Vegas Update

by Dave on Jun 2, 2008 12:34 AM PDT

Just a quick update to let you know where we are vis-a-vis Summer League:

We have received enough donations that I'd say going is a lock-solid guarantee at this point. A huge "THANK YOU!" to everyone who has pitched in so far. That said, we're still a little bit short of being truly comfortable for the trip. In other words there's still room if anybody would like to contribute some gas money to send Dave to Vegas to cover the team for the site. Of course I'll still be pitching in plenty myself but with the price of fuel nowadays every gallon of help counts! E-mail if you're interested and let me know. We have a PayPal account if it's convenient, otherwise I can give you my mailing address.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention I have a very limited number of t-shirts available if you'd prefer to buy something rather than donate. I have:

2 Large "Beware the Second Coming/Oden 08 Fear It!" shirts (These are gone.)
1 XXXL "Blazersedge/What Ring Size Are You?" shirt like the ones we gave away for Jersey Contest prizes this year.
And I even dug up two XL Original Blazersedge T-Shirts (the "Us Against the World" design). This was the exact style I was wearing the day we won the lottery, so they're good luck. (Also sold.)

Unfortunately that's my entire stock. If anyone wants one for $15 as a semi-contribution to the Summer League Journey Fund, let me know.

The first two t-shirt designs are here.

I'm going too...

With a buddy of mine. We’re looking forward to it.

Eh?

“Send Dave to Vegas.”

Talking in third person now? What are you, Lebron James?

I got some money coming in soon, so I might be able to donate a little bit of cash.

I think we need to find a new graphic designer for the next shirts...

Vegas should be awesome though. I’m going to try and make it down though it is looking doubtful… Anyone want to split a room?

if you post a pay pal button, i'll pay

if not, I’ll give you some cash there or buy you dinner. Your choice. I’d offer to put you up in my hotel room too, but I think my girlfriend would be rather upset about that.

Maybe you could get a different room

and your GF and I could talk about the spurs?

Aw…wait. My wife would probably be upset about that.

LOL

where did that come from!

RB and I have a long-standing ribald back and forth

probably stemming from his first reference to his girlfriend enjoying spurs while neglecting to capitalize. Still can’t get that image out of my mind.
