It's been about a year and a half since we launched this here blog, and as we continue to evolve in the way we follow our favorite teams, we know blogs have become a big part of the scene. That is why we are announcing our first ever Blog Night at Philips Arena, to be held February 5 for the Lakers game.

Basically, we are extending an invite to anyone with an Atlanta-area blog to join us at the arena, bring your laptop, and live blog your experience! This is an open invitation to anyone who enjoys writing about their lives, their favorite teams (hopefully us!), or their areas of expertise to come down and give your thoughts on a night at the rink, completely uncensored!

The details are still being put together, but we are hoping the night will include:

- free entry to the game
- a tour of some of the highlights of the arena before game time
- a meal (free food - who can beat that!)
- a comfortable seat where you can use the arena's wireless to give commentary on the game as you watch it
- potential access to postgame coach press activities

So, if you have a blog and are interested in joining us for the night, email us at hawks.mailbag@atlantaspirit.com and let us know. Please include a link to your blog so we can check it out.

This should be a lot of fun, and maybe the start of some fun things to come!

Hope to see you then!
