Seeing as Nationals are fast approaching (eek!), I thought I'd post this now to give time for debate, planning, and change to make sure we can see some action. ;)
Here's what I was thinking:
There's a Red Robin (though there are plenty of other choices also) fairly close to the pool (by the mall...about 5 milesish..maybe). I would LOVE to meet everybody from these forums so I was thinking Friday or Saturday night we should have a little dinner and drinks soiree. The formally organized USMS social is Saturday night.
So...that's my thought. Let's hash out some details and make it happen!!
:drink: :groovy: :woot:

2,000 and up? I'm lost.
Are we still going to the game? :help:
Yes, we're still going to the game, but not getting a box...those are alot (that's the 2000 and up). But if we get just regular tickets all in the same area, then it'll be fine. Just like we've been talking about...s'all good!!
I just figured you were on a bunch of other Master's swimming forums and you made A LOT of friends!!! :p
Basically. I'm the loveable little sister that everybody wants to know. ;) :laugh2:
The ball game sounds like a winner. It's something my daughter and I had talked about doing anyway. I also signed up for the Gold Medal sponsor and the Saturday night social. Anyone else sign up for these things? Maybe we can arrange a get together or something at one of these.
Good news!! My brother is going to talk with the scoreboard guy and try to get our group recognized on the scoreboard...so we should be there at the beginning of the game to see it! And he's going to talk to the guy who runs the jumbotron and see what he can do and find out about group rate tickets (but the website said 40 or more, so he may not find out anything different). :D It might be better to get the tickets online, it'll definatley lock in that we all get tickets in the same section.
Any ideas how many people will actually be going? Did everyone talk to teammates and what not? That'll factor in when buying tickets and especially if we can get some group deal.
Kyra,
We're at our Pac Champs all weekend, so I will try to remember to ask everyone tomorrow... we have between 25-30 going to Nationals. I have a different roommate now, Joan in her 70s, and she didn't sound to up for it--- I'll have to be quiet as I sneak back in our room then!!!
I'll let'cha know. I'm really excited. I can't wait to meet everybody!
:smooch:
hmmm....well if you have 25 from your team....and my team has about 10 going...we might be able to get the group rate...i wasn't sure we'd have 40 people, but it sounds like we might.
Hi,
I sniffed around at our meet today, and a lot of people sounded interested. We don't have practice tomorrow at all, but Leianne Crittenden suggested posting it at the pool. To give people more time, can I let you know Thursday, or is there some sort of a deadline?
I'd venture to guarantee about 10 from our team (WCM), but perhaps more... Why don't you start a separate thread and title it "MLB at Nationals, wanna go?" or something like that? Perhaps people like Jim Clemmons from Oakland,CA might want to go? I think there are three from his team going. I'd be interested to see what he looks like with clothes on! ;) (He swam a few races with my hubby this weekend) :)
Can't wait. I'm more excited for this than the psych sheets :)

Don't forget about me and my daughter. :wave: I asked her again tonight and she said she really wants to go.
Ok, I've got 5 for sure so far from my team and a chance for about 7 more. Plus Floyd and his daughter and Karen. So we've got 8 guranteed right? I was going to call the Mariners office and see about groups. I thought maybe we could reserve a block of tickets rather than paying for them all up front. I'd hate to buy 40 tickets and then not use them all and not get paid back. I was going to see if they would let us do like they do hotel rooms for weddings. Block out a section and certain number of tickets, then if you don't order them by a certain date your out of luck and have to try and get them at the game.
So if everyone who's interested in going would let me know how many people from their team they think are going by Tuesday, Wed. at the latest, then I'll call later this week and check on it!!
The game is Friday, May 18, starting at 7:05 p.m.
Thursday would be fine. There's no deadline, I just wanted to get it moving. Give people time to figure stuff out before hand...rather than trying to do it all the week of Nationals or something.
I like the idea of another thread....get it all in one place. I'll go do that.
