My brother and I ventured to a Sears to meet the trophy and have our picture taken with it. We waited for around two hours, but it was well worth the wait. This kind of photo session is only being done twice so it felt kinda special. My brother is the slightly thinner, younger, and less shaggy fella on the left. Which means I'm the goofy looking fool on the right.

The Tower lit up burnt orange, the #1 on the sides, the sea of humanity everywhere... this was a blast. Unfortunately, I did not have a tri-pod and my camera sucks at night so a lot of these pictures suck. I took about 100, but these were the only ones that were even usable.

With Queen's "We Are The Champions" blasting away, the trophy was received a thunderous applause as it was brought out at halftime of the Texas/Colorado basketball game.

What did the trophy say when you met it?:p

OK, that's cool that they take the trophy on the road. I'd like to see the Stanley Cup.

At least you did the "Hook 'em" correctly...and not the McConaughey version.

It was cool. It asked me if the Salt Lick was any good. I said the food was a little overrated, but it's a nice drive and some good fun. I asked it if it wanted to go grab a burger later at Casino el Camino, but it said it was busy that night. There was some serious talent in the line that day so I wouldn’t be surprised if it picked up a few numbers. ;)

I work at Cabela's and it was there today. Got my pic taken with it. From the pics, it looks like we pulled it off a lot better than Sears.

The top of the Frost Tower is usually lit up blue.
