ABOUT THE SOCIETY

PUBLISHER

ANDREW R TONRY
Andrew R Tonry is a writer from Portland, Oregon. On most weekdays he stays up into the early morning, sometimes working diligently, other times not. He has contributed to MTV, The AP, The Portland Mercury, Skyscraper Magazine, The Tico Times, NBA.com, and more. He also blogs about music for End Hits.

He is currently trapped in a hippie tea-house, waiting for a stand-by flight out of Denver. He hopes it will come soon.

Tonry grew up in Oregon, and once dunked a basketball on the courts under the bridge in Eugene where the hoops are just below regulation.

CONTRIBUTORS

EZRA ACE CARAEFF
In addition to being a contributor to the Portland Roundball Society, Ezra Ace Caraeff also covers the Blazers for the non-award winning alternative weekly, the Portland Mercury. He's done so for three years. Caraeff's work has also appeared in The Stranger, Fader, and various other publications that never cover the great sport of basketball. Previous to his comfortable life on press row, Caraeff spent years watching games in the 300 level of the Rose Garden and once seriously considered purchasing a Ha Seung-Jin replica jersey. He can almost dunk a basketball.

NATHAN BEGLEY
Nathan M. Begley is a Law Student currently in San Antonio, Texas. An Oregonian in exile, Nathan hasn't been to the Rose Garden in some time, but has caught the Blazers on the road in various cities throughout the nation and Tivo's every game. Nathan has contributed to a few minor publications such as The Lee Clarion and is a BlazersEdge alumni.

When Nathan was very young, his father nicknamed him "Drexler," and would regale his wide-eyed son with tales of a mythical 7'3" Lithuanian who whipped no-look passes behind his back like a point guard, and of last second game winning lay-ins by Billy Ray Bates.

Nathan can jump up and touch the backboard.
