    Jeff Curtain, Wheeler, @HCP , @SlyPokerDog: Big thanks to all for setting this up.

    It was so interesting to hear these insider tidbits and anecdotes. The tour was amazing. And it was cool to meet a bunch of the posters of this forum again.

    Overall, it was an absolute blast! Sorry to those who had to miss out.

    So you guys managed to do this thing without losing anybody or breaking any laws? Impressive.

    Wish I could have made it.

    What an awesome experience. Thanks to Sly (I was lookin' for ya as we were leavin to say it in person) for putting this together, and for Wheels to be so gracious with his time and his stories. HCP is just a really, really good dude. Thanks for the chat and the tour, friend! And a special apperance by the one Jeff Curtain!

    So many insights, so many stories. Thank you to all of you.

    They wondered why you blindfolded them on the way there and on the way out

    First and foremost thank you to those who made this event possible.

    Also I would urge anyone to reconsider next time if they decided not to go just because they weren't sure about it. I'm pretty sure nobody walked away from tonight wishing they hadn't gone.

    I'm a huge Wheels fan...one day I'll make one of his meet and greets..he is my play by play guy for most Blazer games and really makes a fan feel like he's in your living room watching the game with you...that's a rare skill..I grew up listening to all sports on the radio and Wheel's has a great, old school delivery
