Channing Frye jokingly names me a “rock star.” This is, in partiality, a reference to my prodigious skills playing Guitar Hero. But yesterday, I took a stage to play music for cheering supplicants in the reality!When I learned my mates and I would visit a local rallying for the team, I did not give it much consideration. The people wish to sprinkle honorifics on us? A kind gesture!
But limiting one’s expectations of Portland fans is a mistake. As the bus pulled up, our eyes grew wide. This was no rally; it was a popular movement! Were there 30,000 amidst the cheering throngs? Perhaps!When my time came to approach the crowdings, my mind blanked. A tambourine was proffered to me, and I happily accepted it. Tapping rhythmically upon the percussion instrument, I took the stage.
My Guitar Hero antics never yielded such excellent spectator histrionics! What excesses will Portland fans indulge in if we achieve victories in our first-round matchings with Houston? I wish to learn firsthand!
But most remarkable was the adulation my shoes received. They are composed of rubber, leather, foam, and plastics. Gaze upon them in wonder, mortals!
