VEB Day 2011: The Planning-ing

PrintHi, I'm SBNation author Alex Fritz. You may remember me from previous Viva El Birdo days such as "VEB Day 2008: Die, Die Devil Rays!", "VEB Day 2009: Swallow Your Padres!" and "VEB Day 2010: You Only Motte Once!".
Today begins the first of many stages for VEB Day 2011. The planning. I've eliminated weekends during school season alread and narrowed it down to six weekends. If we plan on getting tickets all together again, the Cubs weekends should probably not be voted for.
So today, just a short poll to gauge which weekend will work best for VEB Day 4 (this time, it's personal). Poll closes March 18th!

I voted!
It was a tough call between “VEB 2011: Royal Missourumble” and “Battle of the Birds”. Went with the Royals, but if we landed a Carp start against the Blue Jays, we could see something memorable.
Guys like Bradley are exactly why we can't have a pumpkin patch anymore.
ha, I actually voted for the winning topic for once!
I’m amazed! may it be a royal weekend

Yep. Leading by one vote. Yours. :)
If you don't want my foot on your throat, I'll need to hear the safe word.
not anymore :(
although, Blue Jays were my second choice. US vs Canada

not a problem.
There is a new micro-brewery (one of the top guys from goose island is the brewmaster) opening hopefully in June about 1/2 mile south of the stadium. If that is open, we may want to check it out.

My great wit allows me to interject that by assuming the partakers of this conversation are inbedded and perhaps romantically entangled, rather than indeed, the truthful observation that they are both platonic and standing upright. Great comedy may be produced!! -Aranathor
As much as I would like the Royals
That day is my mom’s and more importantly, my brother’s birthday. Meaning, drinking far far away from STL sadly. I do know that I was planning on coming down for the TOR series, and VEB day would just seal it.

what i find odd about this
is June 18th is the same weekend as VEB Day 2010. So… Did you bail on your family last summer?

i did not!
they bailed on me. aka went up north. i had no choice from madison but to hang out with a bunch of internet friends.

I probably won't be here.
But the only weekend I may possibly be here is July 9th. But that is even iffy.
Have fun!

(I would vote for July 9th. Battle EelCat.)
My sources are bigger than your sources.
Twitter
July 9th was my dads bday, so in a way that would be the perfect day for me to go
but i voted August 13th because it’s the latest date & with my job situation still in flux, i can’t commit to going just yet. i really want to go this year & right this second the later in the season it is, the more likely i’ll be able to attend. i only speak for myself so whatever you all decide to do i’ll try my best to make it. but right now, i’m hoping August 13th wins. i know it will be hot as hell, but for right now i hope it does
Balls
I'll be there in spirit
by which i mean i will be drunk and ranting about the cruelties of geography
Oh god, i've become... myself.
I am the anti-fang
the argument for the toronto series is obvious

Was already considering a trip up for a couple of games vs. the Jays.
This might just seal the deal.
Blue Jays works, I think

I would vote for the Rockies
Just because there’s a chance of a Ubaldo/Carp matchup that would be spectacular, and that tickets for those games would probably be the cheapest of all the games here (generally interleague games and Cubs games have a premium on them).
Also, August is all that works for me this year — TMFW (Too Many Fucking Weddings).
Can Colby round out our new MV3?
I voted for the Rockies. Just so spants has a chance to join in this year.
She’ll be screwed again if it’s the Blue Jays game.

It's my "official" due date.
The OB thinks Peanut is probably about a week older, but they don’t really like to change due dates. No matter. She’ll get here when she gets here!

Yeah, they kinda have their own thoughts on the situation.
And they really, really don’t care about what you have planned. Tell them your plans and watch the little kid laugh at you.

We had three people tell us that the due date was wrong, and that the actual date is _______.
Oddly enough, she was born exactly on the original due date.
If it's a meme, or looks like it might be a meme, I do not get it.
Due dates are kind of a shot in the dark anyway.
Something like a 2 – 3 week window.
Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid.

Well, she's running kind of big for her age.
The upper limits of normal. Plus, I actually kept a fertility chart because our problems kind of required that I did. There’s strong reason to suspect we conceived a week earlier than we think.

…..because……
