Announcement: BlogABull draft party
Alright, I'm going through with this, even if it winds up with me either getting crank-called by PaxJax or stabbed by JoeJoe: The second annual BlogABull draft gettogether is on.
I kid, last year was a lot of fun, and that was with fifteen or so people attending. Site readership has grown a lot since then, so I'm expecting even more this year. Whether that's good or bad I'm not sure...
Location has been designated (unlike last year, this was decided unilaterally by me) as Union Park, which is on the near West Side and actually quite close to the United Center. So we can storm the place after they trade the pick and a future first for Nick Collison. It's a nice place with plenty of TVs, quality drinks, good food menu. May seem like an odd choice to you trendy northsiders out there, but I feel pretty good about it.
Quite easy to get to: Blue Line Racine stop if you're going by train. For the driving, it's close to several of the major expressways and unlike some other neighborhoods there's parking to be had. You all have google maps at your disposal, but if you need help leave a comment and I'm sure there's plenty of direction experts here to help.
Please let me know in the comments or by email if you plan on attending. I'd like some sort of rough estimate before the big night.
In case you needed reminding: Draft is next Thursday (6/28) and coverage (if not picks) starts at 6pm Central.

We'll have to get a post going for those of us
For some reason, I'm having trouble drumming up interest in the Bulls draft party - Oklahoma division.

I live in New York.
I was talking with a buddy about catching the draft live, but I couldn't easily locate tickets. As it turns out, I'm pretty sure I can't make it, but I'd love to know for next year.

That sounds fun.
I'm in Jersey now, but work in NYC. How can we get into MSG for $15? If that's possible, I'm in.

Draft at MSG
Most of the NBA corporate partners get tickets for free, and the number of seats for the fans are pretty limited. Good luck!

Union Park is a pretty hip place, actually.
As anyone can tell if they follow the link, it is owned by the same guys who operate Grand Central, which is about a block fom my place. For the sake of you single guys, I hope the females at UP Thursday are of the same caliber as the ones who frequent GC on weekends.
It's a good pick. I would be there in a heartbeat, but I have to be in D.C. for work.

What PaxJax is like outside Blog-A-Bull will unfortunately remain a mystery for me.

I'd just like to point out
You know, Bill Wirtz has kept an NHL team out of Milwaukee for years now. It's nice to see he's doing the same to Chicago.
