Anybody going to the Draft party?

I'll be there. If you're there make sure you throw something at me, especially if we haven't met previously. I enjoy meeting new friends.

Should be a good time.

Warpaint will have half a dozen wannabe journalists covering the draft from Arrowhead, so if/when ChiefsPlanet crashes I'd like to invite you to come visit Warpaint for our free coverage this weekend. http://chiefs.scout.com

SPAM!!!

somebody had to do it

I can just see myself sitting around getting shitcanned for the 4 hours leading up to our pick, and then saying something to get ejected when it finally happens.

Anyone been before? I'd be curious if it's fun or if it's kind of boring.

This will be my first time. I have no idea how fun it is for your average fan but the Superfans go back every year. It will be fun asking questions of draftees 10 minutes after they get drafted though.

To be honest, I don't see myself enjoying it. There would likely be too many people that I disagreed with, and sitting in a room full of opinionated morons doesn't appeal to me.

I just can't picture what kind of atmosphere it would be. I think I'll stick to my sportsbar and/or home office.

A typical draft day for me:

1. Wake up around 10:00
2. Make some football food. Hod dogs, nachos, maybe pick up some wings.
3. Watch the first team use all their time on the clock even though they have had months to think about the first pick.
4. Gorge self on food.
5. Fall asleep for 1 1/2 hour.
6. Wake up to realize we're only on pick 10 and the Chiefs are 16/18/20 like every year.
7. Hang around waiting for our pick to be made.
8. Get angry when we trade down and kick some furniture.
9. Watch all the guys I was hoping we could steal go off the board.
10. Watch Denver and San Diego make good picks.
11. Fall asleep again
12. WHO THE HELL IS JUNIOR SLAVIL???

I used to go to them, when they were still in the Arrowhead Club. I was planning to go this year, but I have a final scheduled for that afternoon, so that time would be better spent cramming (since I didn't take advantage of the entire semester to do so).
They are decent events, but a little cheesy. If it's anything like it used to be, you sit there listening to the guy from 101 (Skip Roadie???) talk about it the entire time.

I got to do that one year, and was pretty excited about it. Except that was the year they drafted Johnson and Mitchell... neither one of which seemed at all interested in being talked to (about what had to be one of the biggest moments in their lives).

Yell at TV at home.

My intent is to be drinking heavily for this event, so I hope my aim isn't off.

This is my first time too. If it's fun, I'll go back. If not, I'll watch it on TV like I used to do.

If you see me first, I'll be the drunk guy throwing stuff at you.

I'll try to bring a change of clothes. Hopefully you'll be throwing full beers at me.

Hell no. I will be on the river hauling in large trout. To far to drive big dog.
