OMG, is it time for baseball yet?!?!?!?!

PrintIt all started with a simple link in a DLD. And now the organizing will commence. But first, we need to figure out the plan...
The parking lot will open at 9am that morning, which means we could do an early tailgate (mimosas!) should you all want to. Alternatively, we could show up a little later and do a not-so-early tailgate...
I know this is the day of the Fan Appreciation Tailgate (which is free, so we could go back and forth between our tailgate and theirs....maybe we can drag invite some of the players over to ours too...) the A's are throwing (it takes place from 10-12:30), and some of you may have tickets already, so choose the appropriate answer in the poll below:
Depending on how many people need tickets, we could either go the goldstar route or the group tickets route...

doh! that's totally what I meant
I guess I shouldn’t type while trying to watch TV….in my head, I totally included the tailgate details….let me edit it….
There's no crying in baseball!
Well since I'm a NRAF
I guess I should say we rule! but….since I’m jealous of you local fans I guess I’d have to say you folks rule.
I rule as well.

Okay... so the party starts at his place
where 20 of us explain to his parents that a baseball game isn’t a rave… then tailgate at the coli. What time should we be over at your place and where is it?

Get a job.
When I was in high school, my parents were pretty strict too. They almost never let me go out. Finally, I got a job at a local pizza place and once my parents got used to me not being around so much, they were much more lenient about letting me go out.
Now, I was a very good kid and did well academically so I had earned their trust and that certainly helped. But sometimes parents just aren’t ready to let go. Having a legitimate reason for being out is a good way to ease them into seeing you less.
Plus, working at that pizza place was awesome. There were a lot of young people who worked there, and we could take home whatever food we wanted (seriously, like an extra large pizza, a whole basket of buffalo wings, anything). My friends would stop by and I’d give them free food and beer. One time I made Gilbert Arenas a sandwich. Sadly, that’s probably the best job I will ever have.

Good Suggestion
Get a job.
I stopped reading at that part, though, but Gilbert Arenas’ name caught my attention in one of your last lines.

I still have bellini stuff......but with OJ a mimosa can happen, too.
I have tickets for this game – so I’m down for hanging out before the game. I think we should send spies over to the fan thing to see if it’s worth attending!!! But then again – I might just wish to stay at our tailgate – it seems were going in that direction??
I might know a guy with a grill.

No Opening Day for me = Reason it sucks to be in Washington, D.C. w/o the Green and Gold.
I’ll be proudly wearing my brand new Brett Anderson jersey to the office, over my suit .
Anyways i said F*&K it and booked a 2 week trip to Cali; thanks Virgin for having a sweet sale = $119 non stop. I’ll get my fix in June w/ several games.
It's just more exciting with Billy Beane running the team.
Just say the word baby.

done
so…AN tailgate for the weekend before Opening night…plus AN tailgate for Opening night?
Or is this one or the other?
This instead, I think.
I won’t be able to do Opening Night, but if people want to do that also, or instead of this, speak up.

I hadn't planned to attend the preseason games
since I have tickets for the first two games that count, and, well, I’m pretty busy.
But an AN tailgate with Lynn’s cooking (and of course the BAG and all the other goodies) is hard to pass up.
I'm going to do my best to be there for this
It all depends on how my schedule goes with my new job.

ZF’s Latest Dating/Relationship Drama
(not doing a FanPost for this)
So random guy (who wanted to hook with me last summer, who never even came close) just sent me an email. It said “Remember Me?” with a picture of his unit attached. WTF WTF WTF! So when I didn’t respond and he follows up with “So you don’t remember?” I said, “That’s the first time I’ve seen it!” He said maybe he dreamed it. WTF Who just sends an acquaintance a pic like that!?!? Man, I meet some ballsy guys!
Bailey is ROY!
he sent you a picture of his junk?!
Junk which you’ve never seen?

I actually work with someone who married a guy who pulled a similar stunt
But um, I’d have to recommend never seeing this guy again. Believe it or not, I used to know someone who had much worst dating stories than you. Pretty scary weird shit with friends professing their love for her out of no where.

So here's the plan.
We don’t have enough for a group discount (you need 25). Gigs and I might could get tickets through Goldstar for the peeps with firm commitment at this point on Monday, if available (Sec. 106, Field Level). Another option is to go for the $12 tickets in 317 or the $5 tickets in 230. Anybody wanting to get in on any kind of group deal after that point are on their own.
We are doing the tailgate regardless, and I will post about that after I know who can make it.
Love ya!

You need an LB to AN translation
“How dare you guys make fun plans in my sight knowing full well I’m stuck in a sign shop in Florida and can’t come. How dare you guys go to the trouble of getting seats for everyone else willing to go but not getting me a single seat on an airplane to fly out there to join you. How dare you talk about delicious food knowing full well I can’t taste any of it.”

See, that's the problem
As great as all the things you’ve done here have been, when you’re stuck in a sign shop in Florida that keeps pulling you back in (a.k.a. Hell), the simple things just don’t cut it anymore. You need grand sweeping gestures. So make sure you wildly wave your hands in the air as you talk next time. At the very least it might distract him from what you’re saying.
