Event Thank you Blazers & everyone who went tonight!

[PtldPlatypus]

Well, if any Blazers brass reads this:

Many thanks from this lifetime Portland resident and fan for the opportunity to participate in such a special atmosphere and experience. It's not hard to find a sports bar to watch a game in. It's not hard to get tickets to the Moda. It's not hard to join an online community of Blazer fans. But to combine all those, in a luxury suite, to attend one of the best games I've ever seen, through the generosity of the franchise we've all supported for decades...well honestly, it can't really get much better than that, now can it?

Thank you Trail Blazers, for creating (what at least feels like now) a-once-in-a-lifetime experience for a bunch of crazy internet posters. Let's do it again soon!

No sweat. I know the bar manager there and saw him inside. He let me in through the parking lot entrance and even gave me a beer after they closed at 9pm while I waited for my wife.
Thanks again for the lift!

Cool...now I know a guy who knows a guy...always wanted to use that phrase

Thank you BLAZERS!!
It was an awesome game (thank you Dame) and being able to view it from the suite with this forum gang made it especially memorable.
Much appreciated!

Off Topic: Some might remember the couple who were given the skateboard during a time out. Here's a good look at it for those who haven't seen this picture.

Special Edition Blazers skateboards

Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS

Flipped over on the other side the grip tape has "Rip City" etched into it. Lucky couple who were gifted the board by the organization. I don't remember what their accomplishment was, maybe really long time season ticket holders?

I was hoping they would have these boards for auction at the Ronald McDonald charity event this year, but nope. I wonder if maybe they are all spoken for and will be given away like they did last night.

 

[Orion Bailey]

He DOES read the boards?! :MARIS61:

Wait... if we were in a rap on Rip City 620.... does that mean one day we will be in a Dame Dolla rap?!

Oh shiiiiiit.

I bet if we starting writing lyrics Lillard will record them.

Orion hit it

Time to get the thread back up and runnin!!!

Who took who home?

Home? We had a private bathroom, We just took 5 minute rotations. One night stands like this are more like one hour stands anyhow.

So this was a complete blast!!! To be the loudest suite on our half of the building was a testament to how hard core we are!!!

We had Tankers and Homers in the same room all cheering as loud as we could for Lillard time and an incredible win!!!!
A time to never forget partying with my fellow Zeros!!! Seeing as how the suites are, Next time, some how, some way, I think we need two suites next to each other....except then hazmat team may need to be be called in after we leave...

 

[Orion Bailey]

Sly, Denny,

Thank you much for organizing this, but we all know you wouldn't be able to do shit if we didn't have such an awesome, generous team to root for!!!

A special thanks to any and all Blazers who may read this. One of a kind class act to your fans and that's why we fill the stands and stay till the end whether its a losing season, winning season, whatever. Top notch organization, I am proud to be a fan of!!!

Thanks again!!!

 

[BBert]

I've thanked them in every other thread, but I can't thank the Blazers enough.

It was great. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

You couldn't have bestowed this upon a greater, more enthusiastic, or more appreciative group of fans.

RipCityTwo Represent!

Go Blazers!
