Drive for Life

I ventured to Invesco Field yesterday for Drive for Life XI. Normally I donate blood at the ACME Building or at Bonfils’ Highland Ranch Location, but I thought it would be fun to check this out. You get to donate with hundreds of other people. You get free bling, lots of food, and excellent treatment by the entire Bonfils staff. But I must admit I had an ulterior motive. In my plan, I would feign fainting and a Bronco cheerleader would rush to my rescue and perform CPR (because per their job description, “[t]he job of a Denver Broncos Cheerleader is to be a lady at all times, to be gracious and kind to those she comes into contact with and to support and uphold the impeccable image of the Denver Broncos organization.”)(Note: Apparently no longer does the impeccable Bronco image involve a Bronco fathering nine children out of wedlock). Alas, one small crink in my plans. It seems that the DBC do not like to get up early. They were only going to show up at 11 am (of course, the ads never disclosed that fact). So, I was only left with the opportunity to get the autographs of two of the Bronco offensive linemen (which, of course, I passed up.)
