Announcing the First Ever Blazersedge Portland Get-Together

This is the official announcement of our Blazersedge get-together game for this fall.

--The date will be November 9th versus Memphis.  (Why?  Because I'm part of a panel at a writer's conference that weekend and that's the last vacation weekend I can take until next year.  The 10th was a possibility but I don't know about the conference hours yet so I figured I'd play it safe.)

--The seats will be Orange section, which should be the lower part of the upper bowl.  We wanted to keep the price reasonable.  The cost will be $31 per ticket.  If at least 100 people sign up there will be a $5 rebate on each ticket refunded the night of the game.

--Like the site, the event is absolutely open to spouses, children, grandchildren, and anyone else you want to bring.  It's all about the Blazersedge family (and extended family) getting together to watch a game.

--If the response is good enough early enough we might plan a less formal get-together before or after the game at a local place.  If that's something you want the best way to achieve it is to order your tickets early.

--If the response is good enough overall we'll do this again in the spring in case anybody has to miss.

Here's what you need to do to order tickets...

Send the following information:

Your Real Name
Your Screen Name
# of tickets you're ordering

via e-mail to:

naterocks4u at yahoo dot com (replace the "at" and "dot" with the symbols).  

Nate will instruct you from there. He can take checks via mail or PayPal payments.  He's volunteering his time so be nice to him.

PLEASE if you plan to attend order EARLY!  The Blazers can save us a certain number of seats but they have to sell the remainder.  If a few people order really late we can probably squeeze them in but if only 10 people order in August and 90 order in October those 90 aren't going to have anywhere to sit.

I hope you can join us for this great event and meet your fellow Blazersedge readers!

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

I'm in...sort of
That happens to be one of the games on my 10-game package, so I'll already be there (although in a different section)

Keep us informed of any pre or post game get togethers though, so we can sync up with the big group for that

Having met many...
of the Blazer faithful, I can only imagine you people having a great time.  I'm envious.

Very glad that this is coming together
I am a season ticket holder in the 100 level, so won't be sitting in your section with you all, but if there is a gathering before or after I'd love to put some faces to all of your screen names... if not perhaps I'll just try to be there early and say hello as you are all picking up your tickets.  This should be a lot of fun, thank you Dave!

Hey,
If you need anyone to go to games you can't make just let me know.  I'll cheer my head off and do you proud.  :)

Thanks for the offer Earl
It's funny, over the last several years there are times I've not been able to get anyone to go (not often, but sometimes) on nights that my wife can't make it, this year I've got a list of people wanting in on the tickets... including a co-worker who is sharing the pair with me (in theory).

That said, I'll definitely keep your info and will let you know if an opportunity comes up!  Thank you.

I might
be able to make this! I just got a full time job though and am on probation, but I have Fridays/weekends off so I can probably come to this!

Probation??
Should we assume this is "new hire employment" probation?        (Just teasing you!)

by ladygonegrey on Aug 10, 2007 12:07 AM PDT up reply actions  

Cool
I'll be there.

Dave, Jorga, don't forget your Holy Water, Bibles, and crucifixes to keep me in check.

by damir on Aug 9, 2007 3:58 PM PDT reply actions  

I think I'll be coming
Have to check my schedule.  What time does the game start?  That will make a difference.

It's In My Calandar...
...right below the smiling faces of President and Mrs Bush.  I'll need a few days, though, to see who might want to come along.

Bush? You mean G.W. Bush?
Didn't he used to be president?

by ojala on Aug 10, 2007 3:24 PM PDT reply actions  

well,
join us before or after the game...that way, we can have some...cheer factor when they mention blazersedge.com on the jumbotron?

Have fun & GO BLAZERS!
