I love the Beach, no the mountains, no the beach!
So, if your reading this you probably want to know why a normal guy like me is such a weird superfan. Well it all started when my dad left. Actually it started before that, I was accidently born in Washington, oops did I just say that outIoud? Oh well, after my mom moved my two brothers and I to her parents house in Portland I went looking for people to look up to. I chose basketball players, seeing as how I was 4 feet tall. I remember when the Blazer's came to my grade school and had us run around the field to raise dollars for charity, each lap meant more donations. I don't think I've run with passion since. We listened to "Rip City Rhapsody" to help us pump up the jams. I immediately made my grandfather purchase me said Cassette Tape and I proceeded to play it till the little white wheels fell off. Then for desert we went to Dairy Queen and got Blizzard's and the whole set of Blazers Glasses with their pictures on them. (Does anyone have a set they want to part with to a super-fan? For alas I have lost them since then) I stayed a loyal fan as our team collapsed in 2000 against the Lakers (a memory I sorely wish to forget) and even came to games when the Jail Blazers were my "Connection". And then, something magical happened. The fans stopped coming to games! Only us die-hard fan's remained, and it meant we could buy a cheap seat and sneak up REAL close! But then KP had to go screw it all up and get some quality Baller's in here, and now, my nose bleed season tickets are running my bank account dry! The dollar is going down and I am seriously considering going to a European blog cause it's worth more!
Funny story, back when KP was coaching our team after Cheek's got fired I had a feeling this guy was too smart to stay low in the totem pole. The next pre-season I was enjoying a home game when I spotted him sitting in the stands watching the game like a scout with the eyes of an eagle. I looked around for Steve Nash or John Patterson and saw no other suits or bodyguards so I decided to go up and talk to KP for a few minutes, this was at a time when he was hardly recognizable in the organization. Apparently I was a little tipsy because I introduced myself as " Hi, I'm Kevin Pritchard". I would of have loved to chat but soon after we said hello he proceed to excuse himself, stand up, walk down directly across the arena from me, and sit back down. Needless to say I try not to get too tossed around high profile Blazer exec's these days. Well, honestly, I have to say I love this site, and my life, and wife, oh that's right, she left me for the lefty, dang you Phil Mickelson!

A Repost WITH pics finally! Andy @ the Memphis win, + poll, have you traveled for your team?

First of all, sorry to repost this but when I posted it the other night I couldn't get ALL OF MY GREAT PICS uploaded because photobucket  was down.

Andy and Adam sit in Row A in Memphis - A Recap- We won, I flew 2,300 miles to visit a friend who had moved here for Nike and had not had a friend come out and visit him. I (like LetsBlaze met up with Travis' uncles at BB kings bar after the game. They even bought me and my friend Adam (aka 503rd) a Biere!

When we arrived at the arena we walked down to our seats (Adam was able to buy row A seats for $80!) and made sure the local camera guy saw where we were sitting! Then I yelled at Mike and Mike and made sure they knew where we were sitting and Barrett promised he would get us on tv. Rice was impressed I flew that far just for the game and I was impressed he is still alive and kicking (he looks much older up close and personal)

I am going to include the original post below so the fine folks who already commented on this post get the recognition they so rightfully deserve!

I will then proceed to post so many good pics you will flip your lip.

Well I have finally made it to the Good Life. Starting a new business. Collecting Un-Employment. And of course, taking a week long trip to Memphis to hang out with my good friend from Oregon, Adam the 503rd. This was my first Blazer game away from the comfort of the Rose Garden. 2,300 miles later I was sitting in the best seats I had ever sat in, in an arena that must of had at LEAST 1,000 people there!

 

Seriously though, THIS WAS THE MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD AT A GAME! Partly because we won. Well mostly because we won, but the fact that this gorgeous arena couldn’t even manage to scrap together 1/4 attendance meant that our tickets (that would cost $150+ in Portland) cost only $80! As we walked down to our seats we saw a bunch of Travis Outlaws family waving around Giant signs so we knew we would not be the only PTB fans in the house. Being as this was my first away game i expected some of the opposing fans to be lewd and rude, but I didn’t not expect to be the victim of mulitple hate crimes. The first was when they asked me if I wanted to participate in an on-court skit at the end of the quarter. I was so excited, I walked down the visitors tunnel and then then their version of Todd Bosma (the guy who arranges these activities at the Rose Garden) told me they had decided NOT to let me do the skit, and they were going to dress up a Grizzlies fan in a Blazer jersey instead. I was hurt, but he offered me a free Grizzlie T-Shirt for me trouble. Joy! It might of have been better off because the skit involved putting a blindfold on, letting them wrap you up in double sided tape, and then they swept away the $1 bills they had laid out on the ground and let the poor sap roll around trying to collect imaginary money. The second was due to that dastard Grizzlie Bear. He pulled a ‘blaze the trailcat’ and sprayed silly string all up in my mouth and hair, oh they joy again, but at least the ENTIRE arena was watching this Blazer fan represent this site in my custom signed Blazersedge shirt!

