What's the built in menu?

Wanting to know if Hamburger / Hot Dog stuff is provided, so I know what to bring for my kids.

For groanups, I know there are lots of things we can bring, but please, won’t somebody think of the children?

Thanks.

Might bring some h-burgs if I don’t want to mooch off folks.

(we should also coordinate about cake products. I’m contemplating a plain sheet cake, decorating in situ. Ask ages == failure)

All my first cassettes were MJ or Weird Al.

My first CDs, which I got for Christmas along with the CD player was some kind of double CD set of Parliament’s Greatest Hits. BTW, I’m a white kid from the suburbs.

But even then I didn’t listen to a lot of cassette tapes. Most of what I heard was oldies on the radio in my father’s truck.

I think my first cassette was Thriller.

But I had 45s too, before that, and a couple full-length records, mainly Ronco greatest hits from 1979, 1980…I do remember both Cars by Gary Numan and Pop Muzik being on there…

45s…Jukebox Hero, Don’t Bring Me Down, Whip It, Puttin’ on the Ritz…

Cool

I’ve got a bunch of baseballs but they’re all for collecting, not using (All-Star balls, various leagues, etc.).

Bringing glove and ball

On public trasportation as we speak

Eventually, my colleague and I trotted from the two-bit seats to the three-bit seats to get a closer view of the action. - Jlaff on Turn Back the Clock Day

QOTM... very well played

I think the funny thing is that the mobile site doesn’t tell you that but the one where you have a full browser does, which I find strange.

A family schudeling conflict is keeping me from going, I'm upset about it

I’m writing Christy now, I finally have my internet connection back. I have to go somewhere else tomorrow, it’s Family, it’s beyond messed up.

Christy will explain when you see her. Please have the best time ever.

I'm totally indebted to you for my tickets.

Hope everything works out for ya. I’ll hoist one in your name tomorrow.

Extra ticket!

My +1 bailed, so I have an extra ticket to the shindig tomorrow. Anyone want to go? Email me! I also posted a fanshot.

Okay!

Seafood prepped. I’m gonna go take a little nap.

I couldn’t find a good card for Duke. If anyone has the time to look for one, that would be great. Otherwise, I think signing the banner would also be sweet.

See you soon!

They seemed to go over well

Decent flight capabilities too.

I think I managed to snare two.

I’m so full.

Sweet

I’m glad I didn’t have to bring any back home. I ate enough yesterday.
