Click here to RSVP.

SBNation Philly launches next week which should be a doozy for all you Philadelphia sports fans. Check out SBNation DC and SBNation Boston for references on what you should expect from SBNation Philly.

(For more info on SBNation's regional roll-out, read about it here: The New York Times, Harvard Journalism Lab, Dan Shanoff, PR Newswire, & SBNation.com.)

From JasonB @ BGN:

The folks at SBNation are throwing a kickoff party    Tuesday, June 22nd  from 5:00 - 8:00 PM  at The Field House. The Field House is at 1150 Filbert St. in Philadelphia. They've got a bunch of drink and food specials for us, so we should have a great time.

Unfortunately I won't be attending, but rumor has it John will be dressed up as Santa, giving out free hugs. If you have the time you guys should hit it up. It's a great chance to meet all the people who work hard on the sites you read, and the commenters you interact with on a daily basis. Plus there's food! And drinks!

Liberty Ballers, represent!

Sucks that most of us can’t go. I’d love it if Ricko showed up. I honestly couldn’t have less of an idea what he looks like. It’s terrific.

Even though I can’t go, is there an age requirement? Plan to go in the future so yeah.

I don’t think there is. I was gonna go to the one in NYC before I got a (free) ticket to the Mets game before it got canceled and I was already too late to go to the sbnation thing. Aaaaaand I’m sub-21.

scandalous.

Well since I don’t have the money to pay hell, I guess I’ll be consulting you. Shenannynannigans.

I’ll be there when the show hits the road for the international tour stop in Chicago. Maybe I’ll fly out for the Vegas stop as well.

I was. Just got back.

I’ve been insanely busy, plus i don’t have a lot to say about the draft since i don’t follow college ball. All of that adds up to meaning that I’ve been reading everything and visit the site daily, but haven’t been talking.
