VEB DAY v3.0

Per this fanpost, the date of the annual VEB get together has been decided on and the winner is the Saturday 6/19 game against the Oakland A's @ 6:15p. I think that the best deal on seats is the bleachers which are about $30/ticket. If we can get a group of 25 then the tickets should be $25 per and we get to sit together and geek out. I have the ability to pay for the group tickets however I need firm commitments from a good portion of the potential attendees before I am going to plunk down the cash. Please email me if you think you are going to attend so that I can put together a list. I probably need to know by the end of this month so that I can buy the tickets before all the good areas are sold out. Please give me your name and contact info in the email. My email address is nchlebowski at hotmail dot com.

 

BTW - You can tweet at me @Indakind

if you do Paypal

Which would be the easiest way but they also charge you 30 cents per transactions plus like 3% or so. So take that into account also

This is why So. Colo is so nice

it’s relatively dry, warm (hot) in the summer but not muggy like the Lou, near the mountains (unless you’re IN the mountains), and the winters are pretty mild. Of course, Pueblo (where I live) is kind of a dead town, and Co. Springs is a tad bit too reactionary for my taste, but the cost of living is low, the air is clean, the people are nice.

I know there is a shuttle

that the guy who runs the “Green Sheet” operates. It picks up around Washington (I think it mainly starts from that Flannery’s Irish Pub place) and it’s all operated on donation. Throw in a dollar or two and you can get a ride, a beer, and dropped off right at the ballpark.

After the game he runs you back to Washington Ave, which is a much more doable walk to Tap Room (and/or any of the stuff on Washington). Plus you don’t have to dick with parking at the ballpark, etc.

My buddy lives in one of the lofts down there, so I’ve taken it a couple of times with him. I can try to find out more about it if people are interested.

I will be contacting the group sales office tomorrow

We are just short of 25 tickets but it is close enough for me. I am going to shoot for the bleachers if everyone is ok with that. If I cannot get a grouping in the bleachers I will probably get upper deck tix to keep the price reasonable. If anyone disagrees with this strategy please let me know tonight via comments here, twitter or my email.

Pregame meetup

Possibilities:

Al Hrabosky’s
   - Good: Cheap eats, close to park, lots o room, plenty of parking.
   - Bad: Giving money to crappy anouncer, loud.

JBuck’s:
   - Good: Not too crowded, good food, close to ballpark
   - Bad: Pricey, Met there last year.

If anyone has other ideas let me know…

I hate the noise at Hraboskys

makes it hard to actually talk to people

Think; It's not illegal yet.

No worries

I’ll get back to you shortly. I don’t have much time for online stuff on the weekends. I haven’t heard back from the group sales office yet either so I can add you to the count.
