The Much-Anticipated AN Day VI!

It's hard to believe that it's been five years since the very first AN Day, but that's how far we've come. Thanks to last year's wildly successful AN tailgate, we've decided to replicate the event, but we need everyone's help!

AN Day will be held on Saturday, August 22 at 6:05 PM, which looks like the perfect night.There is no giveaway, so we can tailgate right up until first pitch, and it is a FIREWORKS night!  I want everyone to be able to come, so we are selling the tickets for $20 each at the group discount.

Group tickets are now on sale for this event. The A's play the Tigers that night, and the Coliseum has already sold a good number of tickets, so I have put some on hold. To order yours, simply PayPal me at baseballgirl1976 at hotmail dot com with your ticket money and your AN username.

For those of you who attended last year, we can all attest that we had a fantastic time, and we'd like to do it again. We had a trial run at AN FanFest in February, and a tailgate in April (pictured below); let's see if we can get the green and gold pasta, cupcakes, and drinks again!

We're also looking for BBQ volunteers, and people to bring food! Let me know via email or in the thread if you would like to help in any way.

Can't wait to see everyone, and to meet more new AN faces!

We convinced someone's parents way back when...

…was that Ohad? Or Robb? Can you bring one of your parents? Have Nico call them. He’s the responsible school teacher-ish type person.

To this day, I’m not certain how we did it without tipping the whole thing over. We tied it off with nylon clothes line.

Gargamel is in the yard, he gets my momma’s d**k so hard
she cannot she, she cannot think, she’s mixing up a whiskey drink
her sixteen kids from virgin births all love the Monkees and the Smurfs
but Evil John the gardener’s about to make things so much worse
(what’s this blue stuff between my toes?)
100 Smurfs we loved the most have now been turned into compost
(who ran the lawnmower over the secret Smurf village?)
now the Smurfs all live in fear of Honda, Toro, and John Deere

So I am doing two of my

favorite lunchtime pastimes at once:

reading AN, and a Bill Simmons mailbag (been a long time). Understand I am hardly a fan of his but enjoy the mailbags, which he always ends with “Yup these are my readers” (after closing with an off-the-wall letter). Today’s runner-up:

Q: I have no idea why, but I have a massive S&M crush on you. With other men, including my boyfriend, I’m pretty normal, but something about you makes me want to tie you up and have fun with you. It’s weird. This is not a drunk e-mail, or a high one, or anything like that. Can I get a “Yup, these are my readers?”
— Jennifer, Atlanta

SG: I need a safe word. Besides, we’re not quite there yet.

And winner:

Q: Hey Bill, I saw your man (Celtic’s star) Ray Allen at a bar in Hartford on Saturday night. After getting over the shock of seeing him, my boyfriend turned to me, very serious, and said, “OK, go have sex with Ray Allen and tell me how it is.” Would you make that offer to the (your wife) for any sports figure? If you did would she be offended? Because I wasn’t, and I think maybe I should have been.
— Jen S., Newington, Conn.

SG: Yup, these are my readers.

All of which made me think of another Jennifer for some odd reason.

then of course, the obvious recommendations are the Dead Milkmen, They Might Be Giants, Camper Van Beethoven, and Moxy Fruvous…

If you’re down for 70’s post-prog psych punk revivalism, then you should get the Sgt. Disco album by Circus Devils (it’s the guy from Guided By Voices, so you know it’s good)

Not much for multi-tasking, mike.

Can't wait!!!!!!!!

Loved going to AN days over the past few years.

But, we missed last years (we went camping).

We can bring a cake for AN day 6.

We already have tickets, I just need to know what parking lot and where?

Are you

the real Mike Heath? My sister loved him. Hell, I loved him.

This will actually be my first AN. Figure it’s time.

Whether he's the genuine article or not...

I enjoyed watching Mike Heath play with Oakland and the Yankees, and if I had to pick an 80’s backup catcher to run my ballclub, it would definitely be him or Jim Essian over the clown we’ve got now!

Is Blez coming?

Would be fun to see him and Ericka and Maya!

btw- if there are any old Pacific Coast League fans here at AN, August 22 is also the date for the Pacific Coast League Reunion at the Oakland Museum. If you are a fan of PCL baseball, this is a fantastic event: former ballplayers who are friendly and approachable and love to talk baseball; memorabilia and always an interesting player panel. You could do Oakland baseball all day long. If you want more info, contact me off AN.

I for one am hoping Blez makes it.

And that PCL thingy sounds extremely cool.

So apparently on days when I'm working two jobs, exciting things happen on AN

Reading through this thread scared me mightily, but I’m totally coming to AN Day. (Really, like there was any doubt??) Oh, and I’m bringing cupcakes. Heck yeah.

There's no crying in baseball!

I was totally going to go this year.

But then I found out that I have a wedding to attend that day.

It sucks because the ceremony is in the morning, and the reception is at night. How stupid is that?
