An AN FanFest?
by JLaff on Jan 13, 2009 7:15 PM PST
Email
PrintJust because FanFest has been canceled this year doesn't mean that we resourceful ANers can't get an A's fix before Spring Training.
EDIT:
Who: Any and all ANers, regardless of seniority
What: FanFest
Where: Lynnzgal's showroom at 10208 Pearmain Street, Oakland 94603
When: Sunday, Feb. 8, 12 - 4 p.m.
Why: Because we need some baseball and fun
It sounds like visual entertainment shouldn't be a problem, and I have a couple DVDs I can also contribute. I think we should have a trivia game, too. Any other ideas? We could even sell beer and soda at exorbitant prices. Kraut, if provided, will be free.
Also, thanks everyone (hat tip to lynnzgal) for making this possible. A week or so before the event, I'd like to get a head count of how many people we'll have.
Gigglingone and I had an idea for AN to have its own "FanFest," albeit not as star-studded as the real one.
The possibilities are endless:
- A guided, roped-off tour of the Coliseum parking lot, a sports-themed restaurant, an ANer's home, or some other venue in the Bay Area.
- Q&A with AN's front page writers (be careful what you ask monkeyball and be sure to pronounce grover with a lower-case g!)
- Sign each others' baseballs, caps and jerseys for $20.
- Discuss whether or not AN should trade a poster or two to Deadspin or the ESPN A's board at the deadline.
- Trade/sell/giveaway bobbleheads, figurines, jerseys and other A's memorabilia.
- Have your picture taken with a picture of a World Series trophy.
and more...
We just need a time and a place to meet. If you choose to host this event, tarping off the roof or top story of your house is optional. I figured a Saturday or a Sunday would be best.
Would there be any interest in an offseason AN Day/FanFest/casual gathering?

I was at the Coli today
and the replacement event called this actually sounds alright. Its supposed to be a travel day for the team, but the full 25 man roster will be there to work out. Just saying.

Thing is, a FanFest should be BEFORE the season
Once the season is here, I don’t need a FanFest I need to go to the games, or watch them, or listen to them. To me the timing is the big problem with the replacement event – the event itself is probably fine.

Sigh — if things were normal, FanFest would be next weekend.

I know,
Its not the same. Having said that, I actually have the perfect venue. Our showroom off of 98th is big enough to hold a crowd. It has full cooking facilities and a nice big wall we could show past games on if we can get a digital projector. I’m pretty sure the boss won’t mind (I’m owed). The only thing is we should prolly have a couple of guys to watch out for the cars on the street. Its not the best area as you know, but nothing has ever happened at our other parties. I’m totally willing!

Ditto that.
It should be before SPRING TRAINING, not just before the season. It should be right in the middle of winter, as a signal to our collective circadian baseball rhythm that the long, dark offseason is almost over and we can switch into happy anticipation mode.

I would definitely be interested in this
I too miss having FanFest in January, largely due to reasons already cited. I think an AN FanFest would be a nice substitute. The venue that Lynnzgal describes sounds pretty close to perfect and I have several A’s DVDs (and one great VHS tape) that I’d be more than happy to bring.
Barring that, you could also count on me to bring the Stomper puppet. I was, I don’t know, fortunate (maybe baffled?) enough to get one as a giveaway from Planet Green for a game last June, the third game of a sweep of the Tigers. It’s sitting on my couch as I type this.
So yes, count me in. And if there’s anything more specific I can do to help, just let me know.

Sunday 2-8 is somewhat better for me than Sat 2-7
But I’ll be there regardless. Fabulous idea, thanks J and g for organizing and lynnzgal for the hosting possibility.

devo knows that #14fan is a girl ...
devo ascertained that when #14fan was writing in third person and referred to herself as “she”.
Devo is sure that #14fan is a very pretty girl, he just saw the opportunity to make a joke, based on #14fan’s picture of Mark Ellis as her little profile picture. Devo apologizes to #14fan if he offended in his joke, he certainly did not mean it in such a way.

Leopold supports Devo in Devo doing that.
Sometimes Leopold looks at Leopold in the mirror, naked, and says, “Leopold, why you always talking like that?” Then Leopold gets distracted by Little Leopold and Leopold makes a funny, high-pitched voice like Little Leopold could talk and LL says, “Hey Leopold, how’s come you always making Little Leopold do the elephant dance for you? don’t you think LL has better things to do with Little Leopold’s time? Why Leopold always gotta be playing?”
Then Leopold takes a nap.

If so, I may have to spray paint some flipflops….or, some shoes from Goodwill.

(He also mentioned that it’s not nearly as exciting as Kim Kardashian’s new nose, hence his inability to sell it to US Weekly.)
This guy says that this video, known only as “Fat Lady,” may get a public airing at this very AN FanFest should a road trip not end up happening. He finished by saying that if you were to make it, he would allow you to destroy the video and he would never mention it again. He’s a kind of a strange one, this guy.

Thanks.

Ooh ooh - get Keith Foulke to pitch in food
I like big meatballs!

Awww...that pic would be cute if it weren't for the tongue and the girl attached to it.

Has the date
been finalized? I see the 8th is leading in the poll, but maybe when someone makes the final call a new diary thread should be started with official date/time/location.
Also, may I propose a trading post? We’ve had virtual ones, but maybe people can bring their extra bobbleheads/posters/pins/unicorns to trade or sell. Just a thought.
It's finalized
Where: Lynnzgal’s showroom at 10208 Pearmain Street, Oakland 94603
When: Sunday, Feb. 8, 12 – 4 p.m.
And the trading post sounds like a great idea.

So the building isn't marked except for the address
but you’ll know where the party is, and I’ll be there to greet you. Not saying how exactly, but you’ll be greeted.

The Zebras have paid off the innkeeper, Nico.
Other than that, if we’re a go I’ll look into getting some food donated lynnzgal. Pizza anyone?
Thank you!
Pizza is always popular, but (not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything) any chance of getting a donation of burgers and/or dogs?

is there a pre party tailgate?
which will go on about twenty minutes too long, meaning we miss the best bits and just watch a lot of stricking out after that?
um, yeah.
i should be able to make it (lots to sort between then and now), and if i do, i’ll bring the liberal elitist vegetarian options….
plus, is it BYO kraut?
when did we stop using adverbs proper?

I'm not coming unless someone else supplies the kraut

Thanks (to you and all who plan on contributing)
I’ll put out another fanpost later on to get a rough headcount and re-post the pot luck list.

I will be there
Perhaps I should put out a “poll” as to whether I move my quarterly shower back from 3/31 to 2/8 early AM, or would the 12/31/08 shower still be “effective” when February 8th rolls around…???
….this after much physical pooshing and shuv-ving on StuperBowl Sunday, mind you….
….darn, this means the traditional Sat Nite Cheese/Bean Dip, Beer & cabbage meal is prolly a “no go”, as the blasting usually stays fairly loud with the reports thru Sunday 2-3PM or so…that’s no fun at a party!!! I mean, fun for other people….
Officially awaiting the 2009 season.

I just want to guard the cars...
I’ll recruit some Raider fans to help.
Clowns to the left of me... Jokers to the right...
I’m a lurker, but this sounds like fun. Count me in! And I’ll watch out for the pot luck list!

How old is LMSK ?
I’m thinking of bringing Lily (3.5) and the presence of other children of similar-ish age would factor into the decision.

The fact that Leopold Bloom will be there should cancel it out, no?

She's 8
Due to several factors (hence the “special” part of her name), she’d probably get along pretty well with your preschooler.
