It doesn’t take much digging to recognize that I’m a huge Jazz fan. I’m sure the vast majority of you guys are too. Maybe you are all lucky to live with, go to school with, work with, and are married to other huge Jazz fans. Maybe not. I love this community we have here at SLC Dunk, and I think that in the next few weeks we can go a bit farther into making our community bonds stronger. Tweet-ups in the real world should be happening before every home game (if you can make it). People who have been ‘buddies’ for years on the net who live in the same city can easily expand their friendship in the real world – based primarily around the common love and devotion for the Utah Jazz.
If I could find Jazz fans in my neck of the woods I would jump at the opportunity to hang with them. I don’t have that opportunity, but you guys do.

If you wanted something a bit more structured and formal to be a part of there’s your local family run business: The Beehive Sports & Social Club. It’s run by our very own SLC Dunk family member David Marquardt (joined waa-aay back in 2010). For you twitteroo’s out there, he’s @DeMarq44. Right now you can join up in a SLC Dunk team, or heck, SLC Dunk league if there are enough people – and compete and have fun in a number of different sports. Dodgeball is still going on strong right now, and soon enough Dunkball will be starting next month. DUNK BALL! There are many more things planned this year, check it out for yourself.
Obviously, I’m a huge advocate for an active lifestyle, and those lifestyles are easier to be a part of if you include a social aspect to them. And during this trying season of ups and downs why not go through them together with some of your local Jazz fans? We all pretty much know know each other here after years of posting. Our community is small, but great. We can take the next step towards know knowing each other. Think of it like the SLC Dunk team for the dodge barrage – but for more than just one day a year.
You never know who you will be bumping into when you mix an active lifestyle with a love of sports. (Hint: take a look at the picture up top and think about that Dunk-Ball signup) Of course, this is more than just the Beehive Sports & Social Club. I love the idea of us Jazz fans getting together and developing stronger bonds with one another. We’re all fans of a small market team. But we have a big heart.
If you are interested in joining up into casual sports teams don’t be afraid to post sign ups here at the site in the fan post section – or even in the comments section of this post. If you have any other ideas of things we at SLC Dunk should be promoting / organizing / suggesting go ahead.
The reason why the Jazz usually beat super stars is because they play as a team. Jazz fans can combat lethargy, increase their energy level, and meet new friends by doing the same.

Expect Dave to chime in here sometime next week to remind you all in more specific of some of the deals / promotions he may have going on
Furthermore, if you just want to hang out, get dinner before a game, or have like a coffee with other slc dunkers on an off night, or meet up at a sports bar to watch a road game . . . I will be more than willing to promote / post / organize those events as well.
Thanks,
Amar

Starting things off ---
who wants to hang out and play sports together?
who wants to hang out at a restaurant or a sports bar and watch jazz road games together?
who wants to just occasionally meet up before jazz home games and maybe get dinner first?

okay, so far all i have is that tumble-weed that just passed by.
AllThatJazzBasketball - February 10, 2012
I would probably enjoy all of those things.
However, me being in Ephraim for school and going on a mission right after school is over makes things a bit hard.

Lol
I’m not much into playing sports anymore, but I do plan on getting together the Jazz fans who also golf this summer.
I would love to hang out somewhere & watch road games together, and also meetup before any home games I go to; alas I would only be able to do that every other weekend on Saturdays only, when my kids are out of town. :)
I really enjoyed the post Amar.

I would love to join in all listed activies!
However, I live in Los Angeles. If you guys kept a calendar of SLC Dunk events, I would love to join you when I am in town a couple times a year.
Also, what if there were a list of SLC Dunkers and there geographical location? I would love to get together with some other Jazz fans in LA.

So before I commit to anything,
I’d like to know which of you are violent pedophiles. I’ll probably not want to meet up with online pals who are violent pedophiles.

Laker fan exposure support group...
I live in Santa Monica and lakers fans are the worst. I have noticed several people here are from the LA area – what is it with us Jazz fans who torture ourselves by moving into the heart of the beast….

im at LSU
but i plan on making a trip to SLC sometime soon and see a home game. I’ll actually be at the game in nola game this wednesday. But WHEN i make it to slc, I’d love to go to a sports bar and watch a game with some fellow slc dunkers. Much like MTN, I’d prefer to avoid meeting up with any pedophiles.

Utah Jazz @ Baby Blues BBQ in LA
To any of you SLC Dunkers living in LA, come on down to Baby Blues BBQ on Santa Monica Blvd, to catch some Jazz games! Ive been trying to make this an unofficial Jazz sports bar in LA. (The best BBQ in LA too). We need to come together & stick ut to these fake/laker fans! Also look for me tearing it up on the Venice Beach Bball courts, sporting my sweet Jazz note shorts!
You know you’re a die hard Jazz fan if you represent in this town!
Go Jazz!!!
(Any other cool sports bars featuring Jazz games, worth chking out in LA?)
