Went to the opening night of the NBA Jam Session last night. Basically, in the South Hall of the convention center, they set up a bunch of things where you could, like, shoot free throws and win SpeedStick, the official deodorant of the NBA. They also had E3-style booths where you could play NBA-branded games by ESPN, Sony, and Microsoft, including “NBA Ballers,” which I think gets my award for title of the year.
You get the point - the entire thing was a giant marketing shill. But I guess I could see how, if you really really really like basketball, you might like this.
There was a very large booth set up in the corner called “China Pavilion” but it was closed. I thought maybe it was for Yao Ming or something.
After spending about an hour and a half there, I went to the Troubadour to see the Jealous Sound perform. They’re one of my favorite bands. The show was OK.
Gotta go to work.
