We will at least be bringing some tortillas, Jalapenos, and Carne Asada...
There is no A in OFFENSE!!
Hmm
Too bad you don’t know anyone on AN with a grill.

Yon, do we have any unfinished giveaway business? I can't remember.

I don't have paypal
Can someone get me a ticket cuz I don’t think I can survive missing Athletica’s tacos.
Also, should I invite Chris T? I think he’d want to get in on this too.
Silence s'il vous plait!! Vous ne voyez pas que je suis en train de se masturber?!?
I think he was already invited.
Which makes me more pissed that I can’t go.
Pam liked my old sig better.
As long as he brings Conor Jackson with him.

I may be able to make an appearance, but apparently I'm committed elsewhere for the day.

Sounds like a lot of fun to be had
Sadly, I’ll be down in Monterey on Saturday.
I can't see, now I have to pee, and I can't count to three, but I can count to JÄGERMEISTER!
Sadly
I won’t be able to make this one either. Apparently cars are expensive to have repaired so my money is tied up in other things. Hope it’s fun for everyone else though!

That song expresses my feelings for just about every car I've ever owned
None my than my old ’93 Taurus, however.

Well the only car I've ever truly owned is this one
a ’95 BMW.
But it’s probably true that it’s a P.O.S.

My buddy' David's gonna come as well and he makes a mean guacamole so
that’s covered as well. It’s cool if he comes right?…and brings guacamole?

I wasn't aware of any trivia password. Seriously, can he come?
I’m from out of town and we can’t tailgate in downtown Minneapolis.
The worst person to run from is yourself.
I am not the organizer - but I don't think it's a problem especially if he brings the guac!!!
"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis
Oh, he's bringing the guac.
But seriously, if it’s normally a closed kind of thing let me know b/c I’m flying out for A’s games and some friends of mine that live in the area are gonna meet up for some of them. I don’t want to bring people that aren’t invited if invites are necessary.

Ha
Yeah I’m sure he’s allowed even though I’ve never been to one of these.

I'm now very tentative
I’ll try to come, but it depends on the other out-of-control bits of my life behaving themselves.

You can't have a flare-up if it never subsided.

Seriously!
My ass is… Ooooh, the other kind of crack, never mind…
Choosy Feebas choose Leopold Bloom nipples
Daring. Sensual. Invigorating. Squirrel.
BLOOM. For men.
If the eggs actually hatch I made more than a mistake, I made some scientifically impossible crime.
Yeah
Not a guac fan.

Okay, I'll step out of my comfort zone and into my kitchen and bring shredded chicken. I
will need to consult with Lynnzgal of course for instructions What time are we going to be there?

Okay, is 3 p.m. good?
And can someone please describe where we usually meet up for the newcomers? Thanks!
Ms. Jesa
Okay:
1) The spot is in the North (66th Avenue Entrance) Parking Lot, as close to the Coliseum as possible (Without being in the handicap section). That means go into the Lot from 66th Ave and head left. Turn Right at your first opportunity and don’t stop until you find pixies and elves.
2) I am playing a benefit for MLS in San Jose and will be passing by the Coliseum at 10 PM, so I may stop in IF you guys are doing the post game party.
3) Go A’s!!!!

Hi Saint!!! :)
1) Is this where the AN tailgates usually are? I thought we were more to the left. I know there were certain row numbers but of course I can’t remember what they are. Maybe it is in an old tailgate post; I’ll have to go search. (Unless someone knows for sure?!?!?)
2) I don’t think G and I are up for a post-game party but maybe others here are????
3) Yes! Go A’s!!!!
xoxoxo
Ms. Jesa
Usually AN stuff is closer to the BART ramp end of things.

Thanks LS!
I finally figured it out after going through a million old posts, woo hoo! Here is where we will be: We’ll be in our usual spot, the North Lot A, Row 12, on the San Leandro St. side.
Ms. Jesa
Soooo,which is the best part of the chicken to shred? I'm planning on surprising
my brother with this task., He loves the kitchen. I’m not kidding, I really need to know this answer.

I've done the whole chicken. I've also done leg quarters (legs and thighs).
Depends on if you want white meat (breast) or dark (legs, thighs) or both (whole chicken). I’m excited you are trying something new and am looking forward to meeting you in person!!! :)
Ms. Jesa
I'll do my best to make it
and will bring something on the list (or off the list that people might like)
I iced it last night, and am trying to limit my walking this morning.
But since I have tickets to tomorrow’s game — and I’m going even if I have to crawl - I’m not sure today would be a good idea ;(
I have some queso fresco, cilantro and scallions I'll bring
And maybe some tomatoes from the garden as well.
Ms. Jesa
We are also going to bring Onion/Cilantro mix and Home Made Corn Tortillas!
Im going to also pick up a bit of Al pastor as well as Carne Asada….
There is no A in OFFENSE!!
Awesome!
Homemade tortillas?!? You all rock!
I have been making a White Girl Carnitas since last night. I think it’s gonna be totally yum. Can’t wait to see you guys!!!
Ms. Jesa
Got a super HOT (jalapeno hot) pico and a mango salsa....do we have anybody bringing chips?
"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis
OK....I'll swing by the store on the way out. Anything else? And what time will you be there?
Can’t wait!
"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis
I think we're good!
G and I are planning to get there at 3 or a few minutes before. This is gonna be a blast!!!!! :)
Ms. Jesa
of course it is!!! See you. I'm shooting for 3:15 or 3:30
"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis
It was nice. Thanks for doing it. I got your shirt (M)and I will be at the 9/7/ game. We'll
talk before then.
