alayna and i joined chris & monica to hit up the stars game (our third this year already). against carolina, leading 4-2 going into the 3rd i was pretty much convinced we had it, but we gave up a couple goals and ended up tied. there were some close calls in OT, mostly on the hurricanes end. but time expired so we went to the shootout, the first ever in the AAC. came down to the 3rd round where it was up to modano to end the game with a goal. i didn't realize at the time that modano hadn't actually participated in the 2 previous shootouts we've had this year. he pulled a sweet deke to the left on gerber and got the puck to just barely cross the goal line, sending the place into a frenzy. made the whole game awesome.

rick and i are gonna go check out aeon flux tonight. tried to get robert and hoang to go, but robert never got back to me and hoang was too lazy to even bother with an excuse.

tomorrow night, dinner with yet another friend. it's a social weekend extravaganza. w-o-w.
