A's Finale Tailgate & Ticket Update


Hey, Y'all!

One last reminder that ticket orders for the final A's game on 10/4 are due tomorrow.  We are short by 2 for the minimum of 25 tickets to qualify for the group discount.  If we don't manage to qualify, I'll be in touch with everyone who did order to go over the options. 

Update:  We now have the minimum for the group discount.  We still have a block of 50 though, so anyone else that wants to get in on this action, please, join us!

In the meantime...

It's time we started thinking about the pre-game tailgate!

I hope this will be the tailgate to end all tailgates!  Its an early one, but I think we're up to the challenge.  We'll assemble at the same Bat Place.

That is the East side of the North Lot A, Rows 12 - 14.  I'll be in touch with anyone who needs my cell to make sure you can find us.  I'll be there at 9:30 to set up with anyone else who can haul their asses out of bed that early.

I like a breakfast tailgate, don't you?  We can let our food freak flag fly early (say that ten times fast!) and then work it off inside the stadium and possibly eat again after.  Its an added bonus.

You know the breakdown.  We need:

Grills

Breakfasty things

Tables

Chips and dips

Sides

Beverages

Sweets

Let's get creative peeps!  Check out the sites of your favorite chefs and get crazy!

I'll have all the basics like paper goods and condiments, so, don't worry about that stuff, my lovelies.  Yes, and free kraut, too!

For those who haven't yet decided to join your AN brethren...we're fun, we're feisty, and we're loyal to the end!

 

Let's Go Oakland!

I wasn't planning on bringing breakfasty things....

but maybe I will bring some Muffins instead of cookies. I had wanted to bring some hotdogs and buns to grill but that isn’t very breakfasty. Will think about it.

Breakfasty:

Mrs V makes a super yummy egg casserole thing that she said she would make ahead of time and then we can just warm it up on the grill when we get there.

I got some sausages from Costco that sort of reminded me of breakfast sausages in a way. Probably similar spices.

We got them in early July. I could try to find them again, but you know how Costco is with things. Unless we already have too many sausages.

We’ll probably bring something dessert-like – I’ll check with the baking expert in the house.

Oh Poop

I have to work. Decided to go to Hawaii next week, so that screws up this game and the beach cleanup. :( I will miss all my AN friends.
