SSS Meetup: PST Edition

by thatshortkid on Mar 4, 2009 6:06 PM CST Comment 32 comments

Inspired by hsa's and U-God's attempts at herding cats (and Angels single-game tickets going on sale Saturday), I thought I'd send out a feeler to see what the interest is in a Left Coast meetup. Barring any of y'all getting on a plane and going West, I guess this one mostly goes out to the known PSTers or those that lurk. Hell, we'll even count the Mountain folks too.

Scanning the schedules, I see:

May 25-26-27 (M-Tu-W) @ LAA: This series starts on Memorial Day. I'll be at all 3, but given that it's a weekday series, I would only expect locals to show up to this one, if at all. All night games.
Aug 10-11-12 (M-Tu-W) @ SEA: Another weekday series. But hey, it's in hsa's backyard. All night games.
Aug 14-15-16 (F-Sa-Su) @ OAK: This one's interesting. On Toonder (RIP) and rhythm's turf, within reasonable distance of where most of us out here live, and a weekend series. Ample opporunity to thank OCab for his services and swoon over Gio and Sweeney. Night-Day-Day.
Sep 11-12-13 (F-Sa-Su) @ LAA: Well, this is either going to be part of a pennant race or an afterthought. Night-Day-TBD
Sep 15-16-17 (Tu-W-Th) @ SEA: No weekends in Seattle this year! Night-Night-Late Afternoon.

If anybody feels like booing the shit out of a team or being generally antagonistic, I'd be up for seeing when the Twinks/Scrubs come out this way as well. I also doubt we need a poll just yet.

hotel vitale?

dickie v got a hotel?

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Dude's a high roller, for sure.

Although I think he’s a little too excited about those “diaper dandies”, if you get my drift.

And if you don’t, I’m implying that Dickie V. likes to molest boys.

You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

You said you're down for August in SF...

but the A’s play in Oakland.

So, are you actually down for Oakland in August, or is there something you’ve been wanting to tell us? ;)

You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

Well, SF and Oakland are right by each other

So the lesser species gets a pass here.

Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

Thank you. That's probably the nicest thing you've ever sorta said to me. I could throw a stone from SF and hit Oakland, fer chrissakes, rhythm!

You've got a hell of an arm, HSA!

Wanna be on our softball team?

You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

Consider yourself signed

So far we’ve got you at ss, Toonder (sp), and me (cf). I just need to find 22 more people to round out the roster ;)

Hmm...I know a couple that'll be staying at the Hotel Vitale, perhaps we can crash with them?

Sucker!

it would be an upgrade from the box, eh?

I don’t want my beer to taste like fruit or honey. I want pussy to taste that way.

by thatshortkid on Mar 5, 2009 4:18 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Now I don't know about that...

my box is sweet. I’ve got a shrine to Jesus in it and everything.

It’s a Maytag, so you know it’s quality.

You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

<3 <3 Toonder <3 gave that to you, didn’t he? <3 <3
He’s so sweet. <3
<3 <3 <3 <3

Well, Toonder did donate a rosary

but I collected the rest of the shrine myself

I meant the fancy Maytag box, but, er, nice work on building the shrine. How's that working out for you? Asking Jesus for help and all...

PS -

That reminds me of a book I have called “You Are Worthless.” A collection of daily “inspirational” messages, of sorts.

One of my favorites is:

“On second thought, you do have a friend. Jesus is your friend. Why don’t you call him up and see if he wants to hang out?”

(probably not exact, but something to that effect).

...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.

I gave that book to my best friend about 2-3 years ago.

He still gives me shit about it. I love that book.

It was given to me by my first real boyfriend, in high school. Since then, I've gifted 2 copies myself...it's quite essential, if you ask me. :)

I could throw a stone that far

You would probably have to pay someone to throw it.

I diagree completely. No free passes on this one.

You’re in India (Mumbai SSS meetup and all) and you know the difference between the two cities, whereas someone who lives in this country can’t figure it out. Pathetic. This is clearly indicative of our poor educational system and geographically-challenged populace. Well, I for one can’t stand for this and I….(rants into infinity)

OHHHHHH I GET IT NOW!

Sorry, I guess I just saw “Toonder” and everything else went blurry except for the little puffy hearts floating around my head.

Anyway, Oakland’s close e-fucking-nough.
Virgin will get me there for about $60 round-trip. woot.

$60 round trip?!?

That’s incredible! This meeting be a worthy endeavor, indeed.

I should be around in August

Putting the cart before the horse here, but would we be tailgating before the game?

I think that shooting the shit for a while before the game would be a good idea so that we can concentrate on psyching out the opposing team during the game.

You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.
