I just woke from a deep, deep sleep. Months of sleep. That's, um, why I haven't been posting here. Yeah, that's it. And I couldn't have timed it any better since tonight will be the first preseason game. I'm looking forward to seeing how KG moves. A skinny Perk. A bulkier Big Baby. And my new crush - Rasheed. I somehow find myself sighing every time I look at a picture of him. Our season

It is with a heavy heart and teary eyes that I write about the beloved and fiery Helen Heinsohn's passing. The "red head from Needham" is Tommy's wife and soulmate. It is hard to imagine what that strong man is going through right now. The Balcony Family extends their thoughts and prayers to the Heinsohn family and also to those who have had the pleasure of knowing Helen.People do not die for

Today marks Perk's 24th year. In tribute, Balcony Guy is expressing his wishes while wearing one of his favorite t-shirts (PLEASE NOTE: you'll need to click on the photos to get the full view.

On a day when our nation is turning out to vote in record numbers and everything revolves around the election, the Balcony Family did their part, walking the dog to the polls and casting our votes.Upon waking this morning I told the clan how excited I am about this day and about the changes our nation is about to undertake. Balcony Guy said he, too was very excited about the day."The Celtics

I don't know what's going on but I seem to have misplaced my ability to write blog posts. I'm sitting on some fun facts and pictures from the game on the 31st but I just can't seem to get it together. If you have any advice or something inspirational to share (the funnier the better b/c, let's face it, I'm motivated by humor) then I'd appreciate it.For now I'll put up my picture of the best

Dear Balcony Fans,Thank you so much for your wonderful emails making sure I was still alive. Yes, yes, I'm still alive. I almost forgot how to log into blogger but I did it and here I am. I opted to take the summer off from blogging because I didn't have much to say (stop laughing Mom, it's true). But now there is plenty to talk about, like the preseason game I was at on Sunday, chatting with

There's a contest going on over at Perk Is A Beast blog. Manipulate a Perk photo into something fun and win a t-shirt. Who doesn't want a t-shirt, right? I just sent over my fairly lame attempt at a submission and it looks like this:I'd love to come up with some more so keep checking over there to see if I have and to see what others are coming up with. There are some good ones (and some

I haven't gotten to the part where the Celtics win the championship yet (hope I didn't spoil it for you) but I want to get this picture up. This is what happened when the reporters and crowd (at least the crowd that was allowed to - kudos to the people who were able to keep everything orderly) stormed the court at the final buzzer.

The crowd getting into the Garden was surprisingly straight forward. In games past, especially early in the playoffs, there was congestion and confusion and overall pain-in-the-assedness. Tuesday night felt like everyone knew where their seats were, where they where going and how much time they had to get there. OK, perhaps it helped that we were there earlier than we've ever been before. As the

OK then, because I don't know where to start I'll just start at the beginning. There will be many photos and many parts. All photos, as usual, have been taken by me. If you find yourself disappointed in the quality of the photo, never fear. I will be getting a better quality lens for my beautiful camera as soon as I raise the funds. But that's a different story.I'm here to tell you about the

Physically I can't take it anymore. And I'm not the only one. I can't imagine how the Celtics players are feeling but I do know how a number of fans are feeling. The phone calls, the emails, the shout outs at the grocery store; everyone's stomachs are in knots. The adrenaline is pumping, then freezes up, then pumps again. I've never seen so many men who appear to have PMS every two to three

Tuesday is finally here. My special watch, modeled here by Balcony Guy, tells me so. If you squint you can see a blow up of the trophy the Celtics are playing for in game three tonight.Once again I find myself with butterflies in my stomach. And I get strangely giddy when I think of 9:00 PM. And my heart rate speeds up. And then, when I go to skip down the hall or up the driveway I curse the

My last post was about why. This is just all about the picture I took during game one of the 2008 NBA finals. Perhaps one of my favorite Balcony Gal photos of the 2007-2008 season. The smoke (the lame version of the fire works which are no longer allowed) filling the air, Paul's scream that echoed through the crowd as they screamed as well and the goose bump inducing feeling of the lights

