We Are All Made of All-Stars

While getting ready for tonight's NYE shindig at No Frills Grill, I came across this ESPN note, crowing that the NHL will hold its next All-Star Game in Dallas, at the American Airlines Center.

I was damned lucky to get to go to the MLB All-Star Game when it came to town in 1995, and it was an experience I'll not soon forget. Joe DiMaggio threw out the first pitch. PA Guru Chuck Morgan played a snippet from Phil Collins' "I Don't Care Anymore" when Hideo Nomo left the mound ("No mo'... no mo'. No mo'... no mo'."). Muhammed Ali was handing out autographed Nation of Islam brochures on the main concourse.

Here's hoping that such a collision of scenes repeats itself in February 2007.

Did you end up going to the game at American Airlines center? I'd be interested to hear about it.
