So, a week ago, when the Hornets closed out its series against Dallas, the franchise wanted a "gold out." It didn't happen. The Arena was a cornucopia of colors.

Well, tonight, New Orleans did something about it. The fan give-away tonight at the Nest is a gold shirt at every seat.

It looks pretty fantastic. It'll look great.

It looks like this now from my camera phone:

So, Aaron Neville sang the national anthem. Pretty fantastic version, if I don't say so myself. He announced before the game that he's moving back to New Orleans. That should make people happy.

But here's what got my attention: His voice is so distinctive. Makes me happy I'll be watching them close out Jazz Fest tomorrow night.