I have almost 600 photos from last night's game. I promise I won't share them all but over the next couple of days I'll share many. Many. Not much to say about the game since it's being said everywhere else. Oh, wait, I just want to publicly declare my love for Paul Pierce. Not because he was carried off the court and came charging back in moments later. I'm in love with him because he has

I give everyone permission to take a nap today. It does not matter when you choose to snooze as long as it's not after 9 o'clock tonight. It's going to be a long and exciting evening as the Celtics face off against the Lakers for game one of the 2008 NBA Finals. I'm so excited that I'm just going to apologize right now to the guys who sit behind me; I'm sure I'll spend a lot of the evening

Friday night was rough. The world's worst foul call was made. The score went up and down and up and down and I'll be the first to say that up and down makes for a rough time. I'd tell you all about it but by now you'll have already seen it or read about it or heard about it. There really isn't much for me to say except WOOOO FRRRRRIIIIGGGINNNNN WHHHOOOOO.Here's the Balcony Gal Pictorial:We

It has come to my attention that season tickets are still available for the 2008-2009 season. Corner Balcony Seats can be had for what I'm betting is a great deal. They are high up in the Balcony but at least you're still in the Garden, right? Contact Ryan de La Bruere (don't try to pronounce it...just ask for Ryan) at 617-854-8014.It's not too late to get some great Celtics gear. Until June

All of the other Celtics blogs are looking ahead and, while I am too, I'd like to take a moment to look back. The Balcony Family is in the process of packing up our house in an attempt to sell it to some lucky family. You can read about the exploits at the blog Balcony Family Exploits which, as you can see if you tried to click on it, only exists in my head.In the process of packing I came

From the moment I saw this scene I couldn't get Kevin Garnett out of my head. Just the first thirty seconds of this clip are enough to show you what I mean...I imagine that this is what happened to KG when he found out he was coming to the Celtics (except he turned into a green version of this red Satan, of course) and this is what he will continue to morph into as the playoffs progress. I don't

There was this much fireworks and this much smoke that just wouldn't disappear.The 2008 NBA Playoffs mean I'm so excited that most of my pictures look like this while the Celtics are being introduced:The 2008 NBA Playoffs mean that, during round one, game two, I get to squish Mike Bibby.The 2008 NBA

I ask my reader(s) who come here only for the pictures to please bear with me as I talk about basketball for a minute. See, there's a little controversy in Celtics land. I wasn't really going to talk about it because I'm not into beating dead horses or people named Bibby. Plus, the rest of the media and blogosphere have chimed in repeatedly. But this morning I was laughing my ass off at a

I thought I should take one last stab at making it onto the Celtic's Dancers team. Originally I was trying to make the team so I could earn a few extra bucks to cover the cost of my playoff tickets. But now it's personal. I'm good enough, I just know it. Every team needs someone who's a little chubbier, a little more surprising than you'd expect(hellooo, Big Baby much? And I know I look

Rumor has it that Kevin Garnett's wife, Brandi, gave birth in the past day or two. Reports I've read this morning and the other gossip mongers I've chatted with don't seem to have any information. So come on, Kevin, spill it already. Boy? Girl? Size? How's Brandi doing? How's this baby? How's your head, what with the playoffs starting tomorrow and a new little life to be fawning over?

I know it's a big day for jokes but I will spare you any of my silliness. For now. And let's just note that that is a very hard thing for me to do!Today is, in all seriousness, the wedding anniversary of Balcony Guy and I. Yes, we were married on April Fools Day. It's a long story. Meanwhile, while I sit here and reminisce about the fact that 8 years ago I wasn't thinking about the NBA

I managed to snap this shot on the Mass Pike:I had driven by this guy and his female passenger and was shocked at the plate. What kind of luck was that?

