Last year, some of us Blazers fanatics in NYC started gathering to watch games.  It was awesome, and you should join us.

For opening night, join us at Croxley Ale House in the East Village to watch the return of a full-strength Martell Webster and the unveiling of the Greg Oden you always hoped for.  Meet Portland Ex-Pats! See Rachelle's homemade Bayless jersey! Hear about Joshua's memories of Portland in the 80's!  Admire Sylvan's incredibly Blazer-biased criticisms of the refs!  Select from a Portland-esque 31 beers on tap!  Discuss the finer points of the rotational decisions during commercial breaks without having to wait for the game-day thread to load!  If you're as excited as I am for this season to finally start, you'll want to share it with someone, right?

Seriously, join us.  You won't have any trouble recognizing us-- just walk up and say hello!

Croxley's is on Ave B between 2nd and 3rd:
