They had us on a 2.4 x 2.4 metre stage that wheeled out into the middle of the basketball court. I haven't watched a basketball game since I was a kid; and to be honest, I feel a little shame when I say that. How much fun!!! Those Wildcats know how to party. Every time out there was some sort of different entertainment to watch. The VIP seats had chips and drinks and hot food and all sorts of awesome stuff going on. I'm a convert. Don't get me wrong, I'll never lose my love for Cricket, (even when Australia can't seem to win a match for... ... quite some time) but this was heaps of fun. Indoors, lots of music and energy. This was like the gospel church of sport. he he... Our half time thing was to promote the Wildcats end of season ball that we are going to be at. We had about 8 minutes (no more, no less) so we did the obligatory: 'Buddy you're a boy make a big noise playing in the street gonna be a big man someday...' We Will Rock You by Queen was an obvious choice, and looking around the arena, I saw PLENTY of mouths singing along. Then we quickly followed it with 'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley. I thought, something new, something for the keeyids... the cheerdren. You know when they sing 'DEFENCE... DEFENCE', yeah well when I was walking off the court quite happy with what we had done... there was a group of dudes chanting 'MURPHY... MURPHY...' That was very very cool. The Wildcats won by 18 points like that. I'd like to think that was because they were inspired by a certain rock band, who may just have lifted the energy and mood... a little little bit. Who knows. Love Court.
