If I can ever arrange that maybe we can stop and have breakfast/lunch/ or dinner.

Or when you come up for a game some of us can get together for a brunch somewhere. Just let us know where you may be going.

We must have missed by minutes. I was at the train platform at 9:04. This first game is when I transfer tickets to a friend and he transfered $1100 to me. By no means do I expect things to revolve around my schedule, but the first game is a tough one for me to hang in the flats for any amount of time. I hated to go, but business is business. I can't monkey around and hold tickets up until a few days before the game living as far away as I do. The schedule was announced in mid April and our agreements were in place inside of 2 weeks. I had to get over to the Burke Lot around 9:30-10. Since the transer has been made, I can hang in the flats every game if anything is going on. I can hang at the Flatiron, or can walk up to the Barley House which offers a fine pregame option. I will park there every game I attend except for the Broncos game. My wife is going and we wil stop for dinner after the game. I don't want my car to be the last car down there, so I will park up top near the restaurants.

Sorry I missed you. I am sure that our paths will cross before it's over.

I hear ballpeen stopped by but skedaddled before I got there at 9 AM. Sorry I missed you Russ.

Like I said, group of friends whom aren't associated with the board and they are regulars at the Muni.

I myself might try to sneak out and stop by real quick.

This is the "Big One" the annual board reunion Tailgate. It's under the bridge in the Flats. Unless you're a regular in the Muni, why not join us for this one? PM me or Zombo for directions if you're interested.

Zombo said:

Ditto- I'll try to get there early enough to catch you Russ. IIRC, you also have friends over in the Muni Lot.

@hoorta said:

Oops, OK, I do always forget to do that. Thanks.

Edit: Cleaned up now.

@ballpeen said:

It will be great to see you as always, Russ.

Ya, I was talking about your PMs on this board. Check out Horta's post.

What you need to do is check your PMs on this board. On the upper right corner of the board you'll find your name next to "sign out" Click the drop down and select "Personal Messenger". Over on the left side of the screen that shows up is an area called storage. You're allowed to save 50 messages. If you have reached that limit, your PM box is full, and you can't get any more. You have to delete stuff you don't want to get back in the loop.

My voice mail is not set up, but you can send me a text. Or sometimes I see when I have missed a call and it gives me the #.

Zombo said:

I think I still have your cell phone #.

What happened with Howie and G? They are the ones that set this time....and I thought I saw Howie on Facebook just a while back explaining that he was looking forward to coming in.

Too much frustration?

Friday at the Eastland sounds good. And I will give some thought to the Tribe on Saturday. Have not been to a game this year. Hopefully they will be closer to a WC spot by that time.

Maybe you need to delete some old ones?

Larry,

No Brits this year, just a Scot. Call me, text or PM me and I'll fill you in if you haven't heard.

Ed is doing the food, sound like Mike will have a little thing going on too.

I don't know when you get to Cleveland, but we will be out Friday, maybe the burbs, and Saturday, tribe game. Hope to see you those nights, if not, then definitely at the tailgate, it'll be great to catch up!

Mike,

Tailgate, starts at 7 AM people usually flock in between 7 & 9. I like to be there as early as possible.

It will be great to see you and your family. Ed (Roachmastr) is planning something food-wise, but I would say bring your grill, dogs and brats, that is a great idea, we always have more people than we think.

The fudge and munchies will get comsumed as well, lol. Between you and Ed, we should be covered. We will all donate to Ed, don't be shy about putting out a donation jar if you end up sharing your food. BYOB.

I can't wait to see everybody!

Gip, I get in Thursday night at 10:00 PM. Staying at the Gateway Radisson downtown.

Saturday night, a bunch of us are going to the Tribe game. Tickets are cheap if anyone wants to go.

Friday night might be the night we head up to the suburbs and do the Eastland or something like that.

I don't know if you guys have heard, but Howard and G are not making it this year.

Keith is coming from Scotland, Mark is coming from California, Mike is coming from Atlanta, and it sounds like most or all of our Ohio crowd will be there.

Tailgate ... same spot, people start getting there 7 AM.

Browns Backers have invited me to walk on the field Sunday before the game, so I may have to leave the tailgate early, have to be at stadium by noon ... so orange shit has to flow by 11.

Gip, I think I have all your contact info, and if you don't have mine, contact me. If any plans get cemented I will let you know. And that goes for Larry, Mike, Cal, and anyone else that will be joining us, PM me and I'll text you with whatever we are doing.

Can't wait to see everybody and watch a home win!

I'll have to PM Ed the (retired) Tailgate meister as to what the plans are. I suspect the Brits will be there shortly after the sun comes up. I usually get there at a more sane hour of 9 or so.

I've only been to one of these a couple years ago. Some questions:

1) What time will the tailgate start?

2) What should we bring?...Hot dogs, brats, buns, beer? Peanut butter fudge & munchies? Son in Law has a small gas grill & we can pump out dogs & brats quickly. Just let me know what we can do.

Looking forward to it.

Mike

Go to the game, watch Mariota torch our shoddy defense, go home and drink

I see that Steve is playing Friday and Sat. at Put-in-Bay. Not doing the Eastland for the tailgate.
