Alright everyone, let's do this thing.

We've been kicking the idea around for awhile, and I think I've found a good place for us to have another Clips Nation Viewing Party. An acquaintance of mine is part owner of The Beach Club in Long Beach. They have a patio that is probably about the right size for us (although who knows how many people are going to show up), so we can have two plasma screens tuned to the Clippers' game all to ourselves, while the ~~yokels~~ patrons inside the bar are watching the Lakers game.

So I've reserved the patio for our second ever Clips Nation viewing party!

Date: Friday, November 6

Time: Game starts at 7:30 PM, I'll be there about 7 I'm guessing

Opponent: Golden State Warriors (should be a fun game, and a winnable game too)

Location: The Beach Club Sports Bar

5755 E. Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach (where PCH and Bellflower and 7th intersect, by the Ralphs)

Now, before you start complaining about how you don't live near Long Beach and it's a long drive, don't. The simple fact is that there's no place that will be perfect for everyone. Based on Citizen ClipperChuck's poll, Long Beach is actually a pretty central location for the people who responded: on the edge of Orange County, obviously good for the South Bay folks, not too bad for those on the west side. Also, the specific location is really convenient - a short drive from where the 405, 22 and 605 freeways meet. Besides, I live in Long Beach, and it's my blog and I get to decide. I hereby decree that Blake Superior is the official Blake Griffin nickname of Clips Nation, and The Beach Club is the official Viewing Party location of Clips Nation (unless it doesn't work out). The power! The raw, unadulterated POWER!

OK, got that out of my system.

Now for the bad news... I emailed Taylor, and she's out of town that day. She promised me that she would be there if she could, and hopefully she'll be able to attend the next viewing party, but we'll just have to carry on without her this time.

Since we haven't done this in awhile, and the blog readership is quite a bit bigger than it was the last time, please leave a comment letting me know if you are planning to be there. That way I can give the restaurant an idea in advance.

See you next week!

Count me in-that’s just down the street.

I'm planning on being there!

Thanks for organizing this Steve – it will be fun to meet everyone in person. I invited Traci, who is one of the hosts at the games and former Clipper spirit dancer. She and I went to the same dance studio when we were kids and were on a competitive dance team together. I have no idea if she’ll come, but she’d be a good Clipper Spirit representative since Taylor can’t make it this time. I’m excited to meet everyone!

G-g-g-girls!?

Yeah, I’ll probably make the trek.
BTW, Steve — if you’re no longer Clippersteve, how come the kids haven’t regained their last names?

OT

I don’t want to dignify this scurrilous video with its own topic, but it’s about our Clippers, and, um, it’s really funny, in a masochistic way.

I just think a Clipper viewing party should be held in Los Angeles. Oh well, maybe some other time.

Sounds awesome

My car has recently been put out of commission thanks to some yokel’s disregard for stop signs. But I’ll try to arrange some means of transportation.

The kids are alright.

Damn

can’t make it…I am going to be in New York that weekend…at the Giants v. Chargers game with the free ticket that ClipsNation so valiantly helped me win over on the Chargers blog www.boltsfromtheblue.com right here on SBN. I would definitely be there otherwise…and it sounds like the turnout should be a little better than the inaugural viewing party too. Take lots of pics.

Do or do not. There is no try.
