2007 Fan Fest, 9-15 ... Brewers Win!

[Brian the Automator]

I'm big into cream soda.

[bball123h2]

Methinks I'll just go pick out a variety pack, including black cherry, cream, root beer, cola, blue raspberry, cherry....... Black Bear rules.

[brewerjamie15]

Does that stuff still come in a wooden case? I remember getting it that way. Good stuff.

[bball123h2]

Sadly, its all plastic now. No awesome wood crates, no refunds for returned bottles.

[tomwopat]

Mrs. Wopat will make an asian slaw, I'll bring a case of schlitz or some similarly swill macrobrew, and a folding card table.

[brewerjamie15]

The date is approaching, so I'd like to take a minute and let you know that we will be in the Giants parking lot. I drive a black SUV and it will have some blue balloons as a marker of our location. If that does not work, I will soon be PM'ing my cell phone number to confirmed attendees.

See you all there.

Remember-

look toward the front end of the Giants parking lot (Story Parkway- right by the freeway: ya gotta walk under the freeway bridge to get to the ballpark) Look for a bunch of blue balloons attached to a black SUV.

[brewerjamie15]

Grocery shopping is done. This is gonna be some good stuff.

[hawing]

The brownies are ready to roll, too.

[brewerjamie15]

I think I'm going to sit by Laura and her brownies.

 

Either that, or everyone will be crowded around the grills. That's right 2 grills going. I have about thirty bratwurst to take care of. I'll use one large grill to cook and another large one to keep the brats warm. I plan to snuggle them in a fine bed of sauerkraut, onion, and beer. That my friends is how much I love you all.

[pitchleague]

Have fun for me and my wife, by the way. Drink a cool one for both of us and bring us a victory!

[hawing]

Drink a cool one for both of us and bring us a victory!

It's supposed to drop to 32 degrees in Madison tonight and there's a freeze warning to our west. So, no problem on the "cool one." http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif

 

As for the victory, we'll do what we can. The Brewers are 5-0 lifetime in fan fest games. Soon, God, make it soon.

[bball123h2]

I'm really sorry folks, but Black Bear and I will not be there. Somehow, I decided that bronchitis would be fun for the pennant drive.

 

Hawing, let me know if you can't get rid of your 2 extras, and I'll pay you for them (seeing as you held them for me).

[colbyjack]

I picked up cole slaw and german potato salad on my way home from work this evening. I'm guessing that I'll get off work around 3:30, will run home to pick up the salads, beer and my brother & sister-in-law and will probably hit the parking lot around 5pm, hopefully sooner.

 

Plus, my mom called me today to tell me someone kindly placed two extra tickets for tomorrow's game in her labcoat, if anyone is interested in joining us at the last minute.

 

As always, I'm looking forward to it. I've missed the past couple of Fan Fests, and I hope that my presence can re-kindle the spirit of Eddie Perez...or maybe Dennis Sarfate http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

[Brian the Automator]

Nicole's going to be a no-show, but I'm trying to see if a friend from Madison can go... Seems like most things that are in the realm of my capabilities (i.e. chips) are pretty well accounted for. I'll probably grab some beers and some pre-fab snacks.

[burniebrewer]

The Brewers are 5-0 lifetime in fan fest games.

 

Wrong. They're 6-0.http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif

 

I propose daily fan fests!

[hawing]

Well, they were 5-0 in fanfest games, over franchise history, prior to Saturday night. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif

 

Another quality outing by the bf.net crowd. We enjoyed seeing (and in some cases meeting) each of you, the game wasn't irreparably 'Yosted', and the Cardinals helped a bit. Prince breaking the franchise season HR record was probably the main magic of the night. We sat out by the RF fair pole and were in decent position to watch that one sail into the picnic section.

 

Unfortunately, if we had daily fan fests, they would cease to be special. But as always, we look forward to the next one. Good work, y'all.

[AJAY]

Special thanks to Jamie, Mary, and Brian for organizing Fan Fest and putting in the hard work. It was nice to see everyone and also meet some of the other members I had never met before. I really enjoyed the tailgate party.

[burniebrewer]

Unfortunately, if we had daily fan fests, they would cease to be special.

 

Oh, I think they'd be darn special if every one of those wins got us into the playoffs.http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif

[bball123h2]

Glad you folks got to see a good game. Sorry I couldn't be there. Brian and Hawing, I owe you folks some Black Bear next time I see you.

[Brian the Automator]

Had a great time as always.... nice to see all of you again, and nice to meet Geno finally. Also cool of 20fry to introduce himself... Looking forward to next year already.

[brewerjamie15]

The weather was perfect, the food was great, our team won...the best part of the day was the

people!

It was so good to see everyone. The Brewerfan.netters are such a special group. Mary and I cannot remember the last time we tailgated and watched a game in better company. Thank you!

[hawing]

Yeah, ironically 20fry was in a tailgate group next to ours, and just happened to catch a glimpse of Brian and put things together. We are glad you stopped by.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

Now if only we could track down the perpetrator of last night's crime. A few suspects:

[brewerjamie15]

Yeah. Ya try to be nice, and your Brewers Chef Hat gets stolen for your efforts. Bummer.

I hope that woman gets hit by a bus.

[Paul77]

Yeah, ironically 20fry was in a tailgate group next to ours, and just happened to catch a glimpse of Brian and put things together. We are glad you stopped by.

Seriously, what are the odds of that happening? It was nice to meet everyone, glad to put a face with all the names.
