Nice Shoes, Bad Baseball - Styleforum Baltimore baseball game meetup

[Douglas]

I've mentioned this a few times and there's been generally positive response, so I thought I'd go ahead and take the bull by the horns on this. Let's do a DC/Baltimore meetup at an O's game later this month.

Looking at the schedule, the O's have just one real homestand left this month - So I'll float 3 possible dates in the middle of that stand and we'll see which is most popular:

Tuesday, July 20 @ 7:05pm vs. Tampa Bay
Thursday, July 22 @ 7:05pm vs. Minnesota
Friday, July 23 @ 7:05pm vs. Minnesota

(The Wednesday game is an afternoon affair, so I ruled it out.)

I figure we can meet up somewhere about an hour before game time for a drink and then settle into a block of seats in the bleachers. If there's enough interest maybe we can even get a group sale thing going on and get Styleforum.net up on the scoreboard for a truly gay photo-op. If we get rained out, so much the better, and we can just booze it up somewhere downtown.

Who's interested, and on what day?

 

[KObalto]

I think I can make Tuesday or Thursday. Will we be wearing paper bags on our heads?

 

[whusurdadi]

Interested in a Tue/Thurs...but I'll only come if everyone wears SF approved apparel...

 

[JohnGalt]

Ill be at the friday game - have our corp tix that day

 

[Douglas]

I'll be in a bespoke brown paper bag with plenty of drape.

In all seriousness, I'll dress nicely and all but if it's 100 degrees out I'm leaving the sportcoat at home.

JohnGalt, would you brave one of the other games that week as well?

sitting through the pathetic O's game more than once a year...that's tough...gonna need a lot of alcohol...
And if it's 100+ like it's been, I think dressing nicely is overrated...

 

[Joffrey]

**** Baltimore.

 

[Nouveau Pauvre]

I am probably in assuming I am not still soul-crushingly broke.

Jeff - you can take the marc train for like 8 bucks and it stops literally next to the stadium.

 

[edmorel]

Douglas, I won't be able to make it.

 

[JohnGalt]

scratch that - I actually have tix for saturday's game (your dates threw me off in the OP - Saturday is the 24th).

 

[Douglas]

Sorry, as JohnGalt indicated, I had the dates wrong in the OP. Now corrected.

Sounds like Tuesday and Thursday are emerging as early favorites. Jeff, get your weak DC ass up here.

I predict the affirmative responses will start flying in now that Edmorel is a definite no-show.

 

[JohnGalt]

would be tough for me to make it to another game. you all should just go on sat!

 

[KObalto]

I'm so ****, I figured out what I was wearing before I posted.

I can only take Vox's silence on this thread to mean that he will indeed be attending.

 

[Joffrey]

Ok, I'll do the 23rd if Magician shows and people guarantee that sometime during the night we will stop at the Hustler Club.
