    Very few places open late on a weekday. Twin Peaks is open
    till midnight. Food reviews are good. Tons of TVs
    I called and they can reserve a room but that is too expensive.
    It is large enough place they thought you could have a group
    in a section ??
    Going to be difficult to find a place. Squealers open till 9

      There is no party like a Westside party because a Westside party don't stop. (At least till 11pm)

      We will be hosted at Avon Wings Ect. We have their semi private area after 6pm until they close at 11pm.

      Speaking of get togethers.... PS&E is hosting a party for the lottery at the Back 9 golf facility near downtown. I have reserved 4 seats but I have use for only 2. If you're interested in this event Tuesday... let me know!

        If I can convince Mrs. RWB we'll be happy to see old friends. Draft is June 22nd (correct)?

            Let us know if you'll make it out. Hicks will be in attendance. Also, I wanna shout out the lurkers like Jerome to come on by... it'll either be a celebration or the largest group therapy session this side of the nut house.

                FYI and hope you don't mind. I did post on Kent Sterling's Youtube channel about the PD party and made an invite to Kent in case he was out and about Thursday. Don't always agree with all of Kent's take on things but the guy is entertaining and his knowledge of basketball in general is excellent. Anyway thought it was a shot and you never know. In PD lore we almost had Billy Keller attend a party in Castleton. He asked time, place, and date but unfortunately it was the same time as one of his camps.

                  Sounds good to me. I wouldn't mind if this becomes a defacto event for those that don't want to travel up to Carmel midtown.

                  If anyone wants to toss this out over soc.... go ahead, I put a blurb on Twitter but my reach is limited.

                    Confiirmed. The Mrs. (in case other lady fans debate whether to go) will be there around the 6p start. We'll probably depart shortly after we select our first pick (sooner if KP trades for a crap sandwich). We're coming in from the THaute area so those on the fence it is well worth it just for kinship. PD has always been one of the best fan groups in the world. Big thanks to our host over in the UK (he has actually flown over to attend parties) and our creator Hicks.

                      My wife (LadyAT) will be there as well.

                      Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...

                        I know some of us discussed this at Wings, but that setup we had tonight is almost perfect for Forum Gatherings; we're off in a side area (basically a patio area that had a very nice breeze), and for as much as Squealers has been enjoyed over the years, the inability to be able to move tables has been an hindrance over recent years; Wings allowed us to move tables to fit our gathering tonight. Factor in that they apparently close at midnight on Saturdays and I think we need to consider at least adding them into the rotation.

                          It really was a good setup. Thanks to Gnome for arranging it and thanks to all at the gathering for the shared laughter and fun.

                              There were a few WTF's when the name was first called. We all, almost immediately thought it was going to be a trade. Everyone was happy with the Walker pick. Walker, Hendricks and Black were the consensus preferred picks for the Wing Etc group at #7.

                                I don't know, but I had my chair pushed up to the ledge to dive off and go run down the middle of Rockville Rd.

                                Eventhough we were going without Woj & Shams... after that announcement, we had to look!
