DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Last night my roomate and I headed over to the Bonaventure Brewing Co to watch game 2. Those of you keeping score at home may remember that this was where Kathy and I watched game 4 of the San Antonio series. This time, though, it was an early game and happy hour pricing was in effect for the first hour. I got fish and chips, which were $5.95 and not the $4.95 suggested online. They weren't spectacular, but they weren't bad, so all in all I can't really complain. I imagine they'd be better from the McCormick & Schmidt's happy hour menu but having not been there before I didn't know whether they'd have the game on.

Downtown happy hour prices are something I will definitely be exploring over the upcoming months. I'm all about cheap food.

My prediction is still Lakers in 6, though it could well go 7. I think they win game 3, lose 4, win 5, and come back to close it out in game 6. We'll see, though. I could also see the Lakers winning 3 & 4, and then losing 5 because in their hearts they really want to win the championship in LA.
