2005 Tip Off Luncheon -- Who else wants to go?

[Old School Chic]

It's been confirmed that this years San Antonio Spurs Tip Off Luncheon will be on Monday October 24th at the Marriott River Hotel.

Hope to see everyone there!

I went last year and It was awesome... :elephant

[batman2883]

do we get autographs?

[Old School Chic]

If you are lucky enough to sit by the guys, yes you may have an autograph and a quick pic with them.

Actually, at the Tux N Tennies dinner you can mingle a little better with the players.

[angel_luv]

In case I can go, is there a way to make sure we forum folks are at the same table?

[boutons]

I went last year:

http://photobucket.com/albums/v501/..._10_22/?start=0

Last year the team/staff entered last (after we were all seated), and left first (while we were all still seated), almost no way to mingle, autographs with team. Sean and Tony did extremely professional and hilarious MC jobs. I expect Bones might get some mic time. This year, as NBA Champs rather than 0.4- second victims, the atmosphere should be fantastic.

The 9-person tables had numbered seats, You sat on your table/seat. Don't know if the organizers would allow seating of groups. call and ask

Yes, there Is.

You can buy a table for 10 or buy Individual tickets.

[KEDA]

How much for a ticket?


BTW the 24th is my birthday, a ticket from a forum member would be a great present!

[Kip Fanatic]

Does SBC girl have a date?

[spurschick]

Any info as to when and where to buy tickets?

[boutons]

ticket was $100 last year.

[angel_luv]

I went last year too. Last year Spurs.com had a reservation number to call. I know for my friend and I to sit together I had to order our tickets at the same time on the same credit card.

[angel_luv]

I would like to go, especially if it going to be a group GTG! = )
I'll see what I can do about getting that day off.

[batman2883]

I'm in for helping raise enough for a table

[Old School Chic]

Does SBC girl have a date?

Yes, My husband.



I will try to find out more Info on the Tip Off Luncheon and post It here.

[angel_luv]

Info will show up on Spurs.com before too long.

[sa_butta]

is there a discount for group?

[batman2883]

[batman2883]

I'm sorry the Spurs fan in me wants to love Rasho since he plays for the Spurs, but the other Spurs fan in me wants to hate him for hurting the team more than helping......its kinda like a Spy vs Spy episode going on in my mind.

You failed Rasho Luving miserably. But no worries, I've got that covered. ;)

You can work on something else.
Hey I know! How about we enroll you in " How to Stop When You Are Ahead 101" ? :lol

[batman2883]

Stop when im ahead huh...lol i know i should have ended it with the first batman quotes

[Kori Ellis]

Maybe Batman and Angel Luv are meant for each other.

[Samr]

I heard somewhere that it was $100 a person. As of right now, I plan on shelling out the cash and going. Sounds like a great way to make some connections. Oh yeah, and have some fun as well.

[Kori Ellis]

I've never gone before, but we'll probably go this year. Going as a group and getting a table (or two) might be cool.

[angel_luv]

It would be! = )

[SequSpur]

Waste of time.

[missmyzte]

I went last year and plan to go again, it was a lot of fun.

[Old School Chic]

I went last year and plan to go again, it was a lot of fun.


I'm hoping to have the pleasure of meeting you, Kori and all the fun people from this forum...

[angel_luv]

I'm in as long as I get the day off. I've already put the pennies aside! = )

[KEDA]

you think I could do the Rasho voice and get my seat upgraded???


tell you guys what, if I see Rasho, Ill talk to him with my Rasho voice!

[angel_luv]

you think I could do the Rasho voice and get my seat ungraded???


ungraded? I doubt it! ;)



tell you guys what, if I see Rasho, Ill talk to him with my Rasho voice!

What will you tell him?

[hotsauce0987]

i want to go with my girlfriend so how much for the both of us to go?

[angel_luv]

Last year it was a hundred dollars per person

[angel_luv]

:lol @ the video clip

Brent is great! He's a keeper for sure! Either that or he needs one. :lol

[hotsauce0987]

cool so you call and reserve your two tickets or what?

[angel_luv]

if you check the spurs website, they will have a reservation number for you to call.
It probably is not up yet though.

Also if you wanted to sit with the group from here, we'd have to reserve tables/ order our tickets as a group- depending on how many people come. I believe there are 10 to a table.

[KEDA]

Im in for a c-note!

[spurschick]

I'm in as well

[angel_luv]

Bump! :spin


http://tinypic.com/e1dik7.jpg

I want to go. Think we can get a table together?

