Oh, Say, Can You... (what noise do timberwolves make?)

Tonight, I performed the National Anthem at the Timberwolves vs. Cavaliers game at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

That's me, center court... if you squint...

The Jumbotron makes things a little easier...

with Crunch, the team mascot

I wore my Rodney Alfred cocktail dress that I had worn for On-Stage Question at Miss America - blue is one of my favorite colors, and it's a Timberwolves color too! Rod, David, Barb, Jackie, Kevin, and my Mom & Dad and cousins Richard and Paul joined me for the game. The Wolves lost, but they were up against some pretty stellar talent.

Fun story: as I was warming up backstage (or back-court, or whatever it's called), the Cavaliers players were walking by... every one of them stopped for a double-take, and one held up his arms as if he were playing a violin/viola. I was later informed by the intern (thanks for everything, Jackie!) that it was LeBron James. The superstar.

Oh, and it's snowing. I always get fooled into believing April actually means spring or summer... *sigh*
