Another Aussie, fan since the Bad Boys days, looking for someone to shout an airfare. One of these days I will see the Pistons live.

Josef Fritzl let me out eventually, it taught me how to lurk.

Re: Pistons board get together
I'm not sure how some of you guys in other states or even countries do meet up for these. I just live in Grand Rapids and I feel like I live in another world. I'd love to, but finding the time isn't exactly easy. Probably sounds ridiculous to some.

Re: Pistons board get together
Let's rent out one of those upper level suites at the palace... Seems like a good place to socialize and watch the game. I guess a bar works too if people want to save money...just don't pick a night when the Wings play...bars will show Wings over Pistons.

The top level suites at the Palace SUCK. They're so high up that you don't even see the arc on a shot; it looks like the ball is traveling in a straight line. Not to mention that it's going to be hard enough to pry people out of their house as it is; rolling up the cash for even a cheap suite borders on impossible.

I actually liked the upper level suite when I went last year (I'm used to upper level seats though). Yeah its high but it has its perks (private bathroom, bar service, couches). I guess if the price is too high we can scratch that idea. I thought Maker was paying anyway....

Re: Pistons board get together
Yeah, a suite would be awesome. It would just be a couple hundred a person.

Nice, I guess. But I'm an original Tick fan, i.e. I own all the original comic books.
