I came out from Corona too. Lucky for me though, my bro has a loft in DTLA so I crashed at his pad last night. Went to HOHLA last night first and $%@* was madness, so I decided to get some sleep at try my luck at NTLA (since I got lucky with the AM pack there).......but, as my luck would have it, I didn't get called.Originally Posted by xsalvioutlawx
From my luck last year at HOH (Didn't get a pair) I decided to try my luck with NTLA this year.
Got there pretty late...It was like a little past 7am when I arrived (From Corona).
Waited in line for half an hour...Around 7:30 the line started moving and they started handing out the bracelets. Probably around 8:30 they started calling the raffle numbers.
I'd like to say there was around 300 people...Not sure because the numbers ranged from the 500's to the 800's from the tickets being called.....
Anyways. I was number 674, GF was 673, friend of mine was 675......
They called 672 which was a dude who was in front of me and right then I thought I had no chance. What were the odds they'd call any of our numbers when they just called one right next to us.
About 10 numbers in they called my number and I yelled. I was so happy, couldn't believe it. Got both my size 12's.
They only had 30 pairs of Aways and 50 of the Homes...Seems like most people got the Homes in their size those who won atleast, but alot of people had trouble getting their size in aways.
Thank God I finally got a bit of luck.
Overall it was an easy cop, due to LUCK of course.
Can't belive Santa Monica had more pairs than NTLA....I heard HOH LA was pretty hectic.
Anyways didn't get any sleep so i'm about to go to sleep. Happy for all the true Kobe heads aka NON resellers who got their pairs.
Pics later
Went down to NTSM and got both my raffle tickets called (mine and my son's). Too bad I couldn't get the 2nd set of pairs; I was inside paying for the first set when they called my 2nd number.
