Day 16 - October in June

I just got back from watching the Warriors game at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland. Even though they lost, the energy after the game wasn't downtrodden. There was a feeling of excitement and hope. This has so far been one of the best match-ups in Finals history (source:me), and the Golden State Warriors are in it. 

The past five years have been good years to be a Bay Area sports fan. The Giants have won three World Series, the 49ers made a comeback after years of being terrible (although less Harbaugh, I'm not feeling too hopeful about the upcoming season), and the Warriors have consistently made it to the playoffs after having been sub-par for decades. With the Warriors in the Finals for the first time in 30 years, there's a new vibrance in the Bay Area. As someone who grew up a Giants fan, it's something I recognize as the excitement that occasionally happens in October. It's been fun and exciting to experience it in Blue and Yellow for the first time in my lifetime.
