OD Plans?

by snohio on Mar 22, 2011 10:00 AM EDT

It's about a week away now and I haven't read about any plans for Opening Day or Game 2.. I know I am seldom seen around here anymore (don't have that 3rd child and change positions within your company), but I'd still like to be a part of this time honored Red Reporter tradition.

So, has there been any discussion of a meet up in Cincinnati for those not lucky (or rich) enough to get OD Tickets? Me and the family are (weather permitting) going to go downtown for the parade. This should be one of the most attended parades because CPS and many other schools are on spring break that week. But once the parade is over, I've been cleared to head out and meet up with my favorite RR's of old and new.

If you'd like to meet up, throw out some ideas of where to do so.. In the past we've frequented the B-Dubs in Rookwood, being centrally located and away from the downtown madness, but I'm open to anywhere..

And second, has there been a discussion for the traditional game two madness? Amazingly, OD and Game two bookend Mile's 1st birthday (April Fools baby) and I've managed to get the clearance to have a little Reds fun! We should probably put together another FanPost for a game two comments.. Anyone willing to put this together??

I hope to meet some new folks this year as well as seeing all of the old timers.

I always believed in rigging my arm to a hydraulic device, that is connected to a foot pedal.

All of this would be used to pump the keg that people drink front. Think of my dead arm pumping the keg that is pouring your beer.

Effective: Yes

Creepy: Yes

Fun: Yes

Is it wrong? Hell no, but some people might frown on it.

I would bet my grandmother would not attend.

I sold a kidney and part of my liver and bought tickets for my parents, sister and myself to OD

We’re going to do the whole shebag-we’re starting at 8am on Rock Bottom on Fountain Square, watch the parade then hit the game.

We’ve also got tickets for Opening Night, and tentatively plan to hit the Reds Hall of Fame and perhaps wander Newport ahead of time. If anyone’s got better ideas, I’m open.

i’ll be scrambling to get to the interwebs in time for first pitch. my mother has an extra opening day ticket for me, but stupid united changed my flight from london so i don’t get into dc until 11am on the 31st after sitting in freaking heathrow for 11 hours. so there’s zero chance of me getting a flight and making it to cincinnati in time for the game. &^%$#@!

i’d say let’s meet up to watch opening night, but i’m probably going to denver on the 1st. probably catch a rockies game the next week. new stadium! fun!
