    ..and do a KingSpeed 101!

    HCP, if I do this, I'd love to meet you! I'd show you some good ol' Southern hospitality. If it worked out, even take you to Jillian's for some grub, pool, and a beer or two. I'd bet Wheels (perhaps even MB and/or Rice) might even join us! :D

    Game?

    I will be making this trip from DC. Already got my tickets.

    I went to the Wizards Blazers game and there were tons of Blazers fan there so you should go. We need to represent in Charlotte too!

    Would be going to the NJ and Philly games too but just started a job and its hard to ask for time off.

    Cool! On Walton's bike, no less?

    It would be great to band some of us together while there.

    Stay tuned. :)

    Could you take some crowd shots of these fans? I would like to see how many fans are out there.

    When I lived in DC I would catch the Blazers in NY, NJ, Philly and DC at a minimum. A few times I went to Boston and Charlotte. I envy you for getting to see them.

    I will see what I can do... you want pictures of everyone in the crowd or just the Blazers Fans?

    Sitting in section 102. Up towards the second level I think.

    I would like just shots of Blazer fans. Getting an interview from these fans would be asking too much but it would be really neat to get a hindsight on what made them purchase jerseys, etc and wear it proud.

    I will see what I can do as far as pictures. As for interviewing them... I will BS with the ones in my section but won't chase any down. Most of the ones near me at the Wizards game were from Portland. Most in the military and a few there for school. Guessing its going to be the same there.

    We are going to hit up a BBQ place before or after the game. Anyone have any suggestions on where we should go? Somewhere near the arena if possible.
