Pistons board get together 

Post#1 » by Manocad » Wed Sep 7, 2016 11:07 pm

Ok wallflowers...let's get you out of your shells. Trust me--it's ok! We're all actually normal people. I've met half a dozen Pistons posters and about thirty OTB posters in person (no, I'm not kidding; we've met up in Vegas and other locations a number of times). Let's pick a game to either attend or just meet up and watch at a bar.

You might actually make a new friend!

In full disclosure...I live in my retired mother's basement, have a bad skin condition and BadMofoPimp took out a restraining order against me.

"So Manocad, what's your motivation in this endeavor?" Nothing more than an excuse to A) drink and B) watch basketball with people who follow the same team I do. Plus I have a really cool van and free candy.

I feel like Manocad would just get drunk and starting trying to kick everyone's ass.

No one's inviting Maker, are they?

LOL...get drunk, for sure. But I wouldn't have 30+ friends made from this website if I was trying to kick everyone's ass.

Not that I couldn't, mind you. Just so that's clear.

Real life meet up? To dangerous. I could end up having to talk with Todd somehow and I might have to choke him with my KCP jersey.

I'm down. I think I'd prefer a day at the Palace myself.

I don't expect much out of this; I've been a member here for over 10 years and the Off Topic Board seems to be the only board where people aren't afraid to walk out of the house. But like I do every few years, I throw it out there.

I'd be down, but I'm too far away to make it affordable. I want to hear the stories afterwards, though.

My personal suggestion is a Beerfest or Microbrew festival. I have partied with Manocad at one of these before and nothing like going around to try Microbrews with a crew full of jokers.

I'll be down for one or two regular season games. Coming from Toronto. So I'd be up for meeting some of you fools ;)

Not a big bar guy (either TV is to small for my bad eyes or you can't hear ****)

But I wouldn't mind going to a game,as long as were sitting somewhat close to the floor.

Been there, done that. Met up with the Australian OTB guys for a week in Gold Coast in 2010.
