Event Do you all want to get together and watch the draft lottery on May 16th?

[KingSpeed]

$1143 for 2!

 

[theprunetang]

Actually that was out of NYC. If we fly out of PDX, the whole trip is only $1500. Can you guys get off work?

I have unlimited paid leave, so that part is fine. This is just probably bad timing for me, as I just paid off some large bills, and am kind of starting from scratch on savings right now. Like I said, I could go if someone helped me along, but I'm just not solid financially right now. It is what it is. Haha

I was in Afghanistan during the 2007 lottery.
Not going back sorry.

Thanks for your service!

If I were the Blazers, I’d go with Brandon Roy (they won last time with him and they have some goodwill they need to generate), Jerami Grant (show of confidence that he’s returning), or Oden (they guy they picked #1).

[SharpeScooterShooter]

I’m serious. Fly on the 13th. Stay 3 nights at Royal Kona Resort. $2227 total for the 3 of us. We have to make sure we’re in the air during lottery on the 16th and we can’t find out til we check my voicemail when we land. Hmm

Wow you are all in!
Spouces? Doubt i can go to hawaii aNd leave the wife at home. Not sure the number one pick is worth indefinite couch sleeping.
But we have never been to hawaii, so this is seriously intriguing.
Saturday-tuesday?

I give him as much love as he gives the fans, city and team

 

[tykendo]

I think Sharpe is going to be the representative.

 

[illmatic99]

I think Sharpe is going to be the representative.

Joe said(On marangs interview) they know who it will be and are coming up with a special announcement to the fans/media. Shaedon would be special but don't think he'd be interested.

I'm guessing Jody. Even if she is a recluse, think this would be up her alley.

Hope it's Shae.

 

[Shaboid]

They should get someone famous. Maybe Travis Outlaw.

So is that 3 or 4 of us for Hawaii trip?

I'm always into going to Hawaii.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Hawaii draft party on a plane sounds awesome. Not sure how I convince the wife we need to do that with the two little kids.

In fact, I was in Hawaii when Dame hit the .9 shot. A friend of mine was there and we had met up to watch the game at a bar on the beach. The crowd was stuffy but we were quiet and respectful. With me were two bored kids and with my friend a bored fiance. Anyhow, we had lost, everyone knew it, and we were signalling the waiter to assist us in drowning our sorrows.

And then, the shot that we've all watched dozens of times. We freaked the fuck out, jumping up and shouting and high fiving. Looking around the crowd wasn't pleased. I had sent my chair hurtling across the bar. "My apologies, my apologies," I said to an expressionless woman as I retrieved it. Then came the replay and we did it all again.

"We will always have Hawaii," we've said to one each other a few times in the years since...ah, Hawaii...

I was at the ESPN Zone at Disneyland and my kids were pissed that we hadn't gone to see the fireworks. The place went absolutely nuts when he hit the shot. Super cool memory for me anyway.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Yep

Welp. I mentioned this to the wife last night. She said she cant make it. But i should go. I sometimes take things for granted snd forget i married a keeper.

But wouldn't you want to be with the same people you were with last time to replicate everything? Would bringing people that weren't with you last time be a jinx?
