Anyone going to the draft party at TWC?

[Deadshot]

I attended last year and enjoyed it - plan on doing the same tomorrow night. Always enjoy the extra stuff. It says there will be NBA legends on hand but doesn't say who (last year was Bogues, Sleepy Floyd, David Thompson, and Dell Curry).

I'm going to try and take some pictures of the new stuff and do a little writeup for those who can't get to the arena until the season starts (if there are actual changes in place yet).

IDK. Possibly. I think i'm just gonna stay home and be the BobcatsPlanet chat tbh

Here is the media release...I hope to make it, may try to get a computer in so I can also be in the draft chat (best of both worlds).

Im new to the area, bought season tickets for the 1st time. Im thinking about heading down there.

[ammofan]

I wonder if they'll have the new court down

[marino13882]

Hmm, I may go just to get the photo with David Thompson

[cltblkhscoach]

I went last year and it was a nice crowd. If you can go, I would say go - Steve and Matt give a nice breakdown from a Bobcats perspective, the photos are a nice touch, and it sounds like they're having more for the kids this year. Plus food was really cheap, they had dollar hot dogs and sodas last year.

Looks like I have to work, but I'll be in the chat room and have the draft on in the office for sure.

[BountyHunter]

And the Lady Cats will be there. Always a good thing

[Scottley Crue]

I'll be there. I always enjoy the draft party, it's usually a pretty fun event. Besides, have to pick up some of the new gear, right?

[Maal]

I'm going, it shouldn't be a problem bringing my laptop in the arena, right?
