Already got my full day kitchen pass, and two buddies lined up.

I know it starts at 8:30, how early can we get in?

Just got off the phone with Mr. Marty Jones, and he told me that the doors open at 8:30am for the fans. He suggests getting in earlier than that, mostly due to the parking situation downtown.

I'm still debating whether or not to go...beer is cheaper at home, but it's also nice to be out of the house...

 

[CardAvenger]

I'll be there, barring I don't have to work, but it looks good. There's nothing like drinking a nice cold beer with your eggs and bacon!!!!!

Viva La Draft Party!!!

 

[JasonKGME]

been to the last 3 draft parties no doubt I am going again, allthough it's my sons B-day party that day (turning 3) so will have to leave about noon.

Having not attended any of the past Cardinals draft parties, could some of you fill me in as to what to expect?

beer, breakfast, many many tv's.

The best part is there's a bunch of Cards fans. You don't feel like such an outcast. Well, for a day or so at least...

Tony- I don't live anywhere near Gilbert, but you are more that welcome to hang out with us at the Draft Party.

FYI- You might want to retract the "I will buy some drinks" statement before you actually get roped in to it.

 

[Stronso]

Draft Day Party

I havent been in town for a year or two. What happened to DD Partys at Rockin Rodeo?? Jacksons on 3rd is a great place but a long way to drive for a lot of people. I know, I know---might as well get used to the long drives to sporting events.
Used to be a GREAT bar in Glendale called Calhoons. Too bad it didnt make it for the sports explosion in Glendale.
