GSoM Night II - WE GSOM

Yeah, I know this is not the superblog that is Golden State of Mind. The Front-Row Johnson is far from that. But I'm here to tell you about the party that will be goin' on during the Warriors home opener against the Jazz on October 30.

That's right, a party. GSoM is hosting its 2nd GSoM Night, the craziest game experience ever. Here's what 350 diehard fans look like packed into the upper deck:


And that was just the first GSoM Night.

This time, they're amping it up to 500+ people. 500+. I can't even imagine the intensity that the Oracle's gonna get. Here are the details:

1) When is it?
Opening night vs Utah - Tuesday, October 30
Sorry to everyone who can't make it that night, but c'mon it's opening night! I've never been to an opening night before, so to spend it with all of you will make my first opening night special.

2) Courtside Shootaround
Just like last year we'll be able to go down courtside around 6p to watch the players warm up. Unless you're ballin out of control, rarely do you ever get to see the players up close and personal.

3) Free GSoM Night T-shirts
Remember the free We Believe t-shirts the Warriors gave out during the playoffs? Well we're bringing that back but with some GSoM flavor. Everyone who purchases a ticket through GSoM gets a free t-shirt designed by our very own Tony.psd. WE GSOM!

4) GSoM Raffle
More free stuff! You want some free Warriors merchandise? How about some free Warriors memorabilia? Or how do free tickets to future games sound? Well we're giving all that away in a GSoM raffle! All you have to do is buy a ticket for GSoM Night 2 and be present at the time of the raffle to have a chance to win.

5) High 5's in the Tunnel (16 & under)
How cool is this?! During player introductions, 20 randomly chosen people aged 16 and under will get to stand in the tunnel and high 5 the Warrior players as they get introduced. I wish I was 16 just so I could do this.

6) Jumbotron Love
Just like last year, they're going to zoom to our section and put us up on the Jumbotron during the game. When that happened last year, we went bananas and showed the rest of the crowd what GSoM is all about. Expect more of the same this year.

7) Family Friendly Section
We have always said that this is a family friendly site, and we intend to maintain that across our GSoM Nights. This year, we're setting up a family friendly fan section and a rabid Warriors fan section. The sections will still be next to each other, but we can give the families with young kids their own space while the rabid fans (like me!) can go crazy in our section too.

8) At least 500 of your GSoM friends
We're looking to build on last year's success and are looking to sell at least 500 of these tickets. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, facebook or myspace friends and anyone else you can think of about GSoM Night 2. We'll rock the house. No doubt.

High-fives in the tunnel? Free merchandise? Courtside shootaround? Jumbotron? Hell yes.

With the Warriors magical playoff run last season, game tickets are worth more than gold. Normally, tickets won't be on sale until a month before the season starts, but thanks to GSoM friend Chris Murphy, you'll be able to buy tickets to the home opener right now. He's guaranteed 500 tickets, with more on the way if need be. Hurry!

Just like last year, our boy Chris Murphy of the Warriors is in charge of tickets.

Cost: $30 (regularly $35)
Seat Location: Club 200 - Sections 205-212 and if we fill that up 221-228

There are 3 ways to order:
1) Call Chris: (510) 986-2214
2) Email Chris: ctmurphy@gs-warriors.com
3) Download, print, and mail the GSoM Night 2 flyer.

Of course, nothing completes a rockin' game like free merch. As up above, GSoM will be giving away free T-shirts, designed by the graphic artist maestro Tony Robles (aka Tony.psd). Here's what they'll look like:



In addition, Tony will also give away an original poster for one lucky winner. If you haven't seen his work yet, check out this wallpaper up on the warriors.com Fan Artwork page. Or the posters he created during the Warriors playoff run (scaled version found down the right-hand sidebar on GSoM).

Get your tickets, get your husband/wife/friends, and get ready for the craziest and the loudest game of your life!
