Draft Party??? 

Post#1 » by Winter Wonder » Mon Jun 23, 2008 9:27 pm

Seems that we are all foaming at the mouth for this draft and any trades that may be included with the event. Out of curiousity (and since I no longer have cable), has anyone heard of any draft parties not at the target center but around the Twin Cities? I'll probably just head to a friends house or a local establishment, but wanted to know if anyone had heard of any events or deals, etc. for Thursday night.

Thanks in advance for any info. I would prefer to not drive too far, so St. Paul side or suburbs would be preffered.

Wish I could go. Maybe my marketing professor will let us out early or cancel class.

That was my understanding too, but it doesn't mention any price here.

I hear repeatedly chanting "OJ Mayo" followed by five claps really strengthens the core.

It's definately free. I just got an email from my ticket rep saying to rsvp, I don't know why though, I thought you could just walk in like last year. Maybe it's some type of VIP or something.