[batman2883]

Im in when is it

[batman2883]

lets get a damn table if we can get 10 of us together Kori?

[Kori Ellis]

I'm sure we can get a table together.

Post in this thread if you are serious about going and then someone will have to call and get the details for payment, etc.

[angel_luv]

I am most definitely in.

You have to make reservations together if you want to sit at the same table.
Last year I paid with a credit card.

[Kori Ellis]

You have to make reservations together if you want to sit at the same table.

Meaning what? One person has to pay the whole $1000 on their credit card? Or we can reserve a table under one name and then everyone call in and pay their own $100?

Can you find out the details on that?

[angel_luv]

I will call and ask.


I left a message and will update you when I know something.

[spurschick]

I posted a while back that I'm in - but now I'm doubly in. :spin

[boutons]

anybody know where to buy ticktets?

[spurschick]

http://www.nba.com/spurs/community/tipoff_0506.html

[KEDA]

that luncheon is on my birthday, you better count on it!!


<<<Most definatley in!!!

[angel_luv]

anybody know where to buy ticktets?

I'm waiting for a call back as to how we can all sit together. Hopefully I should know more tomorrow. = )

[Kori Ellis]

Thanks Angel.

[angel_luv]

Sure thing! = )

I'm excited about us all going together. It will be so much fun!

[angel_luv]

Kori-

I got the information about the lunch reservations. I spoke to Margret Phillips.
She said that all sorts of payment- cash, check and credit card- are accepted.
It is possible for everyone to call in and pay separately but Margret would strongly prefer to receive the entire $1,000 (for a table of ten) in one lump sum from one person representing the group.

I don't know how you think it would be best to handle that. Maybe we could all give our money to one person and then they could mail in a check.

I reserved one table of ten. The reservation is under my name for now but I can call and change it to whoever the group elects to have handle the money.

They money is due whenever we can get it in, although I am assuming the sooner the better.

If you have any other questions I can call Margret back with those.

= )

[spurschick]

From what I've read in the thread, here are the people who are in for a table:

Angel_Luv
KEDA + 1(?)
Kori + LJ
Batman
HotSauce0987 + 1
Boutons (?)
Spurschick

That equals 10!!! The table is full!

[angel_luv]

We can reserve as many tables as needed.
Also if there are some odd people out like a table of ten and then six... The six people can put their money together and reserve seats at a table together.

Or whatever the extra number is.

[spurschick]

If those on the list below will confirm that they are definitely in, I would be willing to pony up the front money.

[angel_luv]

I am definitely in and can give you the money anytime you want it.

Also I can call and change the reservation under your name if that would be easier.
Just pm your last name. :lol

[batman2883]

I am definitly in but i wont have the money till the middle of next month hopefully

[boutons]

"We can reserve as many tables as needed."

I had the impression it was sold out last year, so if you want a table, move quick.

[angel_luv]

I would agree to decide as soon as you can, but the invitation just went out. There will be tables left for a little bit.

[KEDA]

From what I've read in the thread, here are the people who are in for a table:

KEDA + 1(?)


That equals 10!!! The table is full!


There is NO MORE +1

+1 is gone for good

so its just single man birthday boy KEDA for the Spurstalk.com table!

unless someone would like to be my date!


I also have the money right now if anyone is willing to collect it.

[angel_luv]

Sorry Keda. I want all of Rasho... not just the voice. = )

[spurschick]

I also have the money right now if anyone is willing to collect it.

I am willing to collect once I get more confirmations - those in bold have committed so far. Is there anyone else?

Angel_Luv
KEDA
Spurschick

Kori + LJ (?)
Batman (hopefully will have money)
HotSauce0987 + 1 (?)
Boutons (?)

[Vashner]

So are they going to show Tparks post about quitting on the overhead projector?

[boutons]

Boutons has a special "multi-media security pass" :lol
so he doesn't need a seat at Spurstalk table.

As last year, he will be taking tons of pics for posting here.

Splain please. = )

[Kori Ellis]

We are coming for sure.

[boutons]

Angel, God told me he wanted there. :lol

[spurschick]

That is five for sure, and we lost Boutons to whatever secret mafia organization he works for :lol so it looks like we may have a spot or two open.

[Kori Ellis]

Maybe SpursWoman and User might want to come.
Maybe Manny and Jess.. and Ginofan.

