VEB Day - Decision Time

PrintSo we are about a week and a half away from VEB Day v3.0. Thus it is probably past time that I got this fanpost up so that we can decide where we are going to meet up before the game and what we might want to do after. In the last fanpost we voted on the meeting place and 3 places came up with approximately equal results. Therefore, I am going to repost the poll with those 3 options to see if we can get a consensus. With the game starting at 6:15 I figured that we would probably want to make the meeting time around 4-4:30. The poll will be open for voting till Monday 6/14 at 11p.
As for postgame activities, we can either organize it now in this fanpost or we can discuss it when we get together at the game.
See you soon!

Only 33 bucks or so. Not a bad deal so don’t worry about me.

I will check
I thought I responded to all who paid but I’ll doublecheck.

I just want to make sure the Young Uns(Under 21)
Can go to at least the pre-bar. I know some people talked about going back Schaflay’s after the game.
although it would be nice to go somewhere closer to the ballpark after the game...

Have fun wherever you choose though!

So is JBucks the final decision?
Are we meeting there after 4 on Saturday?
Think; It's not illegal yet.
Ok.
Looks like JBucks wins and that is good since I’m sure all ages are welcome there. I will see if we can get some space set aside for us. Let’s plan on meeting anytime after 4p. I should be there by 4p. I’ll be wearing my “Respect the Stache” t-shirt so that I will be easily identified.

If I make it to the game, I'll be at the pre-game
Was just down for the Mariners series and my roommate’s recovering from surgery; might send some proxies and skip out on VeBDatBP3.
Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.
Hitting the road now
Not sure when I’ll make it to J. Buck’s, but doubtful before 5.
See you folks in a few hours.

That's the plan
And I definitely agree – no walking

So there is this shuttle
the “Green Bus” that I think I talked about in the first VEB Day thread. Anyway, this shuttle picks up at 7th & Market and for like $1-2 each, you get 1- beer and 2- a ride to the Washington Avenue loft district, which is a pretty easy walk to the Tap Room…probably 5-6 blocks, tops.
Just FYI…not sure how long I’ll be out after the game, but thought I’d pass along the transportation info in case anyone’s interested. Of course, cabs are also an option, but not a very good one here.
See you folks in a few hours!
Thanks to everyone
I had a great time. Cards record on VEB Day is now 3-0.

The only thing I wanna know is
who was the assclown who insisted on doing The Wave like 47 times?!?!?!
Good seeing/meeting everyone. And thanks again to indakind for organizing. And to think that we didn’t even need his mustache for a W this year!
You're welcome
Although I insist that I didn’t do much. Mustache or no VEB Day is powerful karma apparently.

You did plenty...starting with fronting a shit-ton of cash.
And also, I want to reiterate what spants said in the post for VEB Day: There really isn’t any excuse why the Saint Louis contingent of VEB can’t get together more than once a year.
I mean, just because you met someone on the internet doesn’t mean you can’t take it "to the next level, right? Or does that make it creepy (and by “creepy,” I mean “creepier than 20- and 30-somethings introducing themselves by some sort of internet code names”)?
Hopefully we can put something together for the local folks sometime sooner rather than later.
haha!
where was the ’stache?!

the wave!
i was the assclown screaming for everyone to stop doing it. the wave really gets to me, i guess.
good to meet you all, by the way. i still need to head back to tap room to pick up my debit card. in my drunken stupor, i left without closing my tab.
The section wide BOOOO
was a favorite moment of mine
check out VEB on facebook...just search groups for Viva El Birdos
I enjoyed the section chanting
RFL!!!! RFL!!!! RFL!!!

so now the last two games I've seen include Holliday home runs
and both VEB Days I’ve attended. Good to hang out with y’all, had a great time. That game was insanely fast though, I think we thought it was like the 6th inning and it was already the 8th.
oh, and Jason Motte! what a great feeling having everyone standing at the end of the game cheering him on with his 98-100mph fastball, mowing ’em down.
