#49 - Almost never lost


Once again I was visiting Palo Alto, California. It was Saturday morning when I realized that San Jose Sharks was playing against Vancouver Canucks the same night. I went online and bought tickets to the game. At the evening I was heading to HP Pavillion, the home of Sharks. I knew the address of the arena, 525 West Santa Clara Street. Unfortunately the Herz Neverlost allowed me to enter only part of the address without specifying the Western part of the address. It was completely dark when I arrived, according to Neverlost. However, the place was a small bar, far from the arena. Nobody in the bar knew anything about ice hockey, San Jose Sharks, or anything else that was useful to me. Seems that there are only couple of fans who know ice hockey. Anyway, the game was supposed to start soon and I was lost far away from the place where I was supposed to be. As an innovative guy I was trying to figure out a solution how to get to the right place. Then I realized to check from a paper map the name of the street close by the ice hockey arena, entered that to the Neverlost and arrived just in time to the game. The arena was nice, even better than Hakametsä in Tampere. The audience was rather calm. However, when the first fight started, the audience started to get anxious. Also during the Canucks penalties the audience got anxious to eat the opponents like sharks.

Lessons learnt:
Technology is supposed to help you, but it often fails doing that.

Canucks vs  Sharks
