Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

CHEZ NICO - SATURDAY MAY 2ND, 4pm-9pm: Time To Sign Up!

The A's are in Seattle for a 6:10pm game on Saturday, May 2nd, a day that has Chez Nico: BYODA written all over it! BYODA stands for "Bring Your Own Dead Animal," as we will enjoy a pre-game barbecue, in the backyard of my North Berkeley home, around 4pm before adjourning to the living room to watch the game at 6:10pm.

For those not familiar with Chez Nico: BYODA events, the following officially qualify as dead animals: Beef, Pork, Rat, Tofu, Soy, Ostrich, Emu, Fish, Shrimp, Chicken, Squid, Polenta, Pretty Much Anything Else. Le Host can provide plates, utensils, and non-alcoholic beverages, with les guests bringing any alcoholic beverages they wish to imbibe. (The security check involves a fair amount of inappropriate fondling, but not the confiscation of any bottles or cans.)

My living room space can probably accommodate 15 comfortably, 20 uncomfortably, and 25 "gropy-molesty style," so I'm hoping for 30. All seriousness aside, though, if too many were to sign up I would need to cap it at around 20-25, going from the folks I know best and working backwards from there. So here's the deal...

HOW TO SIGN UP
To sign up (even if you have told me already that you plan to attend!!!), please send me an email (nico@lmi.net) no later than Saturday (April 18th) with "Chez Nico," and your user name, included in the subject line (this will make it easier for me to find specific emails later if I need to get back to you on something). In the body of the email, please make it clear whether you are signing up for the BBQ, the game, or both so that I can keep track of numbers!

I will then reply to confirm that you are on the list, with my address, and any other information you need to know, included in the email. (Or if necessary, I will reply to let you know if we are "sold out" and I can't include you on the list at the moment.)

Chez Nico is in da house! Literally. Just make sure to email if you want to be part of the magic. (Note: Please recommend this post so it stays up for a few days - thanks!)

Awesome

Can I sign up for the “gropy-molesty style” seating section? ;)

There's no crying in baseball!

Sure.

Everyone else will sit in the other section.

Urban: Hold on. That cougar in the corner is TOTALLY checking me out. Should I send her a mimosa? Do I slip the wedding ring off and hope she doesn't see the tan line, or is she old enough to not care?

I wouldn't miss this for the world!

Except that I can’t go. Have fun, guys and gals.

I'd love to be there, but...

Unfortunately (well, not that unfortunately) my baseball team is playing in the Coliseum…

I’ve got to figure out our rotation to make sure I’m starting that game…

but I’ll definitely be at the next one, Nico!

I so wish I could be there.

But unfortunately, I’ll be a little over 1,600 miles away.

I LOVE Chez Nicos....

I guess I am a complete dork for Chez Nico…

There are always great grillables and sometimes even a heat meiser or two. How crazy should we make this Chez? Drums? Space Cake?

But when they start scheming us the way these guys did, and we weren't particularly ready for it, anything can happen."

Think "CRAY-ZEE!!!

but the neighbors don’t complain. Email me if you’re coming so I can put on “the list”!

She is a DARLING:

And a Little Bull. If this is a family thing then I may bring the whole lot. Four of us…Is that too many?

Should be fine - but you need to email me

Right now I don’t have any saints on the list. Email me with particulars and I can get back to you.

LMAO!!! Did anyone admit to eating the cake?

I laugh my but off when I think of someone not realizing what they ate until an hour or so later when they look in the mirror and think they are at a Dali Exibit!!!