Then there was a game as well I think.

According to their website, LeMarcus was killing it (yes, they misspelled his name), then Joel dunks, then I start focusing on trying to get a date with the realy cute Red Headed Grizzlie girl, she smiled at me alot, I think she really likes me.

At half time, we got us some more Adult beverages so we could continue to be loud and obnoxious to all the Griz fans in attendance, all 17 of them.

My words don’t do this game justice, so allow me to say what words cannot, and show you some pictures.

All in all, it was an amazing night, made all the more special by the fact we now have a winning season, AND we found a tattoo parlor right down the street from the Forum, that also serves Burgers and Beer.

Welcome to the Good Life.

the low attendance

was obvious on TV, how sad, reminds me of the Pacers problems post a few days ago (can’t remember who put it up). That is sad stuff. I kept thinking: “Man if this was in Portland those seats would all be full….” I was starting to think our team only played good in front of big crowds, feeding off the energy – so it was nice to see them kick it in an empty arena.

From the sound coming from my TV,

it sounded like there were a lot more Blazer fans than Griz fans,

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

Blazermaniac Andy, you were featured prominently on tv. During the post game report, Mike and Mike were making fun of memphis, like, well, these two blazer fans (someone with a blazermaniac andy t shirt going nuts) represented about half of the crowd here.

It was pretty much a home game

With all of Outlaw’s family there, it turned into Rose Garden East. Which wasn’t a bad thing. The Blazers played a beautiful game and it sounds like you had an awesome time! Wish I could have been there.

There was literally hundreds of people trying to hang out with me so pardon me if I can't remember all of your names,

There was the Dude, that one guy, The other guy, plus Billy the Kid, Crocodile Dundee, and of course Billy Zane.

Then there were these people...

Andy's Blog about the Season Ticket Holder party - now with Poll and MORE PICS!

Tonight was a special night, thanks to the Blazers and all the staff at the spot we went to, Can we say it was Big Al's? for providing me and my brother with memories, and juice. Oh wow did we drink a lot of juice.

It was sweet! I got to high five LaMarcus, Brandon, Travis, ! I got my shirt signed by none other than THEE Wild One Mike Rice! I played some pool with some Blazers staffer, shot some shuffleboard with this cute Blazer fan from Seattle, and, AND, have some great shots of Ben's manlove J. Bayless playing some INTENSE "Rock Band" with some lucky kids. Oh yes, he prefers to play drums compared to guitar. If you look closely at a lot of these photo's you can see me awkwardly standing in the background trying to "Hang Out" with the guys.

Then I saw it, big girl vs. BlazerDancer on Dance Dance Revolution. This tops hanging out with the players.

Look at these pics if you want to, or not.

Also, if you went to the event, share your pics! or stories, or picture stories. 

I just thought those of you who don't live in Portland would like to kind of see what the Blazers put on for us Season Ticket Holders, and how much fun it so, so go ahead, move to Portland, that's you almart1!

P.S. oh, Barrett signed my chest, awkward! That guy can fake and bake too though...Orange is SO the In color for skin right now.

Oh, and in case you want to look at the rest of the photo's you can go to:

It feels good. A kind of euphoric feeling that burns like a fire not easily extinguished. I get more and more people commenting on my blazer wall at my cubicle, it gives me something to relate to them about, thank you KP.

It has been a long and winding road, that leads, to the Rose Gardens floor. I am going saturday with a big time fan. I am going to hoot and holler, and honestly, get up stand up for my right to be proud of my team.

So...

How do they make feel?

to all the BEders out there, hear me now,

HOW DO YOU FEEL!?

Excited?! ( Do we make the playoffs? I'm thinking we win it ALL, we have thee Team)

Nervous!? ( What if collapse like last year!? aGHAgh!)

This is a little place of Blazersedge where you can recap what you remember about tonights game against the Hornet's. Or more importantly, what you don't remember. I am going to write this piece as if I had NOT gone to the game and watched Chris Paul sink shot after shot over my portland pinwheels. I will write this as if I went to the game to buy expensive beer and people-watch.

