Blazersedge Night Tomorrow

by Dave on Dec 26, 2008 11:01 AM PST

Just a note to wish everybody a fantastic night for Blazersedge Night at the Garden tomorrow. The weather has ended up grounding us so we won't be able to join you but do bring plenty of signs so maybe the section gets on camera and I can see you guys while I'm watching at home. That would make me HAPPY!

Ben has promised to put in an appearance in the midst of his game-reporting duties so make sure and say hi to him! Most of all, root for a Blazers victory!

Oh, and one more time...THANK YOU to everyone who bought tickets. And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who bought a ticket to send the kids. We're already starting to get stories back from people who work with these kids saying what a major thing this is for them...stories of kids screaming in stunned disbelief on the phone when they got the news, hours-long discussions of Blazer defensive strategies from kids who don't otherwise speak much...all that kind of stuff. 90 young folks are going to this game because of you guys. Nicely done.

We'll get some pictures at the game, but all of you can take pictures and e-mail them to Ben too. I'm sure he'll get a collage going. He's a collage-y kind of guy.

Enjoy the event!

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

P.S. Another huge thank-you to Nate who put this event together initially. He made it easy for all of the rest of us.

It's too bad I won't get the chance to meet you.

Thanks for organizing it.

March 5th

at The Agency across from PGE park. That’s the meet and greet while watching the Blazers-Nuggets game in Denver.

Have Fun

For all of us who won’t be able to come there

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Anybody...

….getting together before the game for drinks?

We'll probably head into town way early to allow for possible

traffic problems due to weather, so we might be looking for a place to hang out before the game for a while.

Even though I couldn't make this year

I’m strangely extra-saddened to know that the organizer and fearless leader cannot make it!

The kids are all going to be able to get there, right?

Yeah

I don’t think they’d miss it for the world.

If anyone wants a big version of any caricature to print it and show it during the game, let me know sending a message to amlmart1 at gmail (dot) com.

I´ll send it back to you.

I have: Dave, Ben, Nate, KP, Paul Allen, Baby Point Guard and every player in our roster.

Sergio + Rudy = 16
Sergio + Bayless = 16
Batum 8+8=16

I would like to know where you will be also,

I already have tickets in another section but I would like to come by and meet a few Bedgers.

by twggyy on Dec 26, 2008 6:35 PM PST reply actions

Me too

My dad got tickets before I knew this game would be the BEdge one.

by torsoheap on Dec 26, 2008 10:41 PM PST up reply actions

Fine! I guess its some sort of secret!

Look, If you don’t want anyone knowing where the Bedgers are just say so. You want your privacy, I understand, you don’t want a bunch of jonny come latelys crashing your special people party! Ok I get it. Its like when my friends said they were going to the mall and I went and it turned out they all went downtown, just so they could ditch me! That might have been a tv show actually. Well I will see your signs! I will bring my B.O. and make you all hug me! That will teach you to keep your secrets!

Not sure why you replied to me

since I’m also trying to figure out where they’re sitting.

by torsoheap on Dec 27, 2008 1:00 PM PST up reply actions

yeah, sorry about that

It was really meant to be to all the people not replying with the info. This thread in the post dealt with that. Not really a reply to you in particular, though I see how you might have thought that. Also the whole thing was just a joke anyway. I assumed someone with the name torsoheap would have a sense of humor. If not, scary.
