OMGEEEE!!!! #WarriorsParade #DubnationCelebration

It's been a few weeks and after finally completing some work projects I am able to sift through all of the pictures I took at the +Golden State Warriors #ChampionshipParade #DubnationCelebration that happened in #Oakland on June 19th. The Parade was stupendous and Oakland was beautiful with over 1.1 million fans decorating the city with blue, gold, and white. I was so proud of my city.

So I'm gonna get things started and post the first 10 or so pics that have been crowding space on memory stick. I got #HELLA pictures so please be patient and stay tuned because there is more to come in the near future. To view photos as I add them you can do one of three things:

#1 Like my page on Facebook--this way when new photos are posted they will more than likely show up in your timeline. You can find my Town Trippin's Facebook page here facebook.com/towntrippin

#2 Comeback to this page whenever you please and click here. Yes I do post on Facebook but I also post pictures of all the events that I photograph.

#3 Shoot me an email at hollaatus@towntrippin.net and I will email you whenever I post new pics --well until the last pic is posted--

IF YOU are READING THIS 

THE Golden State WARRIORS 

Embedded image permalink

are NBA World Champions

So the last time I spoke to y'all the Warriors were in the playoffs and I was giving you the Top 5 Reasons Watching Warriors Games on TV is Just as FUN as Being Inside R'Oracle Arena and unless you have been living under a rock since that post, you already know that the Golden State Warriors are the winners of said playoff run and sent every single one of their opponents into the record books as the team that couldn't stop the choo choo train known as the Golden State Warriors!!! Congrats to my favorite NBA squad. They deserve all the props and accolades coming their way.

While we are on the subject there has been heavy debate as to where exactly in the Bay Area represents the Warriors the best and of course being the author of this blog and long time fan I am quick to say Oakland. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) although the Warriors have been in Oakland for the past 40 years, the current owners of the GSW's are eager to move them back over the bridge to San Francisco for obvious reasons of course---insert your favorite song about money here--- Now I'm not gonna waste your eyeballs arguing over whether it's right, fair, or wrong. Of course it's wrong. All those big visions that Joe Lacob and the rest of his team have for what they want in San Francisco are theirs to have but I am a true believer that those visions are absolutely possible and would be best served in the town that the Warriors Headquarters currently reside in. But what do I know? I'm just a teacher with a penchant for most things digital who happens to have hella pride and love the city of my birth and upbringing HELLA MUCH. So I will say here what I have already said before openly quoting my rant from earlier today word for m'f n word...

"Y'all can say Bay Area 'til y'all blue and gold in the face but that trophy is coming back to Oakland first bishes..... ‪#‎townbizness‬"

This Facebook/Twitter status got a few peoples panties all up in a bunch and to that I say... So What! It's the truth. What? Am I not supposed to be upset with the the powers that be wanting to break up with Oakland for San Francisco because it supposed to be more profitable? Pffffsssstttt.... It aint more profitable for me. Besides, I have feelings, I wouldn't bleed blue and gold if that was the case.  So yeah I'm a little mad that the only two phrases the entire Warriors organization uses when describing the Warriors' actual proximity is "Bay Area" and "Oracle Arena" while visually hitting us with San Francisco images. Plastering "The City" on every thing else. Wait... didnt I say I wasnt gonna make this blog post all about the Warriors eventual move? Alright then....
