Threadhead Baseball

[festivalgirl]

Hi. here is the list so far.......who have I missed?

Blitzzzz - 1
NOLA - 1
Zydekitten - 1
GrisGris - 1
Ozzie - 1
STLBarb - 2
Jordan - 5
MightyRadGumbo - 1

With our 2, we have 15.

I'm gonna say we're @ 20 (we'll make up the difference if necessary)! TH Breakfast Baseball is on!

[Zydekitten]

I may have a "plus one" - I'll have to see if Denbear wants to join the krewe.

Thanks for rounding up the cats, Festie!!! :)

[mightyradgumbo]

YYR, FG, it will be fun fo sho-Zkitty, I am debating about the car thing. I should figure it out in a day or two.

[Zydekitten]

Coolio - I'll stay tuned . . . :D

It will be a big time for reals!!

[ozzie]

Thanks! I'm prolly a 2.

[NOLA]

I'm a minimum 1 but could be a 2, 3 or even a 4. Are we getting tickets on our own but from a block they will hold for us, or how is it going to work?

Thanks Festivalgirl for pulling this all together!

from aprevious thread, i beleive the answer is yes, there will be a block reserved and we purchase that day.

festivalgirl needs to give them a reasonable number to hold in that block. we need a minumum of 20 to get the group thing. but we wouldnt want to say hold 50, if we are only expecting 25.

i may have a few more from our krewe also, and then there is a chicago krewe that is not represented on the bored. i'll check with them, too.
i'll try to get some reliable numbers.

No Problem!! We have to commit to 20 - which we pretty much have. We can increase the number up to a week in advance. Let's use Sunday 4/22 - Earth Day - as last call (sorry for that ugly terminology) so I can give them the "final" number Monday 4/23. At that time, we can determine if we should add a few extra.

I'm going to call in tomorrow AM and set-up for the 20 and we'll go forward from there! :D

my only cocnern is how many 'fair weather fans' do we have?

[Blitzzzzz]

Just as long as I can get some good strong coffee on the way to the game, I'm in for sure. Weather isn't gonna stop me, though I am worried about exhaustion that early in the week.:cool:

By the way, Barb.
Is a cocnern something local to St. Louis?:cool:

haven't you been to cocnerns in the prak?

actually, i injured my hand and its completely thrown off my typing rhythm, my letters are all messed up. you should see my posts before i edit them.

[festivalgirl]

my only cocnern is how many 'fair weather fans' do we have?

we know where they live! ;)

i'm going on the honor system. if that doesn't work, we'll make up the difference. at 8.50 a ticket, it shouldn't be too bad. who knows, maybe we'll pickup some cool baseball fans along the way.

[festivalgirl]

i don't go anywhere in the morning without strong coffee!

Well, aren't y'all gonna be at Rosetree's party that A.M?? I'm sure he'll have some java there for you caffeine junkies! :D

[festivalgirl]

what's the best way to get to rosetree's from the quarter (sans car)?

trust me, there's a city ordinance where ever i am ... don't let chrissa out in public without black coffee!

The best way is to take the ferry to Algiers. We are 8 blocks from the landing.
You can go to my site www.rosetreegallery.com and go to the visit us page for directions.....hope to see you there!!!!

and those are short N.O. blocks, not those long city blocks like Chicago?

can't make the open house, so we will be by monday or tuesday morning (will there still be coffee?)

[NOLA]

I'm planning to drive over to Rosetree's Wednesday morning some time and can provide transportation for 3 or 4 to the game for anyone who wants to leave straight from there. I'll be happy to bring my riders back to the Quarter or wherever after the game, too.

the day they ban or criminalize coffee, is the day we revolt!!!!

[mightyradgumbo]

I am pretty sure I will have a vehicle, Kitty. Just gotta get in touch with my hotle to see the parking charges/day.

That would be great of either you or NOLA!!! You're da greatest!! :D

Maybe we should compile a sub-list of those who'll be driving and can give rides and those who need them . . .

Have Car and Can Give Rides:
NOLA - Can Take 3-4 ppl.
Gumbo - Can Take 3-4 ppl.


