The fANfest primer

   (Note from Nico - I'm putting this on the front page until the event has come and gone. Hope to see as many of you as possible!)

Who: Any and all ANers, regardless of seniority

What: fANfest

Where: The John Lewis Glass showroom at 10208 Pearmain Street, Oakland 94603 (google maps) (yahoo maps)

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

Why: Because we need some baseball and fun

Previous fANfest diaries:

- An AN FanFest?

- Gather Round AN...

Star-divide

Thanks, lynnzgal for setting up the showroom, it sounds like it's going to be awesome. She'll be there early in case anyone wants to get started on grilling, video set-up, et cetera. Leopold Bloom is making a banner, too (thanks!). There will also be a table for swapping/selling A's memorabilia.

From lynnzgal:

I'll have cutlery, plates, napkins, cups, aluminum pans, serving bowls, containers for icing beverages, and one gas grill.  I also have a fully functional kitchen including an oven for heating or cooking and a fridge.  Besides the memorabilia table, there are three other large, glass tables for serving food and bevs.

Please vote in the poll if you are coming so we have a rough headcount. This event is open to everyone, so if you just signed up for AN and want to meet some like-minded fans, feel free to show up! We'll even waive the initiation fee.

Food will be kind of a pot-luck style, so please, in the comments (or e-mail me), let us know what you can bring, and I'll update when I get home from work:

- Hot dogs/burgers (veggie and meat)
- Buns of both kinds
- Condiments
- Chips and dips
- Salads: Englishmajor (fruit)
- Beverages, both adult and regular: jaylikewise (beer), Englishmajor
- Desserts: gigglingone
- Plates/napkins/utensils

- Some sort of food: oblique, mrod, pam5981

- Veggie food: alea iacta est

I'll help chip in with whatever isn't brought.

I'm bringing 2-3-4 others

Can the poll be modified to indicate more than one person per vote? That’d give us a more accurate head count.

I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to attend now

I got scheduled to work in the afternoon on Sunday and then we have a mandatory staff meeting for three hours right after that. I’m soooo friggin bummed now. :(

I’m not normally scheduled for Sundays but they just started using this stupid computerized system to schedule everyone and so far it’s a total failure!!!!!

If for some reason I can get out of the afternoon shift I’ll make it up for AN fest but it doesn’t look good for now. Sorry, y’all. I was really looking forward to hanging out with many of you. Can someone make sure to take pics and post them afterwards. That would be cool…….

The cooks over at Safeway have Giants-loving sensibilities. Trader Joe’s, on the other hand, is all about the A’s love. (Or so their staff shirts at the College Ave store would seem to suggest.)

Heh, I like that I've become AN's Temescal representative

Can we break up into delegations (with we RAF representing our respective neighborhoods) and have a Mock Congress session during fANfest? Or would that just be asking for Blez to come in, slap us all with CGV stickers, and show us the door?

I do like the sound of “the distinguished gentleman from Temescal” though….

As for my food offering, I’m thinking I’ll aim for rack of lamb (for Lynnzgal) with a non-nut seasoning (per ZigFan31) sandwiched between one of Betty’s sandwich rolls (for Skigurl). You can say many things about me, but you can’t say I don’t listen to my constituents.

Great idea in theory

But although I live in a fabulous Oakland neighborhood, it is sadly bereft of decent restaurants. There are, however, a Taco Bell and a Subway nearby — I’ll take requests. Otherwise, I’ll have to trek to Temescal or some other better-endowed spot (restaurant-wise, that is). Or, I might just cook.

Among those who are coming, by any chance

does someone have a tape of Ken Korach’s call of Miggy’s walk-off HR (win #18) off Guardado? I would really like to have a copy, if anyone might be able to bring one as a “Sorry your dog is trying to croak” present. :-)

One of the greatest calls ever

But no, I don’t have it. :-(

I'm here to talk about the past.

I might or might not be there.

If I do, I expect the party to be like this combined with this.

Where's the poll option,

“I hate people and loathe having fun”? That would undoubtedly get, like, 150 votes!
