Forum Party VIII

[ChocolateGirl]

Ally
I was wondering, could you look into tier reserve instead of the bleachers? And a 4PM game like we did one year is a lot bearable than a 1PM game. The heat is crazy at that time.

I'd probably prefer June 30, but I'm just hoping that whatever date the forum party is I don't get sick like I did last year and I can actually go!

Oh yeah, I remembered that you were sick. Better luck this year huh.

[NewAmsterdamYankee]

I'll probably be in NYC in the last week from August, but the odds are against for a Forum Party then I guess.

[PalmerGA]

Now I know why Palmer wants to bring a gun to the party!

You can't be too careful...

[Jersey Yankee]

Hell, George will drink any beer, even that PA beer Stagmeyers which tastes like warm pis@ Just make sure that there is a lot of it and it is cold.

Andy

In that case, a caseload or two of ice-cold beer it is!!!

Now then, what will everyone else drink?

You can't be too careful...

At least we'll know that a proud American will be protecting us!!!

[Dave Visbeck]

Yes, it's like the Super Bowl, it gets Roman Numerals!

I'd like to try to order the tickets for this year's party sooner rather than later, because I know it's not going to be easy. Please let me know if you think you'd be able to come to the party and whether you'd rather go in June, July, or August. Frankly, I'd prefer June - either 6/9 against Pittsburgh or 6/30 against Oakland (bear in mind that's the weekend before 4th of July). But...I know from experience that it is usually cooler and more pleasant weather in June than July or August. I just want to get an idea of approximately how many tickets to get - I was thinking 50, but I don't want to over-order.

For those of you who haven't been to a Forum Party, here's the basics. We get a group block of seats and have a pre-game tailgate buffet in the parking lot featuring cold heroes, salads, and desserts. You can also partake in the buffet without buying a ticket in the block of seats if you already have a game ticket (or if you want to just go for the party and not the game, which I know at least one person has done in the past). You pay me the cost of the ticket, a nominal food charge, and shipping for the tickets (which are sent via certified mail).

Further details will be forthcoming as I get them worked out, but I wanted to start the ball rolling early this year.

Keep smiling and party on...

August


my choice doesn't matter though, because probably won't make it for another year

[Octoberbaby]

Just found out June is out for me. I will be on Nantucket for the June 30 date and will be in New York from July 8 until around the first or second week in August. After that I will be back in L.A. If you have it when I'm there I would love to come but don't expect special consideration.

[montrealer]

Wife has agreed to acompany me if the date chosen is agreeable...............now where`s NYC?

[RhodyYanksFan]

If I remembered correctly, you were sitting right behind me at the baseball game during last year's forum party. Hopefully you and others that I met could make it again. Congrats about the wedding. Boy a lot surely happened in one year huh.

Ally, so far any month is good with me. Keep smiling.

Yeah we were all around one-another. It was a great time. I'll be more talkative this year. I hope I get to go this year since it looks like it'll be the only game I'll get to see this season.

Thanks alot. Times change fast.

On the Noo Yawk side of Niagara Falls, you beyotch!!!

[apolansk]

The only weekend game I have in June is the Sunday Mets game...if its that day, I can almost definitely make it.

[WashingtonYankee]

I say late August....... I'm flying out to NY probably in March to see family and some friends. But right now, I'm trying to end up going to school on the east coast next late August. So I'm down for August.

[CharmedForever61]

Honestly I picked July for the forum party but I've seen that most of you want it in June. Well thats fine at least the party is always on a weekend. Also the weather is not as hot and humid in June and I can deal with that.

[Barb51850]

If I make it this year, and Palmer is there, would someone please hold him down so I can pin a "Hillary '08" button on his shirt? Thanks.

...and I'll be ready with the Obama button!

I remember sitting next to you at the first forum party. We had T-shirts that year, and yours had the incorrect spelling.

[penguin4]

I chose June, simply because of the heat factor. But you know me; I usually find a way to show up last-minute regardless of when it is, so whenever you get tickets is fine with me. (Though I might be out of town the last week in July -- not that this should be a consideration.)

