'CredsFest! RR Meetup: Wednesday, April 20

by nycredsfan on Apr 14, 2011 12:59 PM EDT

It's spring break chumps! This year I convinced Mrs. 'Creds to allow me to take a roadtrip with our dog to see the family and watch some baseball. I'll be in town next week and I'd love to hang with you psychos!

I know midweek isn't ideal, but the game I'm proposing we meet up for is next Wednesday's Titanic Struggle against the Diamondbacks. Same deal as the normal Game 2 Festivities. We'll meet at Brothers in Newport on the Levee, get a drink (or 3), and around gametime walk over the bridge and buy our tickets. I plan to be there at about 5 or 5:30. First person there, your drink is on me!

If you can make it, say so in the comments. Or email me at the address at the bottom of the site. Or just show up! Either way, I'd love to see as many of you as possible there! (I know a few of the usual suspects will be there.) If there's enough of us, maybe we can even start a chant for Slyde and get Jim Day to interview us.

I can probably swing this once I figure out where Brothers is.

I’ll likely park on the Cincinnati side and walk over to Brothers-way easier for me to get home and I have to work Thursday.

Depending on traffic, I’ll probably be there between 6-6:30.

Plus, if I left him at home he’d be alone for a loooong time because my wife works long days.

my dog could never go to a baseball game

it would be a miserable experience for myself. She would be on sensory overload, and want to see every dog, and eat all the food she smells, and would not be okay with sitting with us on a leash for 3 hours while we watch a game.

I don’t really get bark in the park, I like my dog and I like baseball, but really wouldn’t enjoy a baseball game with my dog.

I'm the same actually

My dog is the best, but he’d be terrible at a ball game. He wouldn’t sit still for very long, he’d bark at all the other dogs, and he’d want to eat everything.

Jamie Ramsey jokingly suggested a "Purr in the Park" day for cat lovers

Sweet merciful crap, can you imagine 600 cats at GABP? I have two cats and I love them, but that would be unprecedented chaos.

I was at a Bark in the Park once, and it’s actually a cool setup. There is a spot behind the seats with water, food and places to go potty and run around a bit. Most of them do pretty well, and one chick who took her dog said that they are pretty stern when you order tickets about not bringing excitable dogs who can’t handle crowds.

I think they said when GABP came down it dishomed a shitton of cats.

My folks dog would be a no go under their rules. I mean she is sweat and friendly, but she has no manners. We found her at about 6 months at a shelter, where she showed up as a stray a few weeks prior. We think her first owner did nothing in the way of training her, so she is much better behaved when she use to be but still has a long way to go.

The dog of my childhood would hate bark in the park, because she didn’t care for other dogs, and hated loud noises.

Bark in the Park is a great idea until you accidentally buy tickets there

the Pirates

use their party deck for Bark in the Park day. So they’re pretty much isolated from everyone else.

Of course, the Pirates always have plenty of good seats still available…

The Pirates staff hate Bark in the Park. They said it’s a huge mess to clean up, during and after the game.

But maybe you can get them from a scalper for $2!

But according to jch24, scalpers turn you away so maybe the point is moot. ;-)

successfully survived my sister's wedding this weekend.

I finally get back to the ol’ laptop and RR and see this thread! And then, I notice it’s the day I get to wait from 2-5pm for the gas company to move my meter from the inside of the house to the outside of the house so they don’t have to send me those postcards with the dials on them to fill out anymore!

In other words, if they get done digging and destroying in time, I’ll hit the road and join you guys.
