Totally informal game meetup this Saturday?

Well I’m new here, but if I didn’t live 2.5 hours away from GABP I would defintely be there. It is things like this, and the Reds in general, that make me want to live in the Cincinnati area. Have fun, I’ll be down on the 16th of July for the Cards game.

I might be in, but I would say the Levee is a poor choice.

I’ve said before, Covington has cheap/free parking and cheaper bars than the Levee. Plus, Molly Malone’s has a free shuttle to and from all games and the guy who drives is named Raisin, which is awesome.

Or even if I just like such as judged a fish contest that would get me outta the house and in some air.

So I could probably do this.

Don’t have any suggestions for a meetup location, as I am a loser and not terribly hip to the nightlife. I do agree with ManBearPig, though – the Levee sucks.
