When I began reading this post, I started to get a little bit annoyed (this is before I read the whole thing) because I’m always trying to make it a point around people who say “But you don’t LOOK Amrenian,” and ask them, well…what does an Armenian look like and is an Armenian supposed to look a certain way? I think that Armenians are beautiful people in their own unique way, no we do not look like Persians or middle-easterners, as some people compare us to. I myself am a 5’9 light haired, skinned, and eyed Armenian and the Armenians I know are pretty tall…over six feet tall, so I get a bit annoyed when people start to generalize or put a title on looks. Then I decided to read the rest of the article and I agree and have to say that it was very well said, I felt very proud to be there at that game and the after party…it was truly a cool experience, especially to be surrounded by so many proud Armenians!

I really enjoyed what you had to say. It’s one thing to be a Kings fan and attend any game when your team is working for a playoff spot. but to be able to attend the first Armenian heritage night as an Armenian American and Kings fan made this Armenian girl smile like she’d just won the lotto. This event was a once in a life time for many of us. And to be able to see the first Armo kid get to play in the NHL was simply amazing. Keep up the good work.

Great meeting you! I hope you had a fantastic time; I TOTALLY forgot there was an Armenian party going afterwards, I think I was too distraught after the game. Hopefully the audio turned out well too!

Steve – I’m a “light skinned Armenian” as well. The people who saw me at the party probably thought I was a poser.

WTF, Kenneth – I was so close to meeting Luc, and I would have been happy to tell him how I felt about the night. I missed meeting him by seconds.
