The Rippy Awards! Meet and Greets w/ Wheels and Casey

[SlyPokerDog]

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!

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Nice job sly.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

MAKE IT THE WEEKEND AFTER THANKSGIVING

 

[BlazerCaravan]

That's pretty damn awesome. Who's lap did you have to nuzzle to get that arranged?

 

[Strenuus]

Is this an exclusive meet and greet? How would one attend? Because i'd be so down.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

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.

I'm still waiting for your $50 Top Tier certification fee.

Cool. I'm down. Just make it on a Friday night for us college folk, that's all I ask. lol.

I'll send Mai Ling over instead.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Hmmm... tell me more about this Mai Ling.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Mai Ling is me in drag.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You live closer to Denny, you should just go there instead.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

IS PAPA G INVITED?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

IS PAPA G INVITED?

To Denny's?

Sure!

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

social media invites would make it suck

 

[Strenuus]

social media invites would make it suck

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

 

[THE HCP]

Wait a sec, it's a GOOD thing to meet Casey? What about Blaze?

 

[THE HCP]

Who's the guy on here that gets pissed off and offended every time somebody cracks on my wife?

Your wife?

 

[Denny Crane]

To Denny's?

Sure!

Of course he is.

 

[Minstrel]

PapaG is likely going to win some awards, so he should be there.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Sly said we shouldn't include awards that make fun of the winner, though.

Don't be so obtuse, man. We don't take cracks on your wife. We all love your wife.

But, we do take cracks at you, FAMS.

Reminds me of the old poker saying. "If you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you."

I take cracks OF his wife. She has so many to choose from...

 

[Eastoff]

I got a baby boy now, but I'm pretty sure I can rope my wife into solo watching while I go to both events! Wheels is always a great guy, and I'm pumped to hear new stories and insight from Casey!

If you haven't been to one of these Meet and Greets before, you must go once! Wheels always gives us hush-hush, top secret stories/info that we are sworn to keep secret. Most of it isn't too shocking, but one story really changed how I feel about a former player.
