im in new zealand and cant even go to the events or anything fuck. im also the only person around here rocking any Blazers gear at all, im carrying a whole damn franchise in this mofo of a country..... BUT it is awesome here...
Yeah. You get to see the world's greatest rugby teams and at regular viewing hours too! I'd say that's pretty awesome.
yeah, it has its high points i used to like like a 3 min walk from Eden Park. I regularly see All Blacks out n about too, super approachable peeps. One day imma put up some shots of my Stoudamire card collection too - if there are any collectors around they'll appreciate the collec'. if i knew how much $ id spent on it, i'd probably sui...
Saw Damon at a movie theater I used to work at once. Couldn't believe how short he was. But if you see any of the All-Blacks out and about you just get their autographs for me. He he he.
I don't expect anything from this forum. I never though I'd get an opportunity to meet Brian Wheeler and tour the Blazers studio just from posting messages in a goddamn forum. I don't expect anything, but since were tossing out ideas, how bout these: Maybe realistic? -Lamar Hurd Meet and Greet -(Any Player) Meet and Greet -More Ticket Giveaways -Team Store Discount/Coupon Giveaways -Locker Room Tour (Probably not, but its something I would absolutely love) Very Unrealistic (but expected): -RipCityTwo Full Court Pickup Game at Moda Center -Trail Blazer Commercial Appearances -Trail Blazers Courtside Guest Appearance Opportunities with John Canzano as a host (fuck that asshat) -RipCityTwo Yacht Parties (on Paul Allen's yacht) -Discounted Concessions (cuz goddamn) Now of course, I don't expect anything, even the things that are actually doable. To expect free stuff or favors is rude and to give Sly a hard time because "there's not enough free shit" is wrong. There's only so much he can do and he seems to be willing to ask for some stuff even without much of a chance the front office will say yes.
I feel like some swag is in order for loyal members. I've been here for over 8 yrs, and being out of town I don't get to go to the meet and greets unfortunately. One of those free shirts they toss with the cannons will do! Or hell, even some decals or pennants to pimp out my new crib! I can pay for shipping to Indy.
What size shirt are you? If you are a small guy we will make sure its a XXXL, if you are a big guy we will make sure its a XS just for realistic purposes.
FWIW, the Blazers have been great partners. The people we deal with are super nice and skilled at what they do. They link to the forum from their site. I cannot stress enough how much value that is to a message board. This is almost, alone, enough to make the partnership worthwhile for us. We do generally get what we ask for. No, we're not going to get locker room access. We can't get a writing team on this site to actually write, nor can we get one that makes a blazersland kind of site that doesn't fizzle out after the shiny newness wears off. Otherwise, if you have ideas for things you want from the Blazers from the partnership, feel free to suggest them. As I said, we generally get what we ask for, within reason. Last season, guys in the forum talked about chipping in to pay for a luxury suite for a game. I was able to get that from the Blazers for free. Their hospitality was downright awesome. Being a naysaying naybob of negativism isn't very productive.
