Draft Night get Together?

Living half way around the world in the Philippines makes it a little difficult, so I will have to pass. If Sloanfeld shows up kick his @ss for me. lol

I drove through Reno on the way to San Francisco last week... I was really surprised at how big of a **** hole it is...

Am I accurate on that?

I used to do a ton of travel in a previous job and it's my opinion that Reno and Cleveland are the two suckiest cities in America, but since Reno has Tahoe nearby I would pick it in a heartbeat over Cleveland which is just plain depressing and awful.
 
So if we draft Knight at 3 then we get this player named Together at 12? Never heard of him.

Anyone have a scouting report on Together?

Not looking promising. It is too bad. I was really looking forward to making fun of dudes like NUMERICATTITUDE

I wouldn't mind hosting. We could get a low stakes cash game going before/after (not sure when it starts). Good times! Not sure how many people I can handle, but since the response hasn't been overwhelming I think we'll be alright.

It is on 6/23, right?

I never thought much of Reno until I lived here. We would stop on our way to San Fran sometimes and didn't think much of the city. But living here is another story. This is a great little town. It has the casino life if you like that, but it is not invasive in day to day life. The schools are generally good to very good/excellent. There are a ton of activities within 1/2 hour of Reno, not just Tahoe. The weather is great. It gets cold and some snow in the winter, but nothing like Utah (as a point of comparison, the Ogden/SLC area). Here it is always 10-15 degrees warmer in the winter at a minimum. Reno has a generally longer summer but without the 100 degree days in Utah. Our hottest time here is shorter than in Utah and 5-10 degrees cooler. So outdoor activities are far more pleasurable with milder weather. It is like other high-desert cities with not a lot of greenery, although on the east bench it gets into the Sierra Nevadas like SLC bumping up against the Wasatch. The city has relatively little crime and has been a great place to raise kids, very family friendly, but still with a thriving nightlife if you want that. We really like it here and plan on staying here long-term, career- and economy-willing.

What in your travels would make you think Reno is such a crappy city? I never got that impression of the city even before we lived here and I was just passing through.
 
To all of you yankees, 3000 kilometers would probably be circa 1800 miles. Metric system, it rocks eh?

Reno 911, but the closest I have been to Reno is Colorado, so I really have no opinion.
 
Will people who actually live in the valley actually respond to this? Holy cow, how many foreign dudes does jazzfanz have?

Depends who you're pulling for at #3 ...

Seriously would love to but I'm in St. George and it's too damn far just to watch the Jazz piss me off with their picks.

That's a far way off from being a Kentucky insider. I hope I didn't just catch your *** lying about that b/c you've been golden. Big fan here. Please clarify. Ooh, and grab that lame old BenStench and haul him up with you. It's not that far. Seriously.

You forgot to mention the Sushi.
 
Maybe we should get troutbum to tell us about the place he beat the burger challenge at and head there...

and then all of us can take the challenge...

and hopefully at least one of us can beat his time.

Ha! I was actually surprised someone else didn't ask the question. I have a home in both places and spend 4 months per year back 'home' from Christmas through NCAA tourney. 3rd generation season ticket holders, 2nd row ... travel OFTEN with the team (both plane and bus), and have a very good ties. Nope, not lying. Also, I'm easy to check out (partner in the Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club development down here in St. George). I'm giving good info.
