I wish I could be there

but I’m going to a friend’s memorial. The first guy I knew to be murdered.
And by his wife. I don’t think that asking for the Giants game to be on would be a good idea.

The memorial was amazing.

Jimmy Baum was a great drummer and great musician. There were tears, laughter, and lots of great music. I played the great standard ‘For All We Know’.
I believe Jimmy was a Giants fan.

Thanks for organizing these meet-ups, Goofus. I’ll make it to one of them someday. In the meantime…the last McC get-together resulted in a huge win for the Giants. I expect no less from you guys tomorrow.

There’s no age limit; they’re both restaurants.

Worth noting, however, that sneaking in through Mijita won’t work if you’re trying to avoid the Public House line. We tried that last night.

6'4" though kinda lanky here (no bouncer services promised nor recommended)

I’m at 90% probability.

I often watch at a different SF bar, but after last night’s emotional beating I definitely want to be surrounded completely by those who know my pain.

They also have lots of really nice HD tvs there.

Let’s Go Giants – I’ll have a road jersey and an orange hat with a Miller pin.

do you have to be over 21 or eat or buy food?or is it free for all and you can go in even if your 6 years old?

I’m pretty sure you can go if you’re under 21 and just order food. I don’t see why not.

Slightly off topic:

is there a longer term “what if” schedule? Turns out the mrs. and I will be in SF on 10/23, and if the Giants are still in it, we were thinking about hitting the Public House for a game if there is one. Where do I find this info, and possibly a few McCoven in the process?

Alas, my "maybe" has become a "no"

We spent the day in SF today running Kitspool Jr. ragged, and he’s still fussy after Posey’s double play ball from Friday. So I’ll be unavailable to make another trip in from the East Bay.

Have fun, McCoven, show your spirit and snark, and go Giants! I will be cheering them on and pulling out what’s left of my hair from the comforts of home.
