    A few updates and information about upcoming forum events.

    I've been talking with the Blazers, they really like the idea of the Rippy Awards and will be joining in the fun with us. I'm hearing rumors of prizes! A few for winners but also for voters.

    While I'm not going to disclose what the categories are I will give you a few hints about some of them. If you've been thinking about sprucing up your office space, adding a new coat of red and black paint to your man cave or going up in your attic to find that rare piece of Blazer memorabilia I suggest you do it this weekend.

    Meet and Greets!

    Wheels and Casey have both agreed to them. No dates have been set yet but I shooting for the Wheels one to happen right before training camp and the one w/ Casey to happen during training camp/preseason.

    Also I'm trying to see if the Wheels Meet and Greet can be held at the newly remodeled Practice Facility and the Meet and Greet with Casey to be held at The Pines at the Moda Center. Not sure if the those locations will happen but keep your fingers crossed.

    Sly is making good things happen here. The meet & greets should be a lot of fun.

    The Blazers are ready to actively support the Rippy's.

    Freaking fantastic! When would it be? If you can give me a couple of weeks notice, I'd love to make it.

    And thanks to the Blazers for possibly opening up the remodled practice facility.

    I guess I stand corrected. The mods do other things than banning people. Thanks for the hard work, mods!

    Its very exclusive. Only certified top tier posters (such as myself) are allowed to attend these.

    Its something to aim for.

    Only people with more than 12,000 posts can go.

    It depends on if we can use those spaces from the Blazers or if we will have to hold them at restaurants like we have done in the past. No matter where, forum members will always get first chance to go. If it looks like there will be spaces available I might put it up on social media.

    But if it were done as a contest it would be better.
