Expatriate Blazer Fans

I've started this thread already for those of us in the Phoenix area, and it seemed like folks in other cities were interested, too.

So let's set it up like this. If you're a Blazer fan living outside Portland, and you would like to watch games with other Blazer fans, then post your city name as the subject, possibly with a suggestion on a centrally located sports bar.

Then, other denizens of that city can join in underneath that thread.

Any Other Portland Expats in Phoenix?

I'm a Portlander stuck in Phoenix for a few years.

That's bad enough, but I've been stuck watching every Blazer game this season alone, either at home or at a bar with NBA TV. I'm always the only one there, so I'm lucky to get audio, and lately there's been a scattering of D-Backs fans cheering loudly over meaningless singles in the first month of the season.

I figure there have to be more displaced Blazer fans down here, andI figure I want to watch my team with them.

So here's the deal: I watch the games at Hazelwoods, at 3626 E Indian School Rd,
Phoenix, AZ 85018. They've got some good, cheap bar food, a whole bunch of TVs, a decent enclosed patio, and decent beer selection (by Phoenix standards...they at least have a nice, hoppy Big Sky IPA). I don't watch every game there, and I'm worried about tonight since it's a Friday, but I wouldn't mind hooking up with some other Portlanders to watch our team take back homecourt advantage.

If you're down here with me, let me know.
