AN Home Opener Tailgate, The Final Countdown

The home opener is just a week away! Let the final countdown commence!
Time to solidify the celebration of this very blessed event. Forgive me if this sounds like a birth announcement, but in many ways, it is! Spring, baseball, laying eggs. Okay, let's hope the last one doesn't happen! So here's the plan. We are joining forces with saint and his crowd, who line up to get in the lot at 1:30pm. I will be doing the same, along with anyone else who would like to help with set up.
What: AN Home Opener Tailgate, A's vs. Seattle
When: Friday, April 10, 2009, 3:30pm to 6:30pm
Where: Left Side of the North Lot (the SF side, all the way forward, look for the flags and banners).
Why: Because...we love us some A's, and each other!
We will need:
- Help with set up.
- At least one grill, and whatever fuel to power.
- Yummy grilling bits. Dogs and burgers, or some manifestation thereof.
- Buns to put those bad boys into (nevermind!).
- Side dishes (horsedervers, crudeitay, and what have you.)
- Bevs
- Help with break down.
I still have plenty of paper goods/utensils from fANfest, so that part is good. As are condiments (yes, yes kraut boys, I gotcha covered!). And don't worry if you can't bring anything, because you'll be welcome regardless, rest assured. Just bring you.
We want to see you there!

I should make an appearance.
Got lucky and will be sitting in a suite that night. Prefer to sit among the real people, but it was free, so what the hell. I’ll let you know tomorrow what I can help with.

I've gotta run it by the War Dept, but there's a chance I could bring a gas grille.
also Makers Mark.

I hear about Makers Mark (always from you). Never tried the stuff. More of a Jack man myself. I might have to stop by just to have a shot. That is, if you’re sharing.

Most certainly.
Honestly it’s not a WHOLE lot different than JD is. Frankly, I think it’s a little bit less sweet tasting, which is why I like it more. Of course that could also be since I mix with diet cola instead of regular.
Oh, and also, it pisses off Pam. That’s always worth it.

Yeah, I mix with diet, too.
Lessens my chance of a hangover.
Well, you know what they say; any chance you can piss off Pam, do it. Do it now, do it twice.

Another inappropriate story,
brought to you by the letter “M”:
My first big drunk was on Jack Daniels. I was 14 and completely clueless on how the whole concept worked (let’s just say no one openly drank in my family). So we bought a fifth, and, having nothing else to mix it with, mixed it with Tab. Me and Mark Baker drank the whole bottle between us in 15 minutes. the last memory I have is he and I chasing each other around my house, trying to spit on each other.
I woke up in my own vomit. My room, having no cross-ventilation, smelled of Jack Daniels vomit for a good six months. That was 25 years ago and I still cannot smell Jack Daniels without gagging.

Exchange Jack Daniels for Jager
Well, Jager, a beer bong, and a tall glass of straight vodka. Mix and match as desired.
Then, mix in a period of being blacked out and not quite sure how one managed to get upstairs and change clothes, with the last memory being sitting outside smoking, handing the cigarette to somebody, and then expelling everything in my stomach for approximately an hour.
Man that was awesome.

Cadillac margaritas on an empty stomach. Leaving La Pinata to go to another Mexican dive, just to have something in me to throw up all over my bed afterwards, while my cousin decided the front porch was a more suitable place to lose his chicken quesadilla.

Here, here LP! Oh my god!!!!!!!!! HAd a night like that when I was 15 doing shots of JD with Mickey’s Big Mouth chasers……while playing “Quarters”.
I lost 8 times in a row….needless to say I was incapacitated afterwards, threw up in the middle of the road after asking my friend to pull his car over. Never been more sick in my life and I still can’t stand the smell of “Jack”…..nasty, mate!

On a much separate note
I wasn’t sure where to put this, or whether to do a fanpost on it…
Next Friday is also my son’s sister’s birthday. Maya will be 6. This will be her first birthday since she lost her father to a work-related accident last summer.
I would love to be able to do something, just to make it a better day (doesn’t have to be on her actual birthday). She is an absolute sweetheart, and I know when AN sets it mind on something, it can do ANything.
So just throwing it out there, and we’ll see where it lands. You can always e-mail me at the address in my profile.

For the record ...
According to the unimpeachable source (wikipedia ;-) , the Gaels did inhabit Scotland, and they did wear something like kilts, to wit: There is also evidence of the belted plaid (the precursor to the modern kilt) being worn by the 1500s.
And it’s windy there, too. 
Sheesh.

Okay okay -- something tamer but along GG1's line:
Seems a Scotsman had imbibed heavily at the local pub, and on his way home decided to nap against a tree beside the rood. As he slept, two saucy Scottish lasses happened by, and decided to resolve their curiosity about what wonders might await beneath a Scotsman’s kilt. As they admired the view, one lass took a blue ribbon from her hair and tied it there, as a gesture of appreciation.
The Scotsman later awoke and moved further into the glade to answer nature’s call. As he lifted his kilt and looked down, he said: “Aye, lad — I dinno whaer ye bin — boot I see ye’ve woon faerst prize!”

On an unrelated note,
I’ve managed to locate good Chinese food here in Florida. I’m a little scared what I’m eating, though.

It's completely related.
I’ve eaten Chinese and I’ve been to Florida. And I don’t feel like working today.
I'm here to talk about the past.

No it's not
I have eaten Chinese and I have never been to Florida, yet I do not feel like working either.
Enjoy the game

I am working, I have eaten Chinese food,
and I now wish neither were true.

I'll be there opening night...
but I am going with a large group of my daughter’s friends so I don’t think I can get down there. Plus I am sure I will be spending my time buying all of the 20 somethings beer hehe.

Any need for big old bags of chips?
Trying to think of things that won’t be too much of a hassle on BART. Not sure if I’ve succeeded, but I guess if it’s pre-rush hour it won’t be too crowded.

I’ll be down w/ whatever I can drag on BART as well- Salsa?
Bobby Crosby = ground-out triple play...

Nate and Brian, did you guys coordinate that?
Chips and salsa definitely work.

Nope
but I’ll be bringing a few big bags. Any requests for type? I thought I’d bring a few different types i.e. potato chips, tortilla chips and Doritos or the like.

Those all would be great, Nate.

I can bring some veggies, nibbles, and non-alcoholic bevs
I’ll get there early (1:30ish sounds possible) so can help with setup and space-saving.
Does anyone else think we need an AN banner to hang in the bleachers this year? “Small Market, Big Blog: athleticsnation.com”?

If Blez only had access to somebody with a sign shop...
And fast overnight delivery.

I think it's an executive decision for the HMFIC or the AHMFIC.
I certainly agree that volunteers should not bear the expense or maintenance unless they can’t stand it not-to.

Warriors game Friday also
Don’t forget that the Warriors are also playing a home game on April 10th (why do they schedule a Warriors game on the same evening as the A’s home opener?). So it could be crowded in the parking lot and on BART

I just got scheduled in a damn meeting
Who schedules meetings after noon on a Friday?
This means I won’t be there until after 5 pm… is that too late to bring hot dogs? I imagine most people will already be getting their grub on.

Coming with my Dad. We’re BARTing so we can’t bring anything, but we’d be happy to pitch in!
