throwing themselves at them, either.
prettyboystcox: there u go with the age thing again
SCSilk: We're in two different worlds.
SCSilk: Think about it.  I'm your mother's generation.
SCSilk: A completely different world.
prettyboystcox: you think that.
SCSilk: I have nothing in common with a pro athelete
SCSilk: I wouldn't even have his babies.
SCSilk: The man can have sex with any woman he wants.  There is no reason for him to choose me for marriage.
prettyboystcox: i want to have a mature women who isnt after me for where im about to go and become
SCSilk: Well, best of luck with that.
SCSilk: Because the minute she does something ot piss you off, you'll just have sex with some other woman to get back at her.
SCSilk: And that' ain't cool.
prettyboystcox: why are you judging me
SCSilk: Everyone judges everyone
SCSilk: You judged me to be mature, tha's why you asked the question.
prettyboystcox: I've never cheated
SCSilk: I am not online to look for a husband.  I"m online for inteligent, intersting conversations.

SCSilk: I see you don't like to answer my questions.  That's bad.
SCSilk: You want me to date you, yet you don't like it when I ask you questions.
SCSilk: That is what engineers do.  We ask questions.
prettyboystcox: You don't want to date me so it's kind of hard to take you seriously
SCSilk: If you can't take me seriously, then there's no reason for me to keep chatting with you.
SCSilk: So take it easy, and have a great life.  Bye now.
prettyboystcox: Jaye
prettyboystcox: I honestly want to get to chat with you face to face on campus

Two weekends ago,I had the pleasure of spending three days in a row at the Staples Center....crazy, eh?

 

Friday, June 5th, the Ole Skool Crew had a rehearsal for our performance at the LA Sparks' opening game against the Detroit Shock.  Because the SparKids and our team had so many new members, the Sparks entertainment management decided it was a good idea to have a run-through on the court before the game.  While it meant that I was missing spending time with some of my favorite people at my favorite Friday evening spot, it was a welcomed rehearsal because we had yet to rehearse on a basketball court.

 

I spent the day cleaning and running errands, then left for LA for the first time that weekend.  As I got off the freeway to go into our designated parking lot, the huge Lakers sign on the side of the Staples Center dominated my view.  The NBA Finals had kicked off the night before, and the place was decked out to the max.  We had a quick rehearsal outside before we entered the loading dock, where I think the teams actually enter, and headed towards the floor.

 

The Ole Skool Crew and SparKids waited on the sidelines while the teams' directors met with the entertainment staff to go over the schedule of Saturday's events.  The place was screaming Lakers Finals.  I was wondering how many logos would be changed out for the Sparks game the following day.

We picked up our new t-shirts for the season, then hit the floor to run through both our routines.  It didn't take too long to get the spacing together.  I hadn't been out there since we performed at a Lakers game on April 9th.  It felt good to be back there for the Sparks.

 

The rehearsal wasn't too long, and several of us went out to eat afterwards, which was nice.  This was the first time we'd really spent non-rehearsal time together.

 

Our time back at the Staples Center was all too soon:  Saturday morning at 8:30am.  Take two.  We got there in time to find the dressing room, drop off our stuff, and then hit the court again for a quick pre-game rehearsal in uniform.  Then we headed off for the first gig of the day:  the Make-a-Wish Foundation 2-mile walk a few blocks away.  They had asked us to perform before the walk started.  So we did, then headed back to the Staples Center for a pre-game meal.

 

The morning was flying by!  They had us in the Clippers dressing room, nicely carpeted but with crappy lights (like they care what they look like!)...soon it was time to hit the tunnels for the pre-game show.  Like last year, we formed a corridor with the SparKids for the team to enter, and were on the court for the Star Spangled Banner and team introductions.  So high school.  So cool!

 

We had plenty of time, since we were not performing until halftime, instead of our usual pre-halftime performance during a timeout.  I didn't have to worry about my hair since we were wearing hats for the first number.  We had a quick runthrough of the routine in the tunnel, then stood off to the side, waiting for the clock to run out, and the camera panned on Snoop and his family.  SNOOP WAS THERE!  HE WAS GOING TO SEE US DANCE!  Is a non-hoochie mama Snoop video in our future?  Time will tell.  I heard a rumour that a) he asked about us after we performed and b) he wanted to become the Jack Nicholson of the LA Sparks and attend every game.  So who knows?

 

The first half ended, the Sparks were leading the Shock, and we were on deck!

 

The kids performed first:  they did a cute number where each dancer was showcased for 8-16 counts.  We did a similar thing, with a Soul Train line.  It had sometimes been a Metro wreck at rehearsals, but it worked out for the most part, and we all ended together.

 

After that, four of us remained on the sidelines for some new dance thing the Sparks wanted to try with the crowd.  Unfortunately, due to time, it got bumped.

 

Our next performance was the first timeout of the third quarter, which was new for us.  Normally we did the first time out  of the second and fourth quarters.  Unfortunately, we were still in the tunnel rehearsing when we got the call to perform, and we all had to RUN onto the court to perform "Groove is in the Heart".  We had only a few seconds to get ready for the music.  It went well.

 

As if that wasn't enough, they asked us to come back out for the first timeout of the fourth quarter, not to perform, but to help out with the tshirt toss.  So for those of you who have been to a Lakers game and have seen the Laker girls out there spread out on the court, dancing during a time out (but not doing a dance routine)....that's exactly what we were doing.  Five of the Ole Skool Crew members and five SparKids were tossing t-shirts, and the rest of us were out there dancing and waving to the crowd.  I think I need to take more aerobics classes!

 

And...we were finally done!  We changed into civvies and I spent time with a friend and her family and friends.  Good times.  I got home and watched the tape of the game; it had been live on ABC earlier.  Unfortunately, we didn't get any TV time.  Shucks.

 

Then, Sunday, I met my sister and went to the Lakers game.  Game 2 of the playoffs!  Seems like ancient history now, since they won the playoffs.  We had a great time.  We joked about selling our tickets and flying up to San Francisco to play, but I'm glad we were there; it was the last game the team played at the Staples Center that season, and I had been at the first game.  Full circle!  Great energy and the team won...and the rest is history....

 

The Ole Skool Crew is back at Staples on Sunday, June 28th!
