Update: McC Night at the Yard Monday 7/27

The 4th Annual McC Night at the Yard is a month away and shaping up to be simply smashing once again. The game will be Monday July 27th vs. The Pirates. As required by the laws of tradition, we'll be meeting up for pre-game cocktails at Zeke's (3rd & Brannan). Everyone is welcome to join us, even if they're not able to make the game.
The Mayor of 311 and I have donated our own season tickets. On top of that, Kitspool and I were able to score additional great seats, so a total of 15 people are loving life. Here's the breakout of who's sitting where:
Field Club on the Giants' Dugout
My friend who works for one of the owners scored her boss' tickets. (This grouping will be known as "Beauty and the Beasts"):
- Grant
- The Mayor
- Kitspool
- Mrs. Goofus
- Goofus
Lower Box 123, Row 24
Kitspool snagged tickets directly behind us. This grouping will be called "grougthink" and include the biggest gathering of Mods since Quadrophenia. Sitting there will be:
- Howtheyscored
- Natto
- Walrusman
- Groug
Lower Box 117, Row 26
Sitting in my regular seats will be proof that there are indeed girls on the internet. We'll call this grouping "Brute's Angels":
- tk
- jponry
- Baronvoncurrentevents
- BruteSentiment
View Box 311
These are The Mayor's seats and will be occupied by:
- Delorean
- Mrs. Delorean
Since they'll able to see us from above and since Mrs. Delorean is a trapeze acrobat, we'll call this "Aerialist Surveilance"
If anyone with extra tickets or people looking to connect to thers in order to sit together, use the comments section here.

I now have the Mods’ tickets in my physical possession, so they’ll really be sitting in Sec. 123.
I’m wondering if they’ll make Mod-related jokes all night, like before getting up to head to the rest room they’ll say, “Be right back, guys, I gotta open a new thread.”

View Box 311, Row B, seats 11-12 are likely available from the team.
Look into them if you want to sit next to Mr. and Mrs. Delorean. The former seasonticketholder for those seats switched his license to another section (loser), so the team is selling those seats. A friend just bought them for an August game. This far in advance (of a Monday game against a meh team), they’re likely still available. Delorean is hilarious and Mrs. Delorean is unbelievably lovely, so it would be a treat for anyone if those seats are still available.

Random thought
We should pick a certain inning in the game to all congregate in the standing room area along the arcade section. There, we can baffle passersby with a live action recreation of a gameday thread. Perhaps some people could even print out locats, awkward family photos, and random Google Image Search results to hold up appropriate moments.

Exactly. And to explain further, I also go by Sven Svenersen, but there is a subtle emphasis on the "er" syllable in the last name.
Baron is Sven Svenersen, with with a slightly elongated vowel sound in the first name. And so on.
It is very funny. We used to all come to these things dressed up as our favorite Danish physicist, and speak in character and try to figure out who each other is portraying. We stopped that after three years of literally everyone coming as Neils Bohr.
