PrintBasically, how cute are we?
AN Day VI went off with out a hitch, thanks to everyone who showed up to have a fabulous time! And did I mention that this blog can cook? Way better than stadium food!
I thought I'd put up some pictures for you all to look at while you're waiting for the rubber game of the series to start, and there are some people I'd like to publicly thank.
First mention goes to Leopold Bloom, for this work of art. Just amazing:
And to the car who delivered it and displayed it ;-)
To the salad makers...
To the user who brought and manned the "big ass" grill (TM):
To the AN user (his son?) who made the unbelievable cake pictured below:
Everything was green and gold, right down to the fortune cookies. Mine said that I should come to the season-ending tailgate.
Oh....the cupcakes. Gigglingone outdid herseif for sure.
And here's a rare shot; five of the front page writers captured all in one place, and look at the guy on the right? It's...could it be...it's BLEZ!
Awwww....we still are SO cute!
Thank you EVERYONE! A special thanks to Lynn, who organized the tailgate, and made the most delicious food you could imagine.
Today's game is at 12:35, Trevor Cahill will take the mound against Brian Bannister.

This always looks like fun
I think I am cursed that in 6 years I always have something that I can’t get out of on AN Day. I am glad you all had a good time :)
And security let that bunch of riff raff in?
Disappointed.

Uh-oh
Don’t let RRS see that last one!
Second to last one? I HAD to.

Probably got a very large original file
It still looked very crisp up close.

there's more than that to it
it’s not exactly the same. the drop shad in the orig goes from alaska to the yukatan while in the new it goes from wisconsin to cabo. did he do a little bit of live trace to get the layers and then recreated the glows and shadows? yeah, i say he spent more time on this than meets the eye and he deserves more applause yet.

The one thing I've learned from the sign business
is there’s always a better file somewhere.
And I’m not that skilled. I’m pretty certain O2B can run circles around me, and the designer guy that cityplanner replaced me with.

mini AN day today?
i have four $2 paper tickets for today’s game that i can’t use—sec 227. if you’d like to use them, email me (in profile). free for you—i hate even cheap tickets going to waste. i’m right next to the 980 in W. oak.
don't care if i ever get back.
You should go with that fortune cookie!

"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Just a little lower!

Isn't there a bylaw against TWSSing yourself?

great photos...even better food and company!
I have a very messy work day …mostly responding to one crisis after another…so I probably won’t be visiting the game thread (and may not get to listen to the game)…hey, the job pays the bills.
Let’s Go Oakland!
Me too
Here is the last problem I had to deal with.
We ordered 300 3M dust masks and our vendor, (genius that they are) sent us 2560. Now I have to arrange for 2240 to be sent back, (we are keeping 320 as 160 come per case). No sooner have I got that one sorted than one of the warehouse drivers unloaded and signed for a pallet before he noticed there was major damage one side, (the whole side is caved in and half the contents are unusable). This has been just some highlights from today, (feels like a Monday). With all this I will try to pop in to the game thread from time to time.

Sooo much fun!
Unlike being at last night’s game, which was more like having your toenails removed.
"Tonto think Billy Beane need to make team full of squirrels and bears."
Nice I got blocked out of one pic by a Unicorn stand in
(second to last pic)
It was a fun time and I look forward to the last home game so we can do it all again.
