Bus The Process II: Rights To Ricky Sanchez Bus Trip To D.C. (F*ck Andrew Sharp)
We're doing another stupid bus trip.
If you want to buy tickets, go to Phans Of Philly and see if they're still available.
If you're going, the instructions are below. You should have an email from Phans Of Philly that you'll need to park at XFINITY Live! on 1/14. If you don't have that email, send a note to joe@phansofphilly.com.
We have a really great record of being cool and behaving (except for those three Penn State guys on one of the buses home last time, you know who you are). I'm always so proud of how cool everyone is. Let's keep that up and have a great time and make national news.
IF YOU ARE TAKING THE BUS:
Bus meetup/departure- XFINITY Live! will be providing our group half off appetizers and $3 draft beer beginning at 1:00 PM before we board our buses on Saturday January 14th. We will celebrate the Process career of Hollis Thompson. It will be a fitting farewell for Hollis. During this time there will be a check-in table inside to pick up your game tickets and t-shirts. Our buses are scheduled to depart for D.C. at 2:45 PM sharp. They will be located outside of XFINITY Live! (1100 Pattison Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19148). Please do not be late. We cannot hold up 3 buses full of people for a couple people who show up late. We are not responsible for anyone who does not make the bus departure.
Parking- XFINITY Live! will be providing free parking for all cars of people who are attending the trip. Please enter the Wells Fargo Center lot on the North Broad Street side. YOU MUST SHOW THIS EMAIL to the lot attendant in order to receive the free parking. Once you get past the lot attendant please proceed to Lot G. Linked is a map of the entrance, and area to park.
Arriving in D.C.- We should arrive in Washington around 5:30-6:00 PM for the 8:00 PM start time. Our buses will drop us off at the corner of 7th and E ST NW. There will be a pre-game happy hour set up at Penn Social, which is a short walk from this drop off location, and the Verizon Center entrance.
Post game photo/Free-throws on the court- With 3 minutes or so left in the game we are asked to meet in the corridor outside of section 111. Once the game ends, and the lower sections have subsided we will line up to walk onto the court. Each person will get 1 attempt at a free-throw, so make it a good one! After each person takes a free-throw you will be asked to move to the side until everyone is done. At which point, the Wizards staff will bring us back out to take the group photo.
Departing D.C.- As soon as the group photo is completed we will proceed out of the arena to board our buses for Philadelphia. As of right now our buses will be located at the same location we are being dropped off at which is the corner of 7th and E ST NW. We have done a few trips to D.C., and the congestion and traffic following games are crazy. It makes it difficult for bus drivers to maneuver, and pull over large buses to load. However, after our last trip to D.C. we found this location has worked the best. If the location happens to change the bus drivers will communicate this with me. From there the word will be spread, and there should be enough communication going around as we will all be together following the game.
Miscellaneous- There will be some snacks and refreshments on the bus. You are also welcomed to bring beer on board as long as it is in a cooler that can fit under your legs. You also MUST BE 21+ YEARS OF AGE to consume alcohol on the trip. The happy hour location in Washington D.C. will also enforce this as they will not let you in. If there is anything I missed, or you still have any questions please call/text, or email me anytime before/during the trip.
IF YOU ARE NOT TAKING THE BUS:
Bus meetup & Hollis Thompson Appreciation Happy Hour- XFINITY Live! will be providing our group half off appetizers and $3 draft beer beginning at 1:00 PM before we board our buses Saturday January 14th. During this time there will be a check-in table inside to pick up your game tickets and t-shirts. Even if you're not taking the bus, you can come eat and drink and salute Hollis Thompson with us from 1pm till 3pm.

If you are unable to make the check-in during our time at XFINITY Live! or in D.C. please let Joe know, and he will arrange for your tickets to be emailed and your shirt to be picked up in the game. However, meeting one of these check-in slots is STRONGLY preferred.
