PrintI am pleased to announce to AN this morning that we have received an anonymous donation from an AN user who has covered the entire cost of renting a tailgate area in the parking lot, so we now have a reserved section for July 12th's game!
Thank you very much. Everyone appreciates your kindness.
This section is located in a different area than the normal parking lot, so it is now more of a 'walk up' event, which we hope will be easier to find. We still need a couple of tables, and some chairs, and the BBQ's I was promised, but we have our own bathrooms (in the loose definition), and a place to dump our coals.
This is just a reminder: I am ordering tickets to this event within the next two weeks, so if you would like to purchase a ticket for $22 (regularly $30), to sit with AN during the game, please PayPal me ASAP at baseballgirl1976 at hotmail dot com for $22 a ticket or email me if you would like to send me a check (tickets will be mailed as soon as I receive them).
Anything extra you guys can bring (especially my Oakland residents) would be appreciated, since this event is 'bring your own tailgate stuff', which means we are looking at tables, chairs, coolers, buns, condiments, meat, drinks, etc. etc, and hopefully we can have enough extra to share with out-of-town ANers. I have a short list of people who have emailed me with offers to help, and I will get an email out coordinating some of this soon.
But BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!!!!! And let me know if you're coming to the great AN tailgate!!!! (Poll below for a rough count)

We take this food challenge with the utmost gravity
Oh yes, very seriously. I will be there with my smoker for baby back ribs, plus a fresh salmon I can wink out of Half Moon Bay, I have people there.
A standard grill for chicken and kabobs, cocktails, fine wines and beer, a table, many chairs, and an extra cooler. Superlative fresh green salad offered with the standard potato salad, that’s very important.
Please join us, cooks hate it when no one is around to eat. Come feast with us and have a great time, there is nothing to bring but yourself.
This is going to be great...thanks!
So, bring on Bonds! Or, not... then, bring back Langerhans!! -One won lost one

uh ... AN 3.0 strikes again ...
Weird. It retroactively changed my post.
Riposte was supposed to be: “Remember, no handling of salmon under suspicious circumstances.”

I generally bemoan the profusion of Mr Sabermetric Sporks in the Scrabble ranks who don't know the meaning or usage of 50% of the words they use. -monkeyball
No. I'm sure we could find a midwife in the crowd if needed!
Story Time: Mr. Poppy & I went to a big Ultimate Frisbee thing with his friends while I was about 8.85 months pregnant (he played in the Frisbee game, obviously, not me). Someone asked me when I was due… I said, “Wednesday.” They moved away from me like I was about to explode.

If anything, my wife's a Doula

I had to look that up.
Cool. I’d be an amazing anti-Doula. I’ve got lots of terrifying stories.

Is it prurient? I don’t know what to tell you. I think it’s odd and interesting. It’s part of life. @('.')@
Oct 15 is the due date
We’ve pretty much (95% confidence interval) settled on the TBNL part.

You may likely be about to have a near-namesake.
(How’s that for a hedged bet?)

Thanks, BBG and Anonymous Tailgate-Area-Reserving Donor!
I was having second thoughts about promising to get there early enough to help stake out some spaces… :\

No diaper changing tables in the men's restrooms?
I think I just got myself bAnNeD from the Coliseum for the next 24 months. Shame that the free admission will go to waste.
So it goes.
Hunh. Really?
I’ve changed my own diaper in the Coli men’s restroom numerous times, and no one’s ever hassled me about it.

I saw some dude changing kid at a changing station in a bathroom this weekend

Thanks to the anonymous benefactor!
I’m so PSYCHED! Nice story about Daryl Rasner being a local Cali boy who used to watch a lot of A’s games. And I also noticed that Duke is leading the AL in ERA but hasn’t pitched enough innings to be on the leader board. Hope he kicks butt tonight!

Do you think Anonymous Benefactor
will pay for my expenses to AN Day?

just how much does 2,000 miles of Twizzlers and a wheelbarrow cost?
Is it prurient? I don’t know what to tell you. I think it’s odd and interesting. It’s part of life. @('.')@
Ran some quick math.. and assuming it is bought in bulk..
It’ll run you roughly $1.2 million for the twizzlers and you can pick up a cheap but sturdy wheelbarrow for around $120.
You've obviously never met him

No, she has
I was entirely covered in Twizzlers at the time.