12/19/08 Junk Drawers/Quiet 52 Edition

I was at the Rose Garden tonight and I knew Brandon was having a game. I just didn't know he would have Thee game of his young career.  

My lady points up at the score board. It's still the third quarter and Brandon Roy has 35 points. As some of you might of have heard he went on to score 52 points in our victory over Shaq-Fuul and the Suns. It was the most points I have ever been able to witness scored live, and it was by far the Quietest 52 points ever. I can only recall a few plays where Mr. Roy did so much as a fist pump. So, can you recall some player scoring so many points with this little of hoopla? I don't think so.

Back to the junk.

So I got my first present to put under my tree today. I want to open it so bad, but I won't the wait only helps to build the excitement. It feels like those old tins with bandaids in them.

I went to Winco late last night and stocked up on supplies assuming I would wake up with 3 inches of snow on the ground and have had work canceled. Neither came true. Oh how I hate thee weather man.

s/ We were going to do a gift exchange at work till my looser boss suggested we donate to charity. Now I don't get my worthless white elephant I have always wanted.

My mom brought me lunch today. I love my mom. I'm not trading her for anything. What are you getting your mom for Christmas?

Oh, and Didn't Dave mention he wanted the junk drawer to become the trade drawer? So talk trades if you want, I can't think of any good one's. Wait...

The Spanish Triple Armada!?I WANT JOSE CALDERON! I am willing to trade, Blaze the Trailcat, and I'll toss in a free headband.

12/16/2008 Junk Drawer - Christmas Tree Edition

So I finally got my tree up a few minutes ago.

I decorated it with some multi-colored lights and some nice red metal globe things my mom got me for my 6 ft Noble Fir. She even gave me 5 boxes of random assorted Christmas decorations! The festivities will now include snow globes, Stockings to hang by the fire, and of course, a bunch of puffy white snowmen to adorn every random nooks and crannie.

It usually takes me a while to warm up to the Holidays for some reason. But to think it's only 8 days till the man in the red suit brings me that new Blackberry Bold i want. Oh and Santa, please for the sake of hypothermia can I also get some insulation for my house! I so desperately want, or perhaps, need it pumped into my walls and all over my attic immediately, as in, it's getting cold here in Portland hopefully preparing for a White Christmas. How cold? It's in the Teen's outside (hey for Portland that's cold!) and inside My house it was 55 degree's this morning! I can't even afford to run the furnace at night. You have to love Suburbia. They sure did build them well in 1970, but they didn't insulate for squat.

I played basketball in the snow for at least 3 hours yesterday. I only say it was this long because the neighbor kids mom's called them inside after an hour or so, and my roommate and I dueled it out in front of our house for another hour or so. The sun was down and the game was still on. As Brandon Roy says, shooting with gloves on is hard, and try as I might attempting to win the game on desperation 3's, I came up just short.

As is the lesson to be learned people.

Always stay properly hydrated when exercising outdoors in winter.

Hot Toddy your are the man.

Nov 8th Junk Drawer - least commented JD ever, just a blog I posted earlier elsewhere with a few blazer references

Ha! Made you look! Now you've waster your time reading this, you might as well read the whole thing, then comment, something original, like, I like swiss cheese.

My fellow BEdgers, to help you kill the time until the game tonight, read this,  and I will see you at the game tonight,  I will be the guy wit the fabulous smile on my face. We're gonna win baby, let's not take them for granted, but come on, we're gonna win.

I know I know the remainder of this blog belongs on myspace, good point, but I figured it had a little Blazer in it. Just like we all do. So if you like it, thanks. I think it's swell, it's todays blog, it's called.

On my new fav song, on gutters cleaning and dramatic endings, Or....
Current mood: fabulous