P.S. June 30 = day after my birthday...

[Danmel]

June 9th is the day of Danny's Bar Mitzvah- we definitely cant be there then (neither can WEXY)

So that's no good.

Late June will be hard because the kids have examns, Regents etc.

I'd vote for July or August but not the third weekend in July which is camp visiting weekend.

So if we all want to be there ( and we do) I'd have to go with August.

Deb

[Octoberbaby]

The end of July seems like the best time.

[YankeePride1967]

If it's June 30 or July 7, I MIGHT be able to make it to this one. (I'm coming up from Florida around that time.

Please note that those Florida and Cali residents who constantly mention the 60-70 degree weather have been officially univited!!!

[CharmedForever61]

June 9th sounds good. But I hope nothing comes up on my schedule that day. Even though I'm NOT so keen about sitting in the bleachers I might try to purchase tickets for them anyway just to spend time with you all.

[YankeePride1967]

oh well, guess I won't be able to make it then

[In Mo I Trust]

I should be able to make that.

[#1PaFan]

I hope everybody has a great time & takes a lot of pictures!

[Trish]

Why can't you come, Jerky?

[Archer1979]

Why can't you come, Jerky?

His med plan doesn't cover Cialis.

[#1PaFan]

Why can't you come, Jerky?

It's just a really bad time, Boobmeat.

[Octoberbaby]

I won't be able to make it on the date chosen. I won't be in New York then. Too bad, maybe next year unless some others want to make another date to meet there.

Are you planning on being in NY this season?

[Octoberbaby]

I will be in New York from July 11 to August 14.

[yankeebot]

I will be in New York from July 11 to August 14.

Cool. I would love to meet up with you at the Stadium if the opportunity arises.

[Octoberbaby]

That would be great. Maybe some others would be interested too.

[DontHateOnNumber2]

In that case, a caseload or two of ice-cold beer it is!!!

Now then, what will everyone else drink?

If I am able to go earlier (I found out that I may because my summer class may already be finished) then I could bring this new drink that starting to regain popularity. It's called water and does a body good.

[chanman7483]

Brad, I always bring a case of beer and it ends up being a waste b/c no one drinks it but me.

This year, I'll probably come with a or 2 24 oz for myself, and that's it

Then why the hell didn't you tell me about it? Sheesh, I haven't had a 40 oz in ages. Bring one of those and I'll see what I can do.

Now then, if George comes, you'll need to bring a whole freakin' case o' that 40 oz stuff and he'll still drink us under the table and have us laughing like silly boyz also!!!

O-mama!

Haha, ok let's skip the formalities, throw the 24's away and I'll just bring the colt 45s!

Yeah, I came down with a case of Coronas last year, fresh from the bodega.... I had them in the cooler w/ the sodas.

They have bodega's in the Bronx??

[Buckeye Yank]

Guys keep in mind, the hotter it is, the less the ladies will be wearing.

Too bad they picked June then!

[Panamaniac42]

Hell yes.

[Buckeye Yank]

Too bad they picked June then!

Yep. I was all set to join them.

[chanman7483]

Hell yes.

I only accept the 40 oz bottle...

Anything less would be uncivilized.

[ChocolateGirl]

I remember sitting next to you at the first forum party. We had T-shirts that year, and yours had the incorrect spelling.

Yeah I remember the incorrect spelling. The following year, Deb gave me a shirt with the correct spelling. I still have both T-shirts. People laugh at me when I wear it (mostly because they are thinking it refers to something sexual).

So are you coming this year? At last years Forum Party, we sat in the bleachers. It was absolutely brutal. I don't think I could sit through another one of those because as a ChocolateGirl, I don't need to become any darker than I already am. A 4PM game would have been a lot better though. Oh well.

Yes, I'll be there. We're sitting in the bleachers again this year, but at least it's in early June. Hopefully it won't be too hot.
