It's the first game back in New Orleans for the Hornets since Mardi Gras, and there's billions to be exited about, especially the first Buzz Fest of 2008 before the game. Now that I'm a season ticket holder I gets to drink me some free beer right there!

Our opponent this evening are the Memphis Grizzlies and if both teams play like their records indicate they should, Hornets' fans should be leaving the Arena in a fine mood.

The essential info…

Comments welcome before, during and after the game. I'll be at the Arena so I won't be able to add to the conversation like I've been doing for the past few road games. Massive appreciation to anyone who cares to hold it down in my absence.

[Update] Hornets win, 112-99.
