Okay, Here's What I'm Willing to Do...

I live in Oakland about 15 minutes from the Coli and go to just about all of the  A's games, including Spring Training & selected A's road trips.

I am spoiled rotten, but not to the extent that I cannot be considerate of  those less fortunate. So often, after a giveaway, some poor soul comes on the board asking whether anyone has an extra giveaway item.

I believe in being proactive, for those who are out of state, can't get to the game or can't get anyone to get them a giveaway.

I am willing to go through the line once or twice per giveaway for those who sincerely can't get to the game & who can't live without the giveaway.

All I ask is to be reimbursed the cost of the ticket that I will have to pay for re-entry & postage, if I have to mail it to you.  

Also, I have an extremely busy schedule and may not be able to mail it as soon as one would like, but it will get mailed.

My offer is for those who just can't get to the game, not those who choose  not to go and figure this is a cheaper way to get a giveaway. So, if you fall in the aforementioned category, let me know & I'll see what I can do. 

If I agree to get a giveaway for someone who lives w/i a reasonable driving distance....you gotta pick it up. Oh and I will screen the requests, not to be  picky  but since I would be putting myself, my time  & my money out, I want to make sure it's for those who I mentioned above.

I was thinking of the game Sunday...

...where they're giving away the 40-year Virgin A's history DVD.

My problem is I work weekends.

I was just going to consider waiting for it to go up on eBay but if you'd be kind enough to try getting one of these for me with a bleacher seat I'd be happy to pay for it and a few extra bucks for the trouble.

I live in Hayward so I could potentially pick it up, but it depends on when we'd both be available given that my days off are Wed-Fri.

Let me know? Thanks.

Sure, Flash I'll pick up one

for you. We'll arrange pick-up/delivery later

So, if your compatriots will kindly stop hi-jacking my thread I would sooooo..... appreciate it.

Is that what happens when you have sex?

Now it all makes sense.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
