Live Arena Vote Diary, PART 3!

UPDATE: Soooooo...um, I thought that they were going to break when I signed off last. This is not the case.


Segal (the one I warned about last entry) asked the Orlando Convention Center folks what they thought of the venues and all hell broke loose. Apparently the Convention Center peeps are nervous of what the new arenas will do to the success of their establishment, and voiced it in a quite intelligent manner. This seemed to be somewhat of a negative mark, but wasn't really that big of a deal.

Well, next thing you know, Mr. Watson (Barney Gumble) comes running out and starts shouting that updating Amway Arena was priority 3d and that the other things that the Convention Center people are mentioning are around priority 19 for the Commission. After smiling over how coincidental and neat it was that updating the Magic's arena was priority 3d (Dennis Scott's old nickname), I was brought back to reality by Mr. Watson's yelling.

After such a nice, well-put presentation by everyone, Mr. Watson and his mustard yellow slides is in danger of screwing it all up.

-Wow. Like a beacon of light, Marcy (Teresa Jacobs) has said some really wonderful things about the excitement the venue would cause. We have her vote and then some.

Right now, barring a crazy showing by Mr. Segal, we have this thing won with 5 out of 7 votes.

Hey! They just FINALLY called for recess. Thank goodness! On a related note, I unfortunately am going to have to run to catch this movie. All the best and I will report later on tonight about the outcome of the vote.
GO MAGIC!
