My gal's Erick Dampier encounter, and my new souvenir.

[Thespiralgoeson]

Ok, so I get home from work this afternoon, and my girlfriend yells from the kitchen "Tyler, go look on the dresser." So, I waltz towards the dresser, and I see what appears to be a wrinkled bar napkin with something scribbled on it. I look closer and I see it says (quite sloppily)

"To Tyler.
Best wishes,
Erick Dampier #25
Dallas Mavs"

Stunned, I ask how she got it, and she tells the story. Last night, while I was toiling away at my boring dead-end job, she and a few of her girl friends were having a gal's night out at Dragonfly. At some point during the evening, she noticed a very tall, very muscular, bald african-american man, with lots of attractive women hovering around him. She, not being any kind of sports fan, approaches the man and asks "Do you play for the Mavericks by chance?" The man looked at her with a slightly puzzeld expression as if she had just asked him a very dumb question, so before he says anything she finishes "I only ask because my boyfriend is like the biggest Mavericks fan ever." This seemed to please him, as he immediately became very friendly and searched for a napkin, and asked what her boyfriend's name was. He then scribbled something hastily on a napkin, and said "Here, give this to him." She said thank you and let him get back to his entourage.

Now I've been happy all day because not only do I have the coolest girlfriend in the world, but I have a brand new wrinkled bar napkin signed by Erick Dampier. I put it in the display case on the mantle, right next to my ball signed by Dirk.

Homes better not be having a hangover tonight. Someone get the man some vitamins and an aspirin.

j/k.... cool story.

[Ninkobei]

very sweet. glad to hear Damp is having a good time here in dallas

[She_Growls]

That's very cool....

Damp's a cool cat. My good buddy met him and Diop at Ghost Bar and whipped him with conversation for a while. Said Damp was really pretty shy but nice. He said Diop though, was one of the coolest dudes that he's met. Sat down with him for a bit and talked to him and his wife about all kinds of bs.

Such a cool story. And equal coolness from Damp & your gf.

Way to go! Coolness.

Man, you ARE a fan.

I don't care how much you like him, I'd keep my ball in my trousers even if Dirk DID sign it.

I need to get a scene like damps. an entourage at dragonfly. thats my new career goal.

[u2sarajevo]

Now I understand why Damps was getting his drink on the night before the game.... because he realized that Avery had a mental lapse and thought he was Nellie so there was no chance Dampier would be playing anyway.

Heck.... drink away Damps.... If you ain't gonna play you might as well play. (<----that sentence shouldn't make sense... but it does)

[Flacolaco]

Didn't he used to play for the Mavericks?

[mffl03]

So this happened Sunday night or Saturday night?

....hmmmm great focus for a team....half naked women and a double on the rocks!!

you let your girlfriend go to dragonfly while you are at your "dead end job"? hmmm....I'd be a little more careful.....women do like the green paper and nice cars......

[MavsX]

[Smiles]

Awesome girlfriend! That was really sweet of her to ask him..