Need Rides:
Zydekitten - 1-2 ppl
Festivalgirl - 1

Anybody else to add to this list? . . .

I could use a ride. I'm in the Lower Quarter, 900 block of Burgundy at the St. Pierre.:cool:

[Blitzzzzz]

Well, aren't y'all gonna be at Rosetree's party that A.M?? I'm sure he'll have some java there for you caffeine junkies! :D

In the morning? You mean before the 11:30 am gametime?
Oh, good Lord, no! After the Patry and the benefit at Ray's, I am planning on some sleep!
Hopefully, there will be time for a second shift at Rosy's after the game?

I know some of you think it's overrated, but I don't plan to start burning both ends of the candle til, maybe Friday.:cool:

[stlbarb]

swimming

i thought doing the grids gave you the ability to walk on water. :p

[Zydekitten]

Okay, here's a revised list:

Have Car and Can Give Rides:
NOLA - Can Take 3-4 ppl.
Gumbo - Can Take 3-4 ppl.


Need Rides:
Zydekitten - 1-2 ppl
Festivalgirl - 2
Blitzzzzz - 1, but only back to Rosy's in the P.M. (?)

Any other revisions?

Yupper, Blitzzzzy!!

'Cause after the game is Ingrid's party . . . and my guess that a lot of us would want to go straight to there from the game, right krewe?? :D

So, we may need to identify from the gracious drivers - who's going where AFTER the game . . .

we will be heading to the game from metairie after an airport run.
not sure if it will be 2 or 4 of us, 1 or 2 cars.
we (the 2) plan to go to Ingrids after a brief stop at the motel to change, grab some wine, etc. but if we have room in the car, and you don't mind a detour, you can ride with us to Ingrids - or be dropped at destinations in-between - or maybe even get a freshen up stop of your own,

I need a ride to the game, pickup at the St. Pierre. After the game I can take care of my own transport to Rosy's, once I get back to my hotel, as I love taking the ferry with my bike As for Ingrid's, I'll just have to see. :cool:

Around what time do you think the game will be over??? Do they take about 3 hours?

[Zydekitten]

Yeah, they're usually about 3 hoursish . . . which means if there are folks who are going from the game to your fab event , they won't have too much time to get there and enjoy you and your lovely art before 4.

[Blitzzzzz]

That sounds about right. Sometimes AAA ball is a little bit faster than the Majors. Do you think you'll still be entertaining?:cool:

Gumbo - Can Take 3-4 ppl.
STLBarb - Can Take 2-4 ppl. (yes?), but only to Ingrid's (no game, no Rosy's)


Need Rides:
To Rosy's in the A.M. and then onward to the game:
Zydekitten - 1-2 ppl
Festivalgirl - 2

Directly to the game (do not pass Go, do not collect $200):
Blitzzzzz - 1

Does that seem accurate so far? Any other, other needed revisions? :D

[rosetree]

As long as I am standing!!! I usually blow glass until 5:00, so you should be good!

Doesn't Ingrids start at 5 or 6? I am not sure if I can designate myself as a driver after Ingrids LOL I was thinking about stashing the car after Ingrids and cabbing/streetcar from the 1/4.
I will be up early for sure as I have to cart Priestboy's azz to the aeropuerto at zero dark thirty-morning paper, coffee and beignets at dumonde after that. Then RTs, and the ballgame and Ingrids and a caffiene IV the next day LOL

Hmmm, I have 2:00 stuck in my head - but my head is ever-so-frequently fuzzy and wrong (and I've only had two glasses of vino so far) . . .

Basically your plan is the same as mine (without the caffeine IV though) ;)

Actually a vacation (figuratively and literally) compared to back home, RT. Just hope I don't fall asleep anywhere I am not supposed to. :D

i hate wishy-washy people, but i have no idea what others in the krewe st loo
are doing - and they aren't aware of this option for wednesday. there are 8 of us and 4 cars for the days tween. i think 4 will pass, but you never know.

if it was needed i'm sure Jan would come get people and take them to the game even if she wasnt going. she is that nice (actually from Michigan, not MO). but her & nancy may want to go to the game & go to rosetree's after. i will try to find out their plans.

i have to drop the BF at the airport - his flight is 11:50, and he will fight me to arrive as late as possible. so it doesnt leave me time to swoop into the 1/4. i would like to be at the ball park early. $1 hot dogs!!

