Gather Round AN, Its fANfest!

by lynnzgal on Jan 28, 2009 7:55 PM PST Comment 36 comments

Just a reminder to save the date for our very own fANfest.

Who: Any and all ANers, regardless of seniority

What: fANfest

Where: The John Lewis Glass showroom at 10208 Pearmain Street, Oakland 94603

When: Sunday, Feb. 8, 12 - 4 p.m.

Why: Because we need some baseball and fun

The boys and I have been working hard to get the showroom PaR-tAY!!111 ready, and I think you'll all be blown away. We've never had a party there we didn't like and we hope you'll like it too. We're going all out!

Leopold Bloom (my favorite and only sign guy) has been kind enough to come up with a banner for us and I have a little glass party favor (thanks again to LB for the help) to remind you of the wild and crazy time we will have.

We'll do another post at the beginning of next week to get the head count and nail down who can do and bring what. I'm excited, and I hope to see as many of you there as possible. Go A's!

I'm in

and have meaning to ask what I can contribute.

BTW, are clothes a must or are they optional? Just curious. Either way is fine.

I'm here to talk about the past.

I'm a definite and Cindi's a maybe

And clothes are listed as “probable”.

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

Mine are on the 60-day DL

but might be done for the year.

We still need stuff

I’ll put together a more formal list later, but check out this and the comments below it.

And clothes “probable”? Isn’t Cindi still a minor?

Nico, why don’t you take a seat?

Cindi is indeed still a minor

She’s 16, as she has been for three years now.

A Mychael Urban Dunk Tank would make this a huge success

But even if you can’t get that part of it together, I’d probably like to drop by.

Never volunteer for a dunk tank suggested by someone named Soaker

That’s my advice.

It would be nice to see Mychael Urban attend.

He is a member of our community.

Game 3 of the 2001 ALDS on VHS if we want to turn this into a Masochist’s Ball. mANsochist?

Thank you,

but I think we’re having this, that is if green star oakland is still projecting?

Bring yourself and your vids.

I, being an A’s fan, am definitely a mANochist, Definitely.

I'm a type A personality,

so forgive me and feel free to smack me around if I get a little manic.

Do I have to forgive you

or can I go straight to the smacking around?

Thanks for linking that video

Chills. I was right behind the Twins dugout for that game. It was awesome watching them come in after each inning with a sense of mounting dread apparent in the deepening furrow of their collective brow.

It was like a party from the time Marco Scutaro hit that double until… well, until Barry Zito got shelled against the Tigers.

yeah, that was fun

i had bleacher tickets, so i skipped off work. great atmosphere!

when did we stop using adverbs proper?

The best atmosphere for any game

It was the best day at the yard I experienced. Right up there with the game 3 with Jeter’s flip/Jeremy’s nonslide (which was a much better game with a much worse result).

by jeffro on Jan 29, 2009 3:29 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I'll definitely be there

Is it OK to bring non-AN A’s fans?

by skigurl on Jan 29, 2009 10:47 AM PST reply actions 0 recs

I hope so

Because I am planning to bring one (though to certain AN’ers chagrin, it is not the cheerleader on my football post)

a glass party favor?

in my circle of friends, that means someone’s bringing out the green bud…

some DVD's/tapes

I have the DVD with all (4) World Series highlights on it, the tapes of the 1989 World Series (full games), and that tape of the HBO doc (on the 70’s, A’s/Raiders). Not enough time for all, but I’ll bring them anyway.

I'm here to talk about the past.
