Last Call, Tonight's Meet-Up

Ok, this is the final round-up for tonight's game, where we get a free shirt to carry around for 3 hours.

If I understand correctly, all tickets will be under the control of people at a pre-game concert drinking $3.50 beers. The plan is for those who show up later  to call one of the revelers on a cell, who will in turn hand them a beer soaked ticket though the gate. The concert is on the "Fan Zone" pavilion? by the HOF, so come around the front and make the call.

I think everyone pretty much has everyone's number at this point, but if you don't or would like to meet up, send an e-mail to Slyde, obc, chandrathan, Ash, Red Menace, or myself and we'll send our digits. Caleb, you got someone's number?

I plan on getting there no later than 5. chandrathan, when you getting there and where are you parking? I want to stash my helmet and jacket in your ride if you don't mind.

As always, don't hesitate to join us even if you don't post often or have debated whether we sound normal enough to meet. What do you have to loose? I'll even buy you a brew. Hopefully Slyde can get jch, the 24 series, to come over and meet the rest of the gaggle.

It's been offered before and it's sincere, if you come out and can't sit with the main set of seats, we have no problem splitting up and sitting with you.


UPDATE: I have been informed the seats are not together, there are four behind each dugout. So keep your stub handy so we can rotate at least once or twice

The Final Countdown
Looks like I should be arriving downtown roundabouts of 445-515.  I'm gonna park in a garage on Main St, between 4th and 5th streets(on the right hand side just past Walgreens/CVS).  It's $8 and only 2 blocks north of the ballpark.  The people who run it are good people, read: fmr clients. I'm sure Slyde will be parking there also.

The Paul Otten Band does have "Don't Stop Believing" in their repetoire, fyi.  

It looks like a beautiful evening, perfect weather for baseball.  

Is it ignorance or apathy? Hey, I don't know and I don't care...

So, it will just be us out of towners
.... on the Game thread tonight.  Hopefully, you all have a nice evening and a Reds win to enjoy.  We'll do our part from cyberspace.

Good Man
Repel any horde of invaders. The shotgun is on the mantle and make sure your sister brushes her teeth.

I wish I could get "Sister Christian" on the bmx for the ride down. It. Would. Pump. Me. Up!

I will be there right around five...
I have to pick Chandra up from work at 4:30.  She works in Cold Spring, so it's a quick trip over to the ballpark.

I was planning on parking in Newport because it's cheap, but Chandra said she didn't want to walk accross the river...

So I'll probably park in the same garage as obc.  I have no problem with you storing your stuff in my car.  Just let me know for sure that that garage is ok with you, and I'll give you a call when I'm almost there.

We're wanted men, we'll strike again...but first let's have a beer!

I will be there
Not sure what time I will be getting there at this point, I'm probably going to call it a day here soon since I started EARLY this morning.

I will definitely be calling Slyde and meeting up, I think in the Machine Room since he's fond of the Captain & Coke, then coming to introduce myself to everyone else I'm guessing.

Also, sukr, I have your # as well, in case Slyde doesn't answer. Be forewarned. :)

I'd post a pic to show you what I look like, but:

  1. I'm lazy
  2. I'm easy to spot - I'm the tall, skinny, goofy-looking guy

Tall and Goofy...
Like that doesn't describe all of us...

It doesn't.
you guys are skinny, tall and goofy. I'm fat, tall and goofy. Please don't stereotype. :))

Well.....
The only two I've heard re: myself are David Cassidy ('70s version but with short hair), and Matthew Lillard until I got all thirty and stuff.

Here's me

Though I'll probably be wearing a Reds hat.  I hope that doesn't throw you off.

I'll be down around 5pm
maybe a little earlier.  I guess I'll park in the Main Street garage, since everybody else is doing it (I just wanna be cool, is that wrong?).  I will have camera in tow for many fine pictures of baseballing players.

I'll be there tonight

Take pictures
and meet up with us afterward so we can play "Trump or Monkey" while we celebrate our win at a watering hole, whichever we end up at.

I'll be down there too
Hooray for half-off college night.  Probably won't get there till 6 or so though, going with a big group.
