Because would I be the Hive Queen if I didn’t make you aware of the good word on Hornets freebies? (Dariusz called me the Hive Queen the other day… I’m going to keep it. Cause, you know, I devour all my mates when I’m finished with them. And also, I blog the Hornets.) The Hornets 2008-09 promotional schedule is out! And I would not want you to miss anything that’s free.
So I am promoting the promotions.
Some Freebie Highlights:
10/21 vs. Pacers: Pack the Hive in Pink, aka Breast Cancer Awareness Night. That’s tonight. Now I feel sort of bad for my scorn of all pink women’s sports gear, because you’re supposed to wear pink. Guys, I’m sure you can come up with a dress shirt. If not, you are clearly not as preppy as me.
10/27 Swarm @ Fulton Square: A block party like the one they had during the playoffs, from 5:30-8:00. The players will be there. Food, drink, and gear will be there. Music and freebies will probably also be there.
11/1 vs. Cavaliers: Opening Night. Free t-shirts and schedule magnets.
11/8 vs. Heat: Hornets car flags.
12/10 vs. Bobcats: Retro New Orleans Buccaneers night. CP3/Buccaneers bobbleheads to the first 8,000.
12/17 vs. Spurs: Gold towels.
12/20 vs. Kings: Hornets Christmas ornaments.
1/19 vs. Pacers: The night we’ve all been waiting for… DAVID WEST BOBBLEHEADS! But… with the new uniforms, I am wary about how he’ll look posed in a funny picture with the rest of the guys. (And also, what Star Wars quote I could possibly use next. I guess by then, we’ll know. Always in motion is the future.)
2/4 vs. Bulls: Tyson Chandler basketball, first 5,000 fans. I don’t know what it is, but I know I want it.
2/18 vs. Magic: Hornets beeeeaaaaaadds!
3/5 vs. Mavs: Hornets swirlers. Again, I don’t know what it is, but I’m sure there’s a treasured place for it in the collection of random Hornet-colored stuff in the corner behind my entertainment center.
3/7 vs. Thunder (HA! Lame): Honeybees poster. If, you know, this type of thing is your bag, baby.
3/18 vs. T-Wolves: Peja action figure (!!!!!! I need!)
4/12 vs. Mavs: Last home game before the playoffs (optimism, optimism). Team poster.
But I would continue to check the schedule, because they’re always adding stuff as the season goes on. And also, I noticed that Every. Single. Home. Game has a Buzzfest this year. Even in the cold. And you know what that means.
Dollar dollar beers, ya’ll.
Oh, and on a funny note, check out Ball Don’t Lie’s season preview for the Hornets. And, um, look very carefully? (I have no idea. But it cracks me up.)
Good stuff as usual, TT6. But as for the “season preview” by BDL? I do not feel it was much better than all the articles that still talk about our attendance. Our second unit has been playing real well and every indication is that Wright and Armstrong will be better this year.
Chris Paul is the
secondfirst coming ofsomeone greatChris Paul.Did they say that? That’s all that needs to be said.
6-0. Maybe the Hornets should just… not lose… until December or so.
P.S. 23 James Poseys and me could beat the Pacers.
