And Your Sign of the Night Is ...

Best Sonic Sign of the Night, Port vs OKC

If you didn't see it on ESPN.com, then perhaps you might catch it on the Seattle Times website, or the News Tribune, on Yahoo sports, or Sports Illustrated.

Congrats to former Sonic employee Matt Heuer and his two-year-old nephew Zach Rankin for cracking the sports section of virtually every major media website in the country today.

Heading down the Oregon Trail?

I've been flooded with emails and comments about Wednesday's game in Portland featuring The Team That Shall Remain Nameless. Here's my answer to everyone who has asked about it: I'm not going. I'm still serving my one-man boycott of the NBA (which I am certain will cause the league to crumble any minute now). For me, supporting the NBA in any way is like "staying friends" with a girlfriend/boyfriend that cheated on you, stole your money and burned down your house. But hey, that's just me.

In all seriousness, though, KIRO/MyNorthwest.com has asked me for some pictures from the game (especially of Supersonics fans, getting ready for the trip, holding your "Bennett Blows" signs, drunken sobbing, etc.). If you go, please take lots of pictures and send them to us (see contact info in upper right corner) and I'll post them here and forward them to KIRO.

So, who's going down to P-Town? Is there going to be a meet-up somewhere? Are you going to color coordinate? Discuss, whilst I sit in the corner clutching my Starting Lineup Xavier McDaniel figure and silently weep.

79 Finals Viewing Party?

Through my vast network of criminal masterminds sports nerds I have managed to acquire all five games of the 1979 NBA Finals on DVD. Instead of watching them in my basement and weeping in the dark by myself, I thought it might be fun to throw a Supersonicsoul 30th Anniversary viewing party somewhere in Seattle.

Would anyone be interested in this? I was thinking maybe sometime in June. If there's enough interest, I will pursue a venue (preferably one with ample booze) to house this shindig. And, if all goes well, we could possibly make this a monthly deal ('87 playoffs anyone?).
