AN Home Opener Tailgate...Update!

Hi Y'all!

So the A's home opener is just a month away.  Pam5981 and I are considering organizing an AN tailgate to celebrate what we hope is an auspicious year for our beloved team.  

I know many of our AN family are attending from near and far. It would would be good fun to get together, share some great food and even greater memories, and conjecture endlessly about the A's chances in 2009.

So our question is...are you in?

Update:  Thanks to everyone for chiming in.  It looks like we'll have a great turn out!  I'm told we can get into the parking lot starting at 3:30 pm, so those of you who can come early, that's your cue!  I will definitely be an early bird.  I need to check with those in the know about the where, and we will update you in a couple of weeks about that.  You've obviously already saved the date, but be thinking about what, if any, contributions you'd like to make in the way of food, bevs, grills, etc.  We'll have another poll to nail that down when we update.  We're going to have too much fun!

Go A's!

Sorry guys.

Thought I was editing the original post. I obviously don’t have a very good handle on this posting stuff yet.

So do we use this one instead?

The only problem I have with bringing anything is that I work in the city and I take BART to the game, so I have limited carrying ability.

So just bring yourself.

My experience so far is, there’s more than enough for whoever shows up.

I'm not going to this one. I'm going to the one in the other thread. ;X

I'm going to both.

I figure I’ll show up on time to one of of them.

Glad to help with whatever is needed. Like if you need sporks, I can bring those.

I'm here to talk about the past.

3:30 it is!

I’ll pass this on to saint and the rest of our crew. Maybe we will bring an A’s banner/flag with us to help identify our posse. But for sure we always set up on the north side in front of the “Mac” sign with the cement blocks. I’ll see what everyone is planning on bringing but as has been pointed out already, there is usually more than enough grub for all. But definitely byob if you want to drink like a pirate!

Go A’s!

"heer" means "army" in German

so…“Army ship”? Interesting concept!

Not sure my exact schedule that day

I’ll likely be an early bird, look forward to meeting some of AN.

I will be there

I have never met a fellow ANer (although Blez once came to my house in Sacramento to pick up a Bobby Crosby Bobblehead)… I am excited.

I'll be there

I’ll BART it there with my pops, so we can bring some sort of food but not a BBQ or the like.

Going to Opening Day

and I might be able to show up, but I’m coming from Marin and I dunno what my schedule’s going to look like. I’m BARTing it, but there oughta be something that’ll survive the trip.
