OTPOTW 10/11 Jan, Drunken guitar edition

coolguyrob — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 20:27:09 -0000

Back by popular demand it's the weekend edition of the OTPOTD for the weekend and all. Hopefully all the folks are finding out a bunch of cool shit at the USSM/LL event that us porr unfortunate souls are unable to attend. That's all drunken Rob has got. OK, that wasn;t long enough so let me ask a couple of questions that I think I already asked in my tags - What are you're guilty pleasures as for as music goes? We all have great taste in music but what about those of us that just love to sing along with Beyonce even though we know it's canned for the masses? Yeah, we know it is. But it's still damn fun to sing along at the top of your lungs. Speaking of Beyonce, I can't get enough of Irreplaceable.

Help please

As some of you know, I'm currently stationed in Islamabad, Pakistan. Fun place, you all should put it right at the top of the list of places to see before you die. Anyway, I'm subjected to the whims of the Armed Forces Network in regards to seeing my Blazers play. And of course they've deemed to Bull vs. Heat game more important than the Blazers vs. Celtics, so will be showing that instead. Do any of you know of any websites that broadcast the game so that I'll be able to watch us stomp the Celtics instead of just reading Dave's awesome write-up about it? Thanks. coolguyrob(at)hotmail.com

The House is rockin!!!

OH MY GOD!!!! I wish I had the words to describe how freaking awesome it was to be at the Garden last night. I can't imagine how intimidating it must feel to be the visiting team when the entire crowd is chanting de-FENSE at the top of their lungs with one united voice. I swear the building was shaking. What a great game and what a great win for our beloved team! I think I might have permanent vocal chord damage. I hope that I heal in time for the game next Friday when I'll be at the Garden again watching our boys stomp yet another team.

8 straight!!!

I got to watch my first Blazer game in a very long time this morning. I'm currently stationed in Islamabad, Pakistan and have been overseas for most of the last 12 years. So you might guess that watching the Blazers is a very rare treat for me. So I have a couple of comments for you guys based on what I saw.

First - Holy crap do we look young!! I mean I knew that we're the youngest team in the NBA and all, but I guess it really didn't hit me until I saw them finally. It was like watching a college game.

Secondly - The Rose Garden looked really tame on TV. Maybe the camera was just panning the wrong sections, but it really seemed like everyone was just sitting there ho-hum about the whole affair. Is this typical fan behavior? Or am I just seeing things? I've got tickets to next Friday's game and you can believe I'll be going nuts with beer-fueled Blazermania!
