    I was. Every bit of news footage with me in it either has only my shirt or the back of my head! Cheers to the KTRK boys who managed to immortalize BOTH. :D

    I was there... there's probably footage of me getting trampled by the dancers. ;) I was in the very front and left when the announcement was made, and I had no clue that there was going to be that celebration. I almost got run over in the stampede. I might've talked to a few of you guys without knowing it... I was the guy in the white authentic Francis jersey.

    as mumu said, i was there with him. we tried to re-kindle a little bit of the luck we had back in '92 when we proceeded to boo a certain fresh prince of LA in favor of HAROLD MINOR??!! what was i thinking?

    bad news though... i personally didn't boo any of our picks, that can't be good.

    novak: good talking rox with you and your bud. i told you i'd start posting again.

    I was there. I went around asking random people if they were members here. The only person I could find was TheSummit, which was cool, but I was really hoping to meet a bunch of you guys.

    Hey Cat I think I saw you. I believe there was only one guy there with an authentic white Francis jersey. I was a short stocky bald filipino guy in a plain blue t-shirt and jeans. I was there with a few friends in the upper left corner (one of my friends with me is in a wheelchair). I was on TV! Woohoo! Haha! I had so many flashes in my eyes, I could have sworn I was a movie star.:D

    Yeah I met Lynus there, he's a cool guy. I was hoping to meet a bunch of members there but I didnt have much success. I was wearing a red Steve Francis jersey. I got asked about it probably 10 times, I got it off ebay, I have no idea where it came from but it looks sweet. It is the new design only in red, looks better then the white or blue they have now IMO.

    I saw The Cat there, I remmber the authentic home uni, looked sweet. Did anyone win anything from the trivia? I scored a draft cap and a t shirt.

    I know the general fan base does not really follow basketball like the clutchcity fans, but geez....booing draft picks is unintelligent and quite frankly bad sportsmanship!!!!

    I cannot believe people booed nachbar! this guy has been talked about for weeks and even the casual reader would have seen this guy talked about....50% of those folks there could not even name half of the current roster....but i guess this is what we get when we have the number one pick..