I'm listening to that new Death Cab song Cath. It's good...Or....Great....
I probably should be cleaning right now. It is the weekend, and I have been doing alot of, well, not cleaning. Last night was the Ozomotli show at the Crystal Ballroom. I love that place, at one point we were on jumping, and it felt like we were walking on air, so dreamy...It was hot, dang hot, and I'll be a lying sweaty pig if I didn't say I sweated, like a pig. A dancing pig if you will. (Do dancing pigs sweat?) They played the songs that make the world go round and the round asses go up and down. I had to choice but to let the music take me over, take over me, and take me to a sweaty place you can't find anywhere else. Squished into a place near the front of the stage, Cutting a rug, shaking my grove thang, Ok forget I said that last line. The Mary and Andy adventures took a random night to see the best band to dance to I have ever been to, 4 times. Even Chali 2na came with the band so they could sing their old songs from the first album I got of theirs, and they could play "Super Bowl Sunday" which is a particular song I like to bob my head and shake my face to.
Afterwards we decided to go clubbing, as usual. If you know me you know I am a big clubber, mostly golf clubs and club sandwiches, but hey, I like to try to new things so let's check out a dance club. We met some friends at the infamous hole in the wall, The Tube! Don't let the name scare you, because it did scare me away for a while, remind yourself this in the the gay-club part of town, but yeah, the drinks are cheap and although there was a cover, and it's extremely small, and it was smoking, and some of the music was suspect, it was, eh, all right. We met this couple from Brooklyn while waiting in line, they had just got in last night and say the line was smaller then the one across the street with the $10 cover to they thought they would check it out, they loved it, actually they wanted to meet back up there tonight and booze boogie. I wonder why? I think because Mary and his girl made him a manwich for a few songs, very nice. I even danced with a few strange ladies, until they saw my moves, in which case they shimmied away to a more crowded part of the room.
So what else do you want to hear about? My house? Can we talk about something else instead? No, ok, well, the cats still crap in my fireplace. I have been doing a little bit of manual labor. The house work has been coming and going in waves. Some months I do a little, perhaps a ripple, other months, the Monsoons come and I actually get something done. The problem is the Blazers season started and now I only have a few days of the week in which to focus my energy elsewhere, and then there's Blazers Courtside Monday Night so that kind of ruins the first day of the week, I don't know, I did get the gutters cleaned the other day, and I finally played Joe the Plumber and went to home depot to rent a snake drill, cleaned that baby out real good and deep, and then bam, she runs like a track star. I need to tile my upstairs bathroom STAT, and work on getting another roommate lined up because Musonda moves out at the end of this month.
Well, what I am really thinking about is tonight. Blazers versus the T-Wolves baby.
We have already had two home games, tonight is the third. Opening night, well, amazing astounding and awe insipiring! We met up with some bellow BEdgers at McFaddens and got a little pre funky. Then we got to witness history, and it still feels like a dream. The Spurs Schmurs. Welcome to the New Kids on the Block club. For our second course we were witness to the most amazing finish to a game EVER. Ever, Ever, Ever, google it, or go to Blazersedge.com to read about it. I don't have the time to write about all the points scored in the last 1.9 seconds, 8....Let's just say Brandon roy has Andy-like basketball skills, maybe, just maybe, a little better.
Let's just say tonight has a lot to live up to. We should destroy the Timberwolves of Minnesota...And the night is fast approaching
I suppose I should get to work on cleaning now......

Junky Drawers Nov 02 2008 Rec for kickbrass' birthday! & Give me your candy edition!

So, Hopefully this is the LEAST commented-most rec'd Junky Drawer in the history of Junk. But I have some important things to say, for starters, I have the internet now, It's really amazing, basically you can jump on this thing Al Gore invented anytime you want and travel to anywhere in the world and look up anything or anyone you want. Second of all, it's Sunday, the day of rest, and I didn't get much sleep because my new tenant had his girl and their baby were over last night and I was woken up to the sweet sweet sounds of crying baby! Whooo freaking whoo! So if you have ever seen had one, seen one, or been annoyed by one, rec this, and comment, and tell me about them, they trick or treated? did they save me all the butterfingers? I love those chocolately cruchy buttery flanges.

Ya'll working today? How's work going? You're like me, enjoying a re-play of last nights travesty, let the drinking begin!

Green Bay, lost, my comcast installer was a green bay fan, and an oregon state fan, so he's happy and sad.

I only care about one team, so to say the least, I am a bit distraught today, I need ALL my friends around me, commenting, talking, and mostly, rec'ing this fantastic post!

and here is a little something for the ladies, er, guys

More things, does anyone here think left over cold pizza is better then it was the night before? I do.

Who else HATES raking leaves. I am thinking about getting fake grass so I don't have to cut it, and fake tree's, so I don't have to pay someone to rake for me...

I need to add new shelves and closets to my new downstairs addition, does anyone else think they are more of a handy-andy-man more then they actually are they are sometimes?

Brandon Roy does it again, hits the 3 at half time to put us up by one in yesterday's game on replay, can I just imagine this is how the game ends...

Triple steak burrito's anyone else HATE taco bell commericals, ten times in a row?
