God do I feel disenfranchised. I was on jetblue watching the score on my way back from NY. Seeing the photos just reinforces how much I miss my AN peeps when I miss events. So glad we won and that Bloom didn’t have computer/car troubles

thanks for the fireworks video
The actual show was pretty awesome. When that thing that looked like a swarm of gnats came up (I think it’s 0:12 on the video), my son said “just like Joba Chamberlain.”
Your son pays attention
to the post-season. Those Cleveland flies made Joba look even more like a beast.
Not in a good way.

Thank you so much, everyone.
It was, for me, one of the best baseball experiences of my life! All of you contributed to its awesomeness, each in your own ways. Special thanks to Jo for taking care of the group tickets. Getting to see that game with all of you was the icing and the cherry.
Great pictures, doc! SO. MUCH. FUN!
Okay, back to bed…

I’ve lived a life of solitary A’s fandom up until AN and my involvement. The website made it better and being in person with you folks has made it even better. I feel so less alone now, like I’ve found my fucking family or some sappy shit.

hmm...
before this whole shindig, I was working hard to convince Bloomie to go, and he was a teensy bit apprehensive… but as soon as we got there, he lit up ’bout like an old Christmas tree, and I went off to meditate under the freeway sign to try to get enough courage to come back and talk to people.
I’m really glad that so much fun was had and a lot of old internet friends got a chance to add or add to the personal facets of those friendships. On nights like those, I wish I was wired a little differently so I could have more fun. I did have some fun, but there were a lot of times I felt like going off and hiding, and a couple times I did.
All of the nervousness and fear that I had to repress in order to get along and be social and be nice to everybody (not to mention be in a public environment for 7+ hours) has totally boomeranged back on me over the last 18 hours or so, and I feel very lost, lonely, and sad. Right now, I feel like stocking up on frozen food and Flintstone’s Chewable Morphine, blacking out the windows, and never leaving my house again…

I asked him about the next time we were going to do it and
he seemed a little puzzled as to why it hasn’t happened again yet. He wasn’t sure how it happened before, only that the team had set it up and arranged everything (it was between the A’s and the Holiday Inn). He was trying to put it together between the station and the Holiday Inn, but it was unclear how to make it happen—he couldn’t insist that the team put it together, but was uncertain how to make it work so the station could just take the lead and make it happen.
