    Tonight I got to go the Heritage dinner before the game. Cho, Larry Miller, MB, Rice, Shonz, Dale Schulter, Terry Porter, Antonio Harvey and HCP's boss were there.

    A few random things...

    I congratulated Terry Porter tonight becoming the new Rebecca Haarlow. He laughed and then I asked him about his new job. He won't be traveling with the team. Will only be the sideline reporter for home games. Classy guy!

    I ran into HCP's boss, I said, "Hi, I meant you at the Wheels Meet and Greet" He replied, "I know who you are, you're SlyPokerDog, you're here with Lanny." He then quoted a few other posts of mine from on here. Not sure if I should be honored or creeped out, lol. I guess I'll go with honored.

    Talked with Cho and had my picture taken with him again. He actually remember that I had my picture taken with him before, lol. When I told him that I was looking forward to the Meet and Greet next week he gave me this blank look like he didn't know what I was talking about.

    I've had my picture taken with Shonz numerous times and he's always very enjoyable to talk with. Tonight I did something different and took a picture of his Blazer championship ring. He laughed and was proud to show it off.

    Tonight's dinner was for people who have been season ticket holders for 20+ seasons. What was the gift the Blazers gave these long term fans? Small black knit gloves that were made in China. They barely fit my girlfriends hands.

    Paul Allen sat courtside tonight. Patty Mills sat on the floor in front of him for most of the game, reminded me of Princess Leia sitting in front of Jabba The Hut.

    Antonio Harvey still hasn't fired LeGarie as his agent and gets nervous when talking about it.

    Do you think Cho will show? So no? Though if Cho fails to show, the show must go...on.

    ...It would be merciful to Antonio Harvey if you stopped asking him.

    Antonio is cool. I only ask him because of a conversation we had at a Blazer game last year where he told me KP's job was safe and LeGarie is a misunderstood nice guy.

    Also Jerry Sloan looks and acts like an old man. He's kind of hunched over now. I think I heard him yell at a ref to "Get off my lawn!"

    Cho probably doesn't call it the Meet and Greet. Probably Meet the Peasants or something.

    Yeah, Sloan's wife died and he lives only for the game. His hair looks like a silver toupee.

    Great coach. Has he made the HOF yet? If not I think he should.

    He's beaten the Blazers about 80 times in a row, so his number should be hung up in the Rose Garden.

    I was sitting behind all of them and Patty would disappear pretty easily. Tone needs to man up!

    Sounds about right with the gloves. Went to the chalk talk last year and they had stale red ropes with a pitcher of water on the tables. I thought it was a challenge and the first person to finish got a prize.

    Had to change my signature though since they were shooting quality shirts this time with the Tshirt cannon.

    Wow, that actually is a cool t-shirt for cannon shooter. The one I got once was really cheap and said Standard Insurance. Not even a Blazer logo on it.

    This was the other shirt I have gotten. Others I have seen were a lame promotion from Comcast, a commemoration of a dodgeball event that happened during halftime, and one that would have been a tight fit on my two year old. Blimp is no better since one was for a free app after the purchase of an entree at Typhoon and the other a rally towel.

    Oh, one more thing, I've always been a huge Buck Williams fan but that bow tie he was sporting last night made him look like Uncle Ben.

    Not a good look.

    It was all location. Got the Taco Bell shirt in MGB's seats and rate them very high for in game swag. Very large target and only a few people to fight since it is a handicapped section.

    I have wore it twice as a good luck undershirt, once for the Roy comeback game 4 and the elimination game 6. If you think you can cram it into a large, it is yours on the condition you wear it next time you think you will be on the Jumbotron.

    I would love to see HCP in a large shirt!!! Of coarse I guess I have since he wore his own large shirt to the Wheels M&G.
