Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

Greetings Kings fans

Hi everyone,

I'm a Sacramento Kings fan (proud since '02) living in Toronto and I attended my first ever Kings game yesterday. I have been reading this site for nearly two years now, and just now have I started to become involved. So to everyone, I'd like to say hello. I've loved the Kings ever since I turned on the tube and saw the Kings warming up and the first person I saw was Chris Webber. Ever since, I've been a die-hard. I even have the Super Sports Pack on my television so I won't miss a game. 

 

On another note, I was thinking of visiting Sacramento in the summertime and from all of the commercials I've seen, this is my list thus far:

- Visit Arco

- Eat a Round Table Pizza

- Eat a Big Carl 

- Listen to Sacramento 1140

 

If you guys have any other suggestions please add onto my list, and I look forward to the rest of the season with the rest of you guys

 

 

Thanks for your time,

Jumowbray

You don't need to come to Sac to listen to 1140.

You can actually do that over the internet radio. Visiting Arco is pointless unless there is a Kings game going on. It’s not like Toronto. Weather in November is usually in the 50/60’s.

Carl’s Jr is not everything it’s cracked up to be. This is especially true of Round Table.

You gotta hit up

The Squeeze Inn. Get yourself a Squeeze with cheese.

i think i am the one idiot here who has yet to go to the Squeeze

but Fords has always been a staple here too. Right by the zoo (although no i don’t recommend you going to the zoo)

Could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?

I'm not shitting on anyone who spends money so that I can see the games on the air for the low cost of cable TV, instead of having to buy some bullshit package.

We don’t have giant corporate headquarters here. Thank you Zoom Copiers, Roni Deutsche, and the rest of you.

if you're planning to spend you summer vacation in Sacramento

you need to go to the river… and drown yourself.

This

It’s not exactly a destination spot – I love the town personally, but there’s not a whole hell of a lot to see. It’s a good midpoint from Sacramento and Tahoe though – so you could stay here and go visit those other locations. Too bad you aren’t coming during the winter, because there is some great skiing in the Tahoe area.

I will say that there is some great golfing here, and if you like the outdoors (fishing especially) there aren’t many better places to be. If you’re a train enthusiast, the railroad museum downtown is a must. There is some regional wine tasting that isn’t too bad, and you can always take a day trip to Napa if you like.

Otherwise, go into San Francisco, catch a Giants game and hit some restaurants and bars. Or go to Tahoe and do some gambling.

And ditto the welcome to StR.

I don't know if any of the higher ups here have told you yet JuMonwbray

but in order to comment on this website, you are going to have to get a physical. Don’t worry, it’s standard procedure; however, because of the fact that you are a freedom fry hating foreigner, they are going to have to be a little more thorough with you and give you the full body treatment.

I believe iashwash is the attending physician today. Watch out for him, he’s a tricky one. I would recommend some lube because the guys hands are like frickin bear paws.

Hope you pass! Just remember, no means no … expect with iashwash yes means no, but don’t worry you’ll figure it out soon enough.

Sactown highlights

In summer. Tuesdays have the naked lady parade on K strteet, The 18-25 bracket is at 7 am so get there early.
I doubt you care but Wednesdays is the naked guy parade, I only bring this up becuasse I hold the record of being seen on 7th 8th and ninth streets at the same time because I brought a Megan Fox pic with me that day. I also sold a great deal of advertising space that day but I digress.
Hookers are 2 for 1 on Thurdays.
The Governator signs autographs on Fridays, do not be alarmed when you find out he is only 5’7.
I hear rafting is good, but I have lived here almost 60 years and never seen a river,
There are no Bars or Clubs.
Sac is a comfortable 80-85 degrees in Summer.
The good news is that most old people are required to hide in the house after 8 pm except on game days (Rivercats or Kings).
Good luck…look forward to seeing you.

you all are derelicts of the highest order

Jumowbray, Welcome, new friend to StR.

The Sacramento area is a valley and very hot (>38 C) most days with clear skies, no rain. The hillsides turn a golden brown – thus the reason that California is the golden state.
If you have never been to the area, you would airport into SFO, San Francisco. See the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz, Fisherman’s Wharf and if you like baseball, AT&T has a pastoral feel. Moving east, the Napa wine country is interesting with both culinary and wine tour treats.
Sacramento has the State Capitol building and Old Town has a railroad museum. ARCO Arena for a Kings game would be the choice but otherwise it is a large covered stadium out of Sacramento proper.

We look forward to hearing more from you.

by betweentheeyes on Feb 8, 2010 12:28 PM PST reply actions   1 recs

Just to stick up for Sac

Although lots of things around here suck, I may as well point out the:

excellent restaurant scene – sort of like a mini-SF without the bloated prices
acceptable bar scene
above average live music happenings

If you can try to be here to check out the Second Saturday artwalk.

Really, Sac is not at all a bad place to live!

My suggestion...

If you want a good burger that you can only get on the west coast, don’t go to Carl’s Jr (they do have some decent burgers there, though). Go to In-n-Out. THAT’s the place to visit, if you visit a fast food joint on the west.

by CloudyEyes on Feb 8, 2010 2:46 PM PST reply actions

I'd suggest going to Old Sac, it's worth 3 or 4 hours of your day while you're here.

Also, you’ve got to head to Frisco and hit up Pier 39 and some of the other places around there.

Try to get late summer (like August or so, when it starts to turn into fall), it won’t be as hot. You’ll also have a good chance of catching the State Fair. It’s another thing that’s worth a day.

If you want the “Californian” experience, I’d suggest Santa Cruz. It’s a total beach bum area, and it’s about as stereotypically Californian as you can get. You also have to get Marianne’s Ice Cream while you’re there.

I'm pretty sure they moved the State Fair to July

to accomodate the school kids starting back earlier.

If you go to the State Fair

Go during the day. Trust me…

also if you choose to go during the day

Make sure to buy a water from the people across the street from the parking lot. The set up might be slightly ghetto but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than buying water at the fair and it gets ridiculously hot out there.

Willies on 16th & Broadway is the best. Get a slammer(chili berger) or hammer with pastrami(pastrami berger) & chili cheese fries. Instant heart attack it’s awesome!
