Silver and Black Pride: 2010 NFL Draft Day Party: Ideas

PrintWith the NFL Draft right around the corner, I figure that this year I will get together a definite plan. As some of you will recall, last year I assumed that we would just all go to Ricky's, only to find out that they get rented out for a private event every year, so at the last minute I called the Warehouse and he moved it there.
I had a great time with those of you who made it and will never forget the feeling of tequila warming my body while my heart was sinking as the name, Darius Heyward Bey, was read aloud. I will also never forget you guys for trying to comfort me.
According to wikipedia, the NFL Draft wil have a new format this year:
On July 23, 2009, the NFL announced that the 2010 Draft would adopt a three-day format, with the first three rounds held during prime time. The first round will be held on Thursday, April 22; the second and third rounds will take place on Friday, April 23; and the last four rounds are scheduled for Saturday, April 24
So, here are some ideas, off of the top of my head:
I think that it should be a 3 day affair.
Thursday Night: 1st Round Cocktail Party in San Francisco at The AT&T Park Sports Bar with Fooch and Niners Nation.
Friday: La Estrellita/Warehouse/Pacific Coast Brewery
Saturday: BBQ @ my house/local park, Pacific Coast Brewery or Luka's in Oakland.
SBN is setting up a T-Shirt store where we can design our own shirts, buy and sell them. I want to take advantage of this for the Draft.
We can make shirts for each person we want to draft in the first round. Plug the Middle DRAFT McClainl!!! Dam the Line DRAFT Campbell!!! Stuff like that.
I also want to see if we can get any former or current players/members of the organization to attend. I like the idea of moving it around so that we can experience different places and also develop relations for future events.
Next year I want to get a traveling road circus together for away games. Thoughts?

NFL Draft
Blah, the new format sucks. It conflicts with baseball. Instead of planning around one day, you have to plan around multiple days. I’m glad the Yankees-Athletics game will be over by the time the first round starts and the Indians-Athletics game should be starting after the second and third rounds conclude. It’s just so much easier when it’s all on a Saturday with the leftovers on Sunday.

I actually like the format:
It gives me time to digest the picks from day to day and look over the leftovers and talk strategy one more day.
I will be heading directly to the party from playing drums at the Yankee game!!!
It is all about coming together as a team. At the end of the day, the team is all we have. - T. Branch 10-14-09

I really don't care about the format
All I care is for Al to draft a good player and not fuck anything up.

I believe that you share in the general sentiment of this entire Community:
With the second part of your statement.

We’ll be there again this year…especially if it’s in SF…we live real close to AT&T park so that will work out great! Great idea having it in different places to get to know other raider fans all over.
yeah i had a great time year last year too at the wearhouse
i dont like the new format. dont know if i can make it this year since i get off late during the week. thanks for the shots saint.
Dunno if I would wear a t-shirt with so many names of "could have beens"
I think Al Sucks shirts would go over much better.
HAHAHAHA!!!
I would have loved a DRAFT CRABTREE shirt to wear last season!!! That shirt would have made you famous in the second half!!!

How can they possibly top last year's
epic pick of DHB. ESPN also has to prep for how they will trash the Raider pick as well, yeah, I don’t know about partying for that, but it will be interesting…
No more raining on BN's rainy parade, they took their ball and went home, lmao.
