KRAUTGATE! 143

30 Jul 2011  |  monkeyball  |FKups · Game Thread

From FSU’s original thread:

official 3:30 PM start time, with coals hot by 4:00 … But early arrivals are welcome, as by 2:30 or 3:00 at the very latest I and a few of my minions will be set up in the North (“A”) lot of the Coliseum, somewhere around row 6 or 8 or 10 or so …

… a big white canopy which should be easily seen from dozens of yards away. If you need more landmarks, the Upgrade family blue Toyota Sienna minivan will be alongside…(FSU edit; no truck today)

Folks who didn’t RSVP for tickets are of course quite welcome and in fact encouraged to attend (regardless of their internet preferences). And we’re up in Sec. 316 for anyone brazen enough to try to upgrade to those prime seats.

KRAUTGATE! @ 3:30, A’s vs Twins @ 6:05, monkeyball vs the clock all day long.

See you in Lot A

    Question: we have a friend who wants to tailgate with us but needs to leave before the game. Is there a way for her to park elsewhere and join us without paying for the Coli lot? Would need to be walking distance. I know some of you have mentioned the BART lot in the past but I don’t know where/what that is. Thanks.

    • FreeSeatUpgrade Jul 30,2011 11:42 am || Up

      Here’s a map a friend made showing BART lot parking relative to where we’ll be. It’s about a 10 min walk.

      • FreeSeatUpgrade Jul 30,2011 11:45 am || Up

        If you’re Google mapping, the BART lot is at the corner of Snell St and 71st Ave.

        One can also park on one of the small streets just off Coliseum Way, on the other side of 66th Ave from the Coli lot entrance. That might be a slightly shorter walk. In either spot, there’ll be other A’s fans walking around so she won’t feel too much like she’s all alone in industrial Oakland.

    • Poppy Jul 30,2011 11:43 am || Up

      I think this is approximately how one would drive to the BART lot: http://www.bart.gov/stations/closest.aspx?address=880+and+66th&to-from=to&station=x&dir=d (I’ve only been there once). But then it would just be a matter of your friend walking into the BART station and up the stairs to the pedestrian bridge that takes her to the Coli…

    • andeux Jul 30,2011 11:46 am || Up

      The BART lot is directly behind the Coliseum BART station (bordered by 70th, Hegenburger, Snell, Hawley). There should be available spots if you get there early enough to tailgate.
      Another option in a different direction is on Independent Rd off of Coliseum Way. It’s a bit industrial looking, but not at all dangerous.
      Either one is about a 5-10 minute walk from where we’ll be set up.

    That sounds like a relatively safe bet — map can be enlarged here: http://www.bart.gov/stations/cols/neighborhood.aspx

    Looks like 880 to Hegenberger, exit San Leandro Blvd, go through that intersection and left into the lot.

    Then she can walk through the station and up over the bridge toward the Coliseum, bearing right, into the north lot. Frivolity will ensue.

          Best solution is probably to hope that NM does not become crab food this afternoon. If you need it sooner than that, was it a post, to which there might be searchable snarkitude, or just a comment ?

          I think that source code does up in the source. So if you linked an image of the table and remember the host server, you can search for that.

            • nevermoor Jul 30,2011 8:38 pm || Up

              Yeah, the search function searches all text in posts and comments (including HTML code). It works best with single word searches, though. If you’re wanting to do more involved stuff, there’s a search function in the comments section of the dashboard.

      If you have KRAUThor privileges: “Dashboard” (in the semi-transparent box floating in the upper right), then “Comments” (on the left), then use the search box there to search for your name.

He mentioned how JP was now on his way home, chatted us up a bit, I offered my serious congrats on HoF, etc etc, he did exploding fist bumps with JP, encouraged me to board before him when the SF train came in.

    Apologies to Monkeyball and the meesus for Kelsey’s wildness, and thanks to all who gave me and my wife a break by holding a kid or two (PTBNL). We were all quite tired and will sleep like logs tonight. I only wish I had more time to chat with all of you.

    Oh and nevermoor, I hope you enjoyed your whale-hunting excursion and I hope it was successful in procuring oil for your lamps. As was pointed out during the tailgate, watching the A’s is just like watching a whale. A beached whale. With the flailing and struggling. The knowledge that none of it will do any good. The rotting, the complaining of locals. The eventual blowing up of the remains. The screaming and terror as parts of the roster begin raining down and smashing cars. (at this point mrs. coin pointed out that the analogy had become strained).

      It was awesome (though, of course, any other saturday…). We saw approximately umpteen humpbacks (seriously, at one point there were like 10 around the boat so there was near constant spouting/fluking), and were able to get close enough to hear the noise the fluke makes. We saw three Blues (which kind of blows your mind because you think humpbacks are big, then the blue is like double their length). We saw a bunch of dolphins (including a pair that swam in front of our boat for awhile), a bunch of porpoises, sea lions frolicking, and more kinds of birds than I could keep track of.

      It’s probably once-in-a-lifetime, but very very worth doing (when all your kids are >10)

            It actually looks pretty kick good, hardware wise, especially if you’re not going to tweak it or anything and just use it the way Sprint releases it. Personally I’m not a big fan of Motorola but that’s because HTC and Samsung devices have been much easier to hack and put custom ROMs onto.

    Anyone else take pics? If you’ll send them to me, a collage might ensue. tfcmail@gmail.com Box prolly has 10MB limit/email. Whales included.

      No whale pix, sadly. We grabbed the film camera instead of the digital one (it was, after all, 6 am on a Saturday), and then it turned out to be nearly out of batteries.

      Only (non FK) bummer of the day.

    The medal winners at FKBeerfest included sslinger’s Coney Island Lager and ptbnl’s Green Flash West Coast IPA, both of which were included in my $80 stock-up purchase at the Auburn BevMo on the way back up the hill today.

                  I’m sure I’ve had a beer at a game with you. I don’t usually have more than one at a non-tailgating game that I’ve driven to, so maybe you just didn’t notice it.

          Green Lakes from Deschutes Brewery. One of my favorite beers and its only moderately priced.

    I’ll echo the sentiments expressed by all, it was a great time, great to see everyone and their offspring. It was nice to have such a great turnout for it.

    And after today’s game Andeux has now seen two wins in a row, so I think the jinx is officially off.

      Maybe we should go for two next year. I’ll be interested to see what excuses I can come up with to duck out on you FKers.
