Fooch, a thought?

by sundaysfinest on Mar 24, 2009 7:23 PM PDT

We are 1 month away from the draft, and I know that ALL of us here at NinerNation are looking forward to it. I don't really know what the majority of the members here are doing that day, my question, to you Fooch, is the possibility of having a NinerNation draft party!!! I think that would be awesome to have, but like I said I don't know the real possibilty since the fanbase is kinda broad in terms of mileage. I just wanted to throw this out to you, and of course I'm curious as to what the NinerNation thinks of it.......

Draft Party

I’m definitely intrigued by the idea. I’m definitely open for ideas on this. How many people would be interested in something like this?

would it be something along the lines of a game day thread

or are you talking about an actual meet-up party?

He’s talking about some sort of chat-box.

But we could wear party hats and stuff!

Those harbinger make me smile more than the fracture of Manny on the teammate.
Get important hitting.

Sports Bar Thread

It’s still around, although the comments are temporarily closed on it. If you look on the left column of the front page, down just above the All-Time team, you’ll see a link for it. We’ll definitely open up the comments again for people to discuss possible meet-ups.

gameday thread/chat-room

make a live chatroom and we can all go in there and talk about who we drafted and how many beers we have consumed haha

an actual place to meet?

that would be nice… but where?

Recommend

That you pick 3/4 sports bar and vote on it. Hope they do one during the season in VEGAS!!!!!

i think

there are ways to have a live chatroom on here like a link to a chatroom. i see it all the time on myspace. But i personally dont know how to do it

by 49ersAllTheWay on Mar 24, 2009 9:13 PM PDT reply actions

chats

First I actually think he meant meeting at a place (thus the mention of mileage).

However, no matter what we do outside of here, we’ll have a live draft thread (probably several actually over the course of two days). For those who’ve never been here for a live thread, comments automatically update without having to refresh the thread so it’s practically a live chat. It’s one of the best additions they made a year ago when they upgraded the blogging platforms.

So basically, people will be able to come in here and chat the entire day in real time. Anybody who’s been around game threads will know what I’m talking about.

cool

yea i dont really go on live chats for games (so i didnt know about NN live gamethreads) cuz i like to actually watch the full live game and not have the distraction of typing. but for the draft im all for it. B.Y.O.B!. p.s. yea i actually thought he meant going to a meet up at a place too cuz he put “mileage” but i think thats weird seeing as i think we all live in different parts of the U.S.

sounds fantastic

It was "mascot night" at the Rose Garden, which apparently translates to a dozen inflatable versions of various NBA mascots being chased around the arena by Portland's "Blaze", which is some breed of rapist dog. -PostingandToasting

if we're talking about actually meeting up

I would have to pass – I have a tradition of getting together with some buddies to drink and watch the draft. Sometimes that also means participating in the open thread while inebriated, which is quite a show.

Why?

Why does it have to be one or the other? Most bars have wifi, and most people have cell phones that can get online. I’m in Sacamento and wouldn’t mind meeting up with other’s in the area and hitting up a bar so we can scream at the screen when the Lions pick Crabtree #1. LOL. Hit me up at sean.huddleston@yahoo.com if anyone is interested.

I wish there was any kind of bar here

not to even mention a sports bar! It is illegal to buy or sell alcohol in this part of Alaska, so we have to order it, and they fly it in. At least it is not like most villages here, where it is illegal to possess. But I would be all for meeting somewhere if I lived in California. Maybe I could start a 49ers “Social Club…”

Alaska is a state, dammit! Can I get a Niner game on TV up here?
