Call to Kings fans!

As we get down to the final decision on April 18-19, we need to be as visible a presence as possible. Our grassroots movements (all of them) have gotten us this far. Now we need to finish the game, to show the NBA and the country that #WeAreSacramento - we need to show our support every way we possibly can.

One of the ways we can do that is to continue to support the efforts of Carmichael Dave, CrownDowntown, HereWeStay, HereWeBuy and anything else that comes up to make a very vivid image for the Board of Governors to keep in their minds as they're debating the future of OUR Sacramento Kings.

I have it on very good authority that people are watching and it is the grassroots movements that separate us from Seattle. We have been blessed to have some incredibly dedicated Kings fans lead the way. Now we have to make sure we don't drop the ball at the last minute.

If you live in New York and can be outside the hotel where the meetings are taking place, do it. This is the only chance you may have. Dave is trying to get his RV into Manhattan so he can actually be out front and it would be wonderful if he was totally surrounded by Kings fans in their Kings regalia. You can find out more about Carmichael Dave's activities at www.playingtowintour.com or by following him on Twitter @CarmichaelDave. In addition, Mike from Crown Downtown is on his way to New York at this very moment. You can follow him on Twitter @CrownDowntown.

When Kevin Johnson returns from New York City, we need to be there! A mixture of Crown Downtown shirts AND Kings jerseys - the more the merrier - would send a strong message. We'll post his flight information as soon as it's available.

We can do this. We've come way too far to lose now. #WeAreSacramento
 
Help spread the word to all the Kings fans you know. Time is absolutely of the essence!
 
Great post! Thanks for your help in rallying the troops in everything we can do to support KJ and the City of Sacramento!

We need to welcome back these guys at the airport like we did after we beat Utah in 1998...LA Lakers in 2002...KJ last couple years...it's GO time Kings fans, this is the critical mass we've been hoping/waiting for, let's go!!

Exactly. We need to show the world once again what we already know. We are the best fans in the NBA!! And, #WeAreSacramento
 
Can't wait to have a celebration party downtown soon and wear a cold blooded tuxedo with purple accents opening night 2016!!!

The celebration party will be sweet BUT we have to make sure we finish strong to ensure that party. :)

If you can make it out to the airport to welcome KJ back from NY (time and flight info will be posted as soon as available), then you need to do it. Wear your Kings jersey and bring your friends. The world is watching. #WeAreSacramento
 
NOTE: If you've got questions, comments, etc. about the upcoming presentations or board vote, please use the ongoing news and rumor thread. Thanks!

I'm behind the scenes with the Mayor producing a documentary on his arena efforts. We're currently in NY holding a shin dig for Kings Fans at Public House on Lexington and 41st. Come out, right now! And sorry for the short notice.
 
I'm nervous as all get up.... It all boils down to the next two weeks.. all the politicking of the last couple of years, this is the pinnacle of the roller coaster right here

Behave like there is a TV camera on you over the next few weeks, especially when flights arrive, etc. because TV cameras very well MIGHT be there. This may be one of the very few times in your seemingly insignificant life when you can make a big impact. An argument can be made that this attitude is delusional but don't take a chance and guess wrong. If KJ comes back after 7 PM whenever he flies back, there may be a Glenn sighting. Look for a guy in pain with an Asian lady with him.
 
Addressing this idea that little old you can have an impact, look at what little old Mike has done. It's not too late to behave like he does. People are noticing.
 
Remember, #HereWePurple is Wednesday, April 3. If you're going to be out and about anywhere in the Sacramento area, wear your purple. Take a picture of people in purple and post it to Twitter with the #HereWePurple hashtag. Get the word out. This is our game to win. #WeAreSacramento

You BETTER be there. I am expecting everyone on this board to be there! Come up and give me a bump. I'll be the guy following KJ from behind with a camera down the escalator. We need this to be the biggest airport showing since the kings came back from Utah game 5 in 1999.

By the way, fun night meeting LpKings fan. I bumped into Mike previously at the kings lakers game.
 
I'm so sad I missed yesterday. Didn't find out till now that there was actually a Kingsfan documentary shoot in midtown! Well I will still be wearing purple today :)
 
Okay I'll har more details later, but it looks like we'll be arriving at 1130am tomorrow. Terminal B I believe.
 
Here's a shot I took from yesterday. A rare smile from Mike!

It's something about "whales" that will make a person smile all day long.

But my favorite picture is when everyone was huddled around me as we listened to the press conference with Team Sacramento.

I'll write a recap of my own experience soon.
