Bring A Geek To Work Day........

[PtldPlatypus]

Half hour in, I've met Dame and Calabro, seen Nurkic's truck, and had a quick tour of the truck. Just in the early going, crazy to see how much goes into this.

Damn, you get to meet Dame? That's totally worth all of THE jokes you'll put up with.

Hell yeah

 

[PtldPlatypus]

This is awesome. Please let us know whom to blame for showing replays during live action, and the random shifts to weird camera angles during fast breaks. I'm also curious if anyone is in Calabro's ear constantly trying to remind him that he's in Portland and not Seattle.

Just tellin' you bro--you and your critiques are famous in the truck.

[riverman]

Sorry dude, but on this board you’re already that guy. Quit wasting opportunities and fanboy up!

Kept it cool--"Hey Dame, this is Chris, a Blazer fan And my guest today". Then Dame got HCP to get someone to put a game up on the jumbotron.

Dude's got pull.

Salute!

A picture is just a tool to reflect on a memory, it's the memory which is truly important!

 

[THE HCP]

You guys lose somebody???

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Just watching them capture the angles on the three made shots in that first segment was crazy complicated.

Hallmark card post of the thread!!!! Fonz brings it!

[PtldPlatypus]

Interesting to see how many screens the director/producer have to choose from.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

That’s how I roll!

For a bunch of AV dudes staring at TV screens all night long, they seemed pretty cool and open to visitors and questions.

Absolutely. Very welcoming.

Damn, @PtldPlatypus hasn't posted in almost an hour. I wonder if there was an incident?

Poor @HCP, no respect from Calabro.

"John Lakrofka on tape, and Johnny Mack on Graphics!"

Ya, the new crew haven’t quite warmed up to me the way the Mikes did.

So what happened with @PtldPlatypus? Just disappeared in the 2nd half.

 

[THE HCP]

It was great meeting Chris and having him join me tonight. Very cool guy. He is neither fat, nor red.

My boss wasn’t so sure about having one of you guys in the truck tonight. (JOKING) he has taken some heat on here from a few but said it was great to share our environment with you guys.

I gave the Kool-Aid man a quick tour and walked around the court while our guys warmed up about 90 min before tip. Just so happen to look up and Dame was there, so he took a sec to say hi to Chris and shake his hand. Dame is great with fans. Went back to the TV truck and let him see where the magic is made.

Pretty good game to visit. ALot of action and good highlights to work with. Funny thing though, as he was leaving, he said that he had heard in person that I was a really cool guy. Said that’s not true and I was as much of a prick in real life as I was on here.....so there’s that. Chris, hope you had a good time FAMS!

Found him passed out in Nurk’s locker postgame!

Never take shots with Papa Nurk at halftime!

Never take shots with Papa Nurk at halftime!

I'm pretty sure Platypus is a teetotaler.

Probably because they don't drink enough!
