I have been waiting for the information on this great event. This event is sponsored and aimed at the Latino/a community that supports the Lakers here in LA. I was fortunate enough to go last year and man there was soooooo many people. I went with my best friend Kevin (who is a big Laker fan) and our other friend David. Since it was your first time going to this event we didn't know what to expect. It started at 12pm so we got there at 1230, and to our surprise it was packed. The even is in the convention center and the line went all the way around to Staples Center. We walked into line and stayed there till we got in, which was 2 hours from when we got there. But it was worth it.
Unfortunately we didn't win wrist bands to meet one of the Lakers at an autograph booth, but we seen them on stage and got Laker girl autographs (my two friends obviously were excited about that). Seeing Gasol, Kobe and Sasha was so cool, up on stage and everyone in that room screaming MVP MVP to Kobe as he walked up to speak in both English and Spanish. Every Laker that spoke made sure they said something in Spanish to please the crowd. After that it was time for them to go to their booths for autographs. I went straight to Sasha so I can get close enough to take pictures of him and yes I got some good ones.
We plan to go again now that the info is out, but this time we know to go way earlier for a chance to win wrist bands to meet our favorite Laker!!!!
