Blazersedge Night at the Garden 2008-09

How official is it? Well we've got a flier!

First, the info.

What: A gathering of Blazersedge members at an actual Blazers game.

When: December 27th versus the Toronto Raptors

How Much: $17 per ticket plus processing fees.

How to Order: See the order form on the flyer below. (Click the link after the flyer to see it full-sized.) Or contact Lisa Swan at the Blazers' office:

lisa.swan@trailblazers.com Phone: 503-963-3966 Fax: 503-736-2192 Make sure to ask for the Blazersedge section.

Tickets are ordered through the Blazers this year. You can pay for them any way you'd pay for normal tickets. There are only 68 left, so order soon.

Anticipating FAQ's:

1. Since it is so close to Christmas I am thinking we will not have a formal get-together outside of the game at this event. (If somebody wants to organize an informal one before or after and it picks up steam, so be it.) HOWEVER we will have a second get-together this year, and I am thinking we will do that at a sports bar or restaurant in Portland during a ROAD game, so we can all watch and eat and talk together. That will be in the spring, I'm thinking.

2. It's possible we will also do the sending kids who can't afford to go project this year. We need to see how the tickets sell for site members first. If there are enough left over we will open this event for that. If not we may try to arrange a separate block or separate event.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Bummer

I was planning on being home for the holidays, but recently had to change my plans. Otherwise I would totally be there for this. I am down for doing another kids night like last year as well.

The one year I'm not in Portland for the holidays...

You lucky folks!

That is a Saturday in case anybody wondered

I’m a strong maybe. Is it allright to bring a non-bedger spouse or other guest into the group? I’ll assume that one guest would be ok….. especially if your guest has been the topic of a previous fanpost http://www.blazersedge.com/2008/2/22/25936/6230

We're famous

I called up Lisa and she just laughed when I told her I was calling about the Blazers Edge event tickets. Apparently all she’s been doing today is answering our calls.

I’m also bringing my kid brother (15), so you’ll have to help me further indoctrinate him into the ~~cult~~ err ~~religion~~ uhh, joy that is Blazer fandom.

650

Lisa also said I was the second person to call with a 650 area code. Fellow south-bay resident — reveal yourself!

Hey

Maybe he can go sit with my 17 yr old grandson and I can sit with the Bedgers!

Sounds awesome

sounds like an awesome time, maybe some money can be dished out for poor college students trying to go to a game on their winter break, either way I’ll be glad to come back to portland and see a blazer game

Ouch...

I have tix already for Dec 16, 23, 25, and 30 (I live in Salem and logistics are hard from here). Would like to attend the BEdge party though, especially if it is on a weekend.

Is anyone interested in my Christmas Day tickets vs. Dallas (section 315)? No way I can make that game. I also have the days before and after TDay…. the wife has been staring me down… “Family before games”…. we always have the TDay dinner at my house and I fear if that if I go to games the day before and after TDay and don’t help in the kitchen that I will not get ANY food or love….

I really like the idea of another get together later at a restaurant or something, that would be fun!
