Yeah, as a matter of fact it was.
Although obviously things there got attributed to me that could not be -- sitting in the stands every night and all that. That was actually why I started that poll about the economy and its effect on season ticket holders. He had asked me if I knew of any people who were giving them up due to the economy. So all of you who did not respond to that poll -- missed your chance to be a star.
In any case, guess once he did not find that person, he just used me as proxy. Don't mind. Just worth noting. We talked for a long spell there, and he was really good about putting in many of the things we talked about throughout the article. Guess he worked in Sacramento for a couple of years when he was young in the late 80s, so he knew how it used to be int he early years. He had some thoughts about how he was going to construct the article and some of the things he was going to put in (the ticket office being closed, the award for the first season ticket holder to renew etc.), and he just plucked my brain for the rest. Now some of those quotes are...well not quite what I think I said, and a bit fudged. But he got most of it and I think made a real effort to write an article with some local insight. Wasn't really expecting it to be focused so much on our conversation though -- thought I was just giving him some background info and might get a mention or something.
