It's been crazy this week in Germany.
Fortunately I'm only on the one-city gig, four games here in Koln, rather than the multi-city tours some of the NBA guys have been working. Poor bastards...
I got here with a minimum of difficulty- the plane from Newark to Koln was pretty empty- I had a bulkhead seat but changed at the last minute to an empty row... Marginally better, but biz class would have been mo' better.
Koln is a nice city-
They have the ever-present ornate cathedral in the middle of town, just like every other European city.
The Dom
Our hotel- (the Hyatt) is right on the Rhine river, and a short walk across the bridge puts us down in the bar/restaurant section of town...
The Hyatt- full moon rising
The NBA guys (and girls) take every opportunity to enjoy the local scene.
Ariana and Andrea (and the ever-present Crackberry)
M&M - Munoz & Martin
Chia Bret, or rather Non-chia Bret...
And this is what happens when you leave your digital camera unattended...
Kevin Breen - Self Portrait
More Fun on the Menu
I'm not sure *why* they are classifying it as "art".
And I KNOW this isn't art...
So, it's game day here at the Kolnarena...
I'm here at courtside waiting for Peter Skrodelis to show up with a roll of scotch tape and an e-mail that I neglected to reply to...
Last night during a spirited discussion (vodka was the spirit of choice) I was accused of ignoring a technical discussion via e-mail because I was too busy doing something trivial like, oh, sitting on an airplane or, Allah forbid, working at a non-NBA event...
If I got it and ignored it he said he'd print it out and tape it to my forehead...
If he didn't CC me on it, he's just going to put the tape there, but not the e-mail.
One way or another, I'm going to wind up with tape on my head.
The fun never stops here in Koln.
One more pic, just to round out the day...
Write your own caption.
Famous, out.

How about; "Finally, a brief moment to be myself. How I long to complete my mission and return to the home planet, leaving these inferior beings to their pathetic lives."
This is the KolnArena wireless device that must be worn for access. According to the Arena name is should go somewhere else...but I'll just keep it on my head!!!
They named it right...
The Colon Arena.
