May 17th, VEB Day at Busch

by Alxfritz on Apr 7, 2008 12:07 AM EDT

~~Dear Diary~~

Hey Fanpost!

As our prearranged VEB Meet n' Greet day of May 17th approaches, I figure i should probably get around to actually, you know, planning the event.

So, first things being first, I'm going to need a head count. A few questions:

How many of you actually (as in greater than an 80% chance) plan on going? Please post below by the end of the week so I can get something reserved next weekend.

Also, how many are under 21?

And does anyone have any special needs (wheelchair access, etc) that I should be aware of?

Right now the plan is to reserve a back room at a nearby watering hole for an hour or two before the game and then afterwards until question mark. Hopefully if we have enough people going, we won't have to pay a cover charge, and I'm fairly certain the place I'm considering numero uno will allow minors, providing they have a voucher, much like Navin Johnson working at a St Louis gas station.

(And please, feel free to respond off-line via e-mail if you'd be more comfortable: alxfritz@gmail.com)

And thus concludes my first "fanpost." This seems awkward.

I'd love to go

but I've already spent $1000 on Cards tix in the past two weeks. Hmm... Put me down as an iffy? 70% chance of going? I think I'd have to know more about pricing, seating, and such before diving in.

Rasmus or bust.

$1000 on Cards tickets in two weeks?

That's basically everything I've got in the bank.

I hope you got season tickets

or your seats are in the dugout.

Ok Skippy... you're starting. Now START HITTING!

Cheap route for tix

If I had my druthers, I'd just get SRO tix and grab a table at the casino queen party porch bar.

Well who the hell can see forever?

Count me in

The Evil Twin (aka my twin brother) & I will be attending our first game at the new stadium. Still need to get a hotel reservation downtown (any recommendations?); used to stay with friends, but they moved a couple years ago to SF, so no cheap boarding option.

Escape from "Occupied Chicago" Friday morning or early afternoon, stay two nights, do the Meet-&-Greet, enjoy the game, head back Sunday morning - money well spent!

That said, the Cubs do deserve my pity, but never my support.

I'll be there

If you need help with anything let me know.

bummer!

I won't be able to make it on that date, too many things for me to do that weekend to plan a weekend out of town. I'm definitely interested in any future plans like this however!

I'd say...

There's about a 90% chance I'd be able to make it. I am also older than 21 so count me in for all the festivities.

Welcome back Tony, adios Kip.

Ah crap

All the graduation talk reminded me that its my girlfriend's graduation. 0% chance for me.

Welcome back Tony, adios Kip.
