Somewhere
The Edge of Nowhere went to the middle of somewhere at the last minute last night, sitting in a suite at the Pepsi Center surrounded by a record 19,866 Nuggets fans, 11,455 of whom boooed every time Kobe touched the ball as Los Nuggets destroyed Los Lakers 117-90something. And as pleasing as the outcome of the game was, and as amusing as the company in the luxury box (including state legislators and the governor's deputy chief of something) was, the highlight for some of us from the Edge of Nowhere may have been the half-time act, the "Red Panda" -- a woman who sat precariously atop an eight-foot unicycle, balancing "china" bowls on her feet -- first one, then two, then three, then four, up to six (while unicycling with one foot!) -- and then tossing them high into the air and catching then nested atop her head. Weird, wild stuff. The Edge of Nowhere is also pleased to report the Nuggets have now won 20 of 25 games since Karl took over as coach. It has nothing to do with my novel. I just wanted to tell you.
