    Curious.

    Me? Strongly considering Big Al's. It's my 15th wedding anniversary, but the wife has graciously allowed me to watch the draft..........................with her. Actually, she really likes that place. :ghoti:

    If I were going to drive to Portland just to watch the draft, I would head to the Broadway Cigar Lounge in the Hollywood district. No booze - but leather chairs and couches, free coffee, and (of course) excellent cigars.

    As is, I will probably just watch ay home. :sigh:

    drafts need to be watched at a computer with 4-5 windows opened to various rumor sites.

    Absolutely. That said I'll most likely have my laptop with me @ Big Al's

    :cheers: that's the way to do it.

    I'll probably be in my office for most of the first round, stuck in traffic when the Blazers pick.

    Bummer.

    Looks like we'll get there in time to dine and enjoy libations while watching the Blazers' 1st Round and top two 2nd Round picks. She wants to go bowling there following that. Should be a rather fun evening..................

    Friend Courtney is coming over... so very unlikely I'll be able to watch it. Don't think she cares too much.

    I'll be watching with 4-5 friends at my house, but I'll have my laptop with me for rumors. Beer + Draft = Fun.

    I'm taking off work early, grilling some ribs, lounging around in my Lazy-Boy and taking it in without inturruptions. ABM, you're welcome to swing by.

    Use an online stream! Sure you will be finding out what's happening 15 seconds later than the rest of the civilized world, but at least you will get to watch it.

    I'll be home, watching. And preparing to drink (in celebration or in disappointment... booze wins either way) afterwards.

    So, really, the only difference between a draft under Nash and a draft under Pritchard is how the hang-over feels the next day?

    I'm prepared to end Thursday without a new player. I don't think we're going to use any of our picks with the exception of perhaps stashing one in Europe for a few years.

    That being said, I'll be listening to 95.5 The Game on the web all day waiting for Blazer news. At night, I'll watch the draft with my son.

    Especially if it is your anniversary, might I suggest dot donuts across the parking lot from Big Al's? A former employee of my stepfather owns it and it is very good.
