So, last chance to weigh in on which date we convene the second annual official FK Day. So if anyone knows any reason why FK and this date should not join in holy FKuppery, speak now or forever hold your peace complain vociferously. Once I unilaterally decide that this is the date we reach finger-wiggling consensus, I’ll put up a new thread looking for actual RSVPs for ticket-buying and other pre-planning purposes later, probably next week.
General consensus previously was for a Saturday 6:00 pm start time, before the A’s are mathematically eliminated. So April, really, or maybe May if we’re standardly deviating in a positive way. As noted previously, this is obviously not to the exclusion of other FKups, starting opening night and continuing on many days and nights thereafter. Hell, I might just Occupy the Parking Lot for all of April. But this is the one where if you’re only going to make it to one A’s game in 2011, you make it to this one.
Also, taking suggestions for FKgate taglines. Early thoughts:
- April 21: A date which shall live in infamy
- Not only are we grilling, we’re electing a new pope
- Show up to find out who gets the Fuentes ball this year
- DFA is a year older, but no more humble
So, please post your thoughts. Any old thoughts will do.
Does BART go to Arkansas?
I am sure if you swing a ‘possum by the tail you will hit a bart
I’ll go outside and see.
In a sense….it goes to SFO and OAK.
Or at least within a bus ride of OAK.
AirBART is BART.
Only if you count diesel vehicles with rubber tires driving on the street as BART. It’s a bus.
It’s in the name!
/politifact
A bus that doesn’t take FKing BART tickets, to boot.
Doesn’t it take BART tickets of exact fare? (Not that that’s useful at all)
CASH!
No so we can force people to move to the city.
How better to mark the 2765th anniversary of the founding of Rome?
FRomulus and KRemus day!
An orgy?
At the coliseum.
On the grass.
with togas
Thanks, and go As.
Mmmmm.
…of bad hitting.
I will be there!
Sooo Ill have about 8 hours to sober up before the start? I guess thats doable.
Oooooh! My first FKing event. I think I shall.
And, I’ll need a ticket.
Excellent. I’ll do an RSVP and ticket headcount post next week.
Thank you, FSU. Let me know if you need help with anything.
We’ll be there, but we already have tix for that game so you don’t need to include us in the group buy.
4/21 sounds good to me and I’m sure I would stay overnight and go to the Sunday afternoon game as well.
I know a guy with a Grill.
Thanks, and go As.
I like Big Ass and I cannot lie.
yay, i think we can be there.
FK. that’s the birthday of someone close to me who might object loudly and with good reason if I suggested a baseball game that day.
I think that date would work for me. When you’re trying to get a headcount, I will confirm and let you know if anyone else is coming.
Well boo. I will be out of town on 4/21.
Well boo. I will be out of continent on 4/21
Well boo. I will be incontinent on 4/21.
4/21! (from the Urban Dictionary):
Happily, the only split samples on FK day are of the beer-tasting variety.
yes.
I probably won’t be able to make it, just because evening games are tough for me. Still, the Rollie Fingers bobblehead and ’72 championship celebration are enticing. Oh, and meeting you people I guess.
The date looks good for me, but I really want that bobblehead, so I suppose I would maybe be bailing early on the tailgate portion? No ins and outs, right? Hmmmm…..
How many of the bobbles are they making? They definitely didn’t run out of Rickey, for example.
Promo schedule says first 10,000 fans. Tailgate will likely convene long before the gates open, so batgirl could hang with us cool folks, then go inside 60+ minutes before game time and still be near certain to score a Rollie, I’d think.
Amazingly, it turns out that April 21 is the anniversary of the date Fingers become the first guy ever to record 300 saves, although that came in a Brewers uniform.
That should work fine by me since I’ll be re-joining you all in the seats. Count me in.
no, but you’ll get at least five guys in exchange
I probably won’t make the 21st unless I can find a ride but if you guys do something during the summer, I’ll definitely be down.
Two dawgs, Otter pops, no pups.
Nope.