[angel_luv]

What did he tell you about Rasho and me? :spin

[SpursWoman]

"What did he tell you about Rasho and me?"

He said: "Boutons, please help Me. Angel won't listen to Me when I tell her she's wasting her youth pining away for Rasho. She going to end up like my mother Mary, Immaculate! Tell her to go out and get laid. Rasho won't care"

[MannyIsGod]

Psh, Manny is po' and has school expenses. Jess can venture if she'd like, but something tells me she's not down for dropping a benjamin on the anything Spurs. :lol

I'll see you guys opening night, though.

[angel_luv]

I'll pick up my own messages from now on. Thanks! :rolleyes

[KEDA]

I can ask my buddy Thomas, he has been to a few GTGs, and mabye he will wear a dress for me too!

[angel_luv]

LOL! I'm not even wearing a dress.

[angel_luv]

I just called Rasho_Fan to see if maybe she wanted to come with us. When I hear back from her, I'll let you know if she is in or not.

[spurschick]

Here is the status - I am waiting for Margaret from the Spurs to call me back so that I can pay for the table.

There are eight confirmed:
Angel_Luv
KEDA
Spurschick
Kori + LJ
Spurswoman and User666
Batman

2 maybes
HotSauce0987 + 1 (?)

But there is a new snag - my company really wants me to sit at their table with them. I don't to skip out on our table, but I don't want to piss of my new boss either. I haven't heard from HotSauce0987 to see if he is confirmed for 2 tickets yet, so there are currently 2 openings, unless he confirms. There is a possibility of a third opening if I have to sit with my work folk. Is there anyone else who is interested in going?

That is so not fair that your boss wants to steal you! = ( We had you first!
I hope you get to sit with us. = )

[spurschick]

I will paying for the table tomorrow - we still have two spaces left. If nobody speaks up for those by end of day (Wednesday, Oct.5), I will be paying for the 8 confirmed that we have.

[spurschick]

We are officially in for 8 - bought and paid for. I will be sending payment instructions for everyone confirmed.

[MannyIsGod]

Melissa, if you end up having to sell your seat, let me know.

[batman2883]

Manny needs a seat?

[KEDA]

dress for the event?

dirty tee shirt and jeans with a hole in the crotch?

do I have to take a bath??

:lol You can still follow your once a week rule, just make bath day on Monday for that week.

And you heard Stern, don't forget the sport's coat = )

I'd describe most people's dress as business casual.

[Old School Chic]

SOLD OUT!

Hope everyone got their tickets...

[angel_luv]

I did!!!!!!!!!!!! :elephant

[angel_luv]

BTW, this thread title is a real tease!

[KEDA]

Are we going to meet up before hand to go as a group, or are we just going to show up

[angel_luv]

I was wondering that too. I think M is going straight from work cause she is right there.

[spurschick]

Anybody know another way to get a hold of Batman3883? He is the only one from our reserved table who has not made payment arrangements with me and I don't want to be left holding an extra $100 ticket. I have PMd him, but he hasn't responded.

Start a thread in the club asking him not to be a 'duff'. :)

I'll give you $25 and take that ticket off your hands! :lol

[spurschick]

I'll give you $25 and take that ticket off your hands! :lol

I don't know if I can take such an offer at this time :lol but I will entertain the thought of selling it to someone else if I don't hear from Batman3883 by tomorrow morning. If anyone is interested, PM me.

[Kori Ellis]

I made a thread and stuck it to the top of the Club. Unfortunately batman doesn't post that much on the weekends. Maybe try messaging The Truth - he should have batman's phone number.

[ChumpDumper]

I'll be in town on Monday.

Hmmm.....

[spurschick]

I have not heard from Batman, but Manny told me last night that Batman PMd him recently to ask him if he wanted to buy his ticket, so I'm going to assume that he no longer wants to go. But the lovely Rashofan has stepped up to buy the ticket - so we are good to go.

[KEDA]

are we going to devise a meet up plan before hand, or am I just going to get lost down there :)

I will be going straight from work, so I will just meet you all there, but I think some others may want to meet up first.

Rasho is going have HIS ladies present for the kick off....isn't HE SOOOOO lucky to have girls like us Angel to support him!!!!!!Whoosh!

If everyone wants to meet up let me know details....I should be off work early tonight, so I can get some rest. Gotta look good for THE MAN!!!! :lol

Does anyone know the parking situation?

Can we just park at the hotel and pay?

[angel_luv]

I'm parking at the mall and going in that way.
