Really cool. If I lived in Portland, I'd go to that. Then watch the game again when I got home!

Very cool! Does anyone else remember watching games at the Paramount?

I just may have to bring the wife and kids to this tomorrow night.

My parents used to go to those all the time! We should do something like that again.

Sweet Action! Did this last year, was a blast.

One of the best theaters to watch in Portland is The Mission, Mcmenamins

Have to go to dinner with my Aunt at 6 tomorrow, really wanted to go have a few drinks that that Blazer Bar near the Rose Garden before going to watch the game at the Rose Garden. Oh well looks like a 6 pack of dead guy and going to my brothers house to steal his DVR and watch the game at 11 Saturday. Gotta figure out someway to not know anything that happens before I get to watch the game.

Oh, good luck with that. There is no way you are going to avoid hearing about that game until 11:00 p.m.

Anyone going to this thing tonight?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Going to depend how early I get done with the goings-on this afternoon - if I have time I'll be racing over there.

I hope they do this again next round! Unfortunately I've got plans this evening and won't see the game until the 4th quarter probably.