[The Krewe of Chew]

Count us in!(for 2 people) We want to go to a Zephyr's game, and it would be so much fun to go with y'all. (Dave is a big Mets Fan, treat him nice.) We would need a ride from the quarter straight to the game.

We will pass on Rosetree's party (much as we would like to go) but it's going to be a long day. We have tickets to the Ponderosa Stomp, and hope to catch some of Marcia in the park. So if any driver is going back to the quarter after the game, we'd like to hitch a ride back with them as well.

Too much going on! FOMS on the non-fest days!

Red Beans and Ricely Yours,
Cindy & Dave

Just checked the thread, it's 5 pm. Assuming the game goes 3 hours max, that's 2:30. Gonna be some time to kill in there.:cool:

not being from LA-CA, i will stay for extra innings.

but if we have enough cars, it gives us the opportunity to have cocktails somewhere else on the way to the 1/4. Rivershack - cheap beers, large selection - nice wine too. or something in the garden district along st.charles or magazine. that can be decide day of - just something to think about.

True Dat....I was at an Angels game one night. Bobby Witt, pitcher for the Angels is hurling a perfect game...people leaving during the last couple of innings. Yeah, I was just thinking the 1/4 because I would drop the vehicle off but yeah many good stops along the way for sho.

Oh don't even get me back on the L.A. "fans" coming late/leaving early rant . . . I raved about that on another thread some time ago - grrrrrrrrr.

I think some afternoon fun in the Quarter before Ingrid's would be most excellent!

If I am recalling correctly, it is easiest to take the Canal St streetcar up to within about 2 blocks of where she lives

[mightyradgumbo]

YYR, Saturn...The walk (I walked home from there last year, in a slurged state I might add) and it wasn't too bad but it is a good distance

[stlbarb]

we have a car - i just thought i had read previous posts about it being up canal. on the other side of Rampart isn't that a litlle interesting to be walking thru, sober or slurged?
how far up canal?

yeah, sort of sketchy in the dark but I watch my back and am fine-Its pretty far up Canal from what memory I have left serves me N. Hennessey sounds familiar as I look at a street map or maybe it was Hennessey I was dinkin' LOL

Gumbo if ya want you could leave your car at our Quarter hotle. We have parking included but no car. Not sure what we'll do between the ball game, rosetreefest, spruce-up + nap, pre-ingrid drinks, Ingrids and the stomp... but doesn't matter what we get up to, you can use the park if it helps. I haven't actually checked with them, but I presume if we can park there then our space could be used for a mate.

[NOLA]

Damn that's hard-core for a minor league game! Don't get me wrong, I've stayed 18 innings in Houston and 16 in Yankee Stadium (the 2 a.m. subway ride to Manhattan was, umm, interesting) but 9 will do me just fine in Metry (unless we are seeing some sort of history-in-the-making like a guy going for his 8th HR of the day or something!).

I am planning to depart for the game from Rosetree's around 10:45-ish and can bring folks back to the Quarter or other locales between the ballpark and downtown...without TV timeouts etc. I would think about 2 1/2 hours is average for 9 innings.

That is soooo nice, OZ, thanks. I think I should be fine with my hotle...I know they have some room plus I have a couple of various (legal) stash points around the 1/4. Y'all going to the game?

Sorry, I (mis)read your post as you staying outside the Quarter. Not so nice really, just that your bro's got you know who's ear and I gotta cover all my bases! :D

Yep, looking forward to the game.

[festivalgirl]

Hey. Was off the grid last night - wine and burger night at one of our favorite eateries! 2 of us, 2 burgers, 2 bottles of wine ...........

Anyway, we're going to catch Marcia in the Park since we don't have her on our weekend. 3hr 'twwen Zephs & the Park smells like cocktails to me!!