It's no secret that I'm working on ways to pay for my Celtics playoff tickets. I've tried to become a Celtics Dancer - they sent a lovely letter telling me to try again next year. Apparently my belly button isn't real enough for them. I've tried growing a ticket tree and I've almost put up a paypal button so people can just contribute already. I realized I was fresh out of ideas.I needed the

Did you know that Monday is Celtics Day? According to the well informed Balcony Princess, Celtics Day will be celebrated by all (I shall not dispel this myth. I'll let her believe it until someone else wrecks the dream). There will be green clothing and shamrock headbands to wear. There will be green Celtics bread to consume (rye, from the bakery. Um, eww). And there should be a Celtics

Last night's win against the Pistons sure had the adrenaline pumping. Perk had a glorious double double, Rondo had some fantastic drives to the hole and KG just was, all while scoring his season high. This morning's Globe had this great quote about KG from coach Doc Rivers:"He is back to normal and his conditioning is back, his timing is back," Rivers said. "The way we can tell usually is his

Oh, have I been an industrious little Balcony Gal. I've been racking my brain for weeks now to come up with the best plan to raise money for my Balcony Seats during the Playoffs. I've gotten emails in regards to things I should try but most of them aren't appropriate to post here *blushes*.Balcony Guy and I thought long and hard and came to the realization that we should sell a few of our

Or Gino's Back and Other HighlightsYes, it's true. Gino is back. When there was 2:49 left in the 4th the Garden erupted to the American Bandstand sounds and sights of Gino and company. It felt nice. I don't know why Gino dissapeared but it's so nice to see his return.My seat WAY UP HERE allows for some good photos (if the lighting is right, if I'm taking a shot of something right next to me,

There is a lot for me to touch on for this game so this will be coming in installments. And I don't even know where to start.I guess starting with the first shot of the game would do. What do you notice? Thank goodness this shot didn't influence the game because 1) there was no Green under that net and 2) Paul missed. Oh, wait, Paul didn't pull down a lot of shots anyway.The crowd going into

Yesterday's Boston Sunday Globe brought in more opinions about the Celtics Dancers. Again, I let you go see for yourself and make your own observations. I think that if it's going to cause such a stir, and I'm sure it will *cough, cough*, then I won't become one of the dancers, no matter how much they beg and offer. I'll just have to figure out another way to pay for my playoff tickets.I can't

Balcony Guy and I bought our Balcony Seats because. No need to explain that. We love going to the games for many reasons and one of the best is that it's DATE NIGHT. Oh, love me some date night. We're pretty busy around the Balcony House and since becoming parents 3+ years ago we just don't get out often. So DATE NIGHT is wonderful.Now we've got to think ahead to the Playoffs.

There were no Gino sightings tonight on the big screen at the Garden. Scratch that, some guy wearing a homemade Gino t-shirt was flashed up there for about two seconds but that was it.

I have to hand it to the boys for playing strong last night. They really pulled up when they were behind and, while they lost, they looked good doing it. Oh, I know, I would have liked to see them win too, but the adrenaline, people, the adrenaline! These nail biters are keeping me from sitting still during a game.

I love these nail-biter games. This season has been great for them. But it's been really hard to be on the losing side of such a game. The crowd looked so bothered. Dejected. Upset. Annoyed. Remember last season when a game was over, when the Cs had lost, and fans just smiled and walked out of the Garden? It didn't interrupt their lives any. Now it's deadly. Deadly, I tell you.

I love that their season is so good that in tonight's game against Miami, Doc could still yell at them. They should have won bettah.

It stopped being exciting to watch them wipe the floor with the Knicks 104-59. It was funny and I was grinning but inside it seemed wrong. In a good way. But what's the deal with not letting Pierce sit down and have someone come out and give him a pedicure or something by halftime?

It was a beautiful night to be in the Boston Garden. A perfect night to be a Celtics fan.1) Rondo - awesome2) Perkins deserved his Player of the Game status tonight. It was hard to watch him at times, the the limp and rubbing his knee, but when he touched the ball it was magic.3) The "Beat LA" chant and t-shirts were pure retro genius.

I interrupt the posting of Page Two with this HURRAY, HURRAH, HOOOHAAAA!!! Chips and cheese went flying all over the room in this house. A Balcony View Point to anyone who was watching the game. I shall have sweet dreams in green tonight.

This blog isn't so much about the action at the game. Don't get me wrong, I watch the action. I love the action. It's the reason I'm there. I've always supported my men in green, even bought my season tickets when they weren't so great and I was enamored with boys that aren't even there anymore.
