OK Gang,
One more reminder about our get-together:
Where: The Public House (The bar/restaurant at AT&T Park)
When: Tonight at 5:00pm
Why: To watch tonight's big game against The Rox (featuring Big Time Timmy Jim)
Based on the previous threads, we should have a turnout of at least 10-15 people. (Those who have indicated they are attending include jponry, j14, oldjacket, Mrs. Oldjacket, Groug, Biff Pocoroba, jctgamer, Mrs. jctgamer, Johnny Disaster, Mrs. Disaster, Goofus and Mrs. Goofus) We also have additional folks who are going to try to be there.
Everyone is welcome. If you've never attended a McC meetup, they tend to be fun and friendly, so come on out.

Who do we have on the east coast? I’m in Manhattan and would be willing to travel in the metro area for a meetup. Maybe at pacific standard if we can get them to put the game on with sound? I’m not jinxing anything by suggesting a postseason gathering.

There's a fairly sizable DC contingent
And by that I mean me, I think xanathan, and like 3-4 other people.
If we make it to the playoffs we should all meet in Philly.
Me, MissingBarry and oneflapdown(?) are all in the Philly area.

DC! Would be a fun meet-up, if anyone were to set it up. I don’t really know any sports bars in DC that would play the Giants game though.

I actually turn 21 on the last day of the regular season
So if we can figure out a bar that’ll play Giants playoff games, it could be a fun meetup,
That would be cool.
I’m sure if they make the playoffs, since only one game goes on at a time (I think, it’s been so long), most bars should play all the games. If there’s enough interest, it would be cool to try to get some DC people to meet up somewhere.

DC Meet Up
You can actually reserve tables at Public Bar, which has lots of sports tvs and isn’t club-ish until night. I saw different alumni groups reserve tables for the NCAA tourney there.
I could organize if ppl are serious.
Yeah man, that would be awesome. If the Giants make the playoffs, we should really think about this. Maybe a Friday or Saturday or something?

I’m in Astoria. Pacific Standard is the shit, though I find its pub quiz to demand excessively specialized knowledge (i.e. hipster).
(Yeah, I know that implies that there are such things as non-hipster pub quizzes. LOL me.)

Anyone driving from Santa Cruz? Would love to go
But I feel like I’m in high school again. Mom’s got the car.
Rooting for the Yankees is like cheering the tanks at Tianamen Square.
Hai guys, sorry to say I will be unable to attend tonight. To those who can make it, though, it’s a guaranteed good time, with lots of laughs and nerdy comments in real time, and with real people making them right in front of you.
I’ll try to make it to the next get-together, which with any luck will be in a couple weeks to watch a road playoff game.

I live within walking distance of Kits Pool,
so I won’t be there either…
Sweet! I’ve always wanted to live in Vancouver.

Yeah, it's a pretty nice place.
But you pay for it.
wish
i lived in san fran i would so be there!
NOT THIS TIME MOPES
I won’t be able to make the game because I was convinced to head down to the bayview to check out the speakeasy brewery.
Would love to make it next time as long as j14 and Johnny Disaster treat me as a person and not a piece of meat.

Possibly Maybe
I thought I wouldn’t be able to come because I had a thing in the East Bay scheduled, but I just got an email that there’s a chance that might be canceled. I had a lot of fun last time, so I’d love to be there tonight for such an important game. If my other thing does end up getting canceled, then I should be able to make it.
Hope to see you all soon.
Have fun
I live in LA. No chance of ever making one of these.
Is anybody up for an LA meet-up possibly for next weekends game(s)?

Sounds like fun
I’m bummed I live too far away to be able to make it. This game’s gonna be awesome, but it would be even MORE awesome to watch it with some other hardcore fans. I can’t even remember the last time we had a real 3 team playoff race this late in the season, and not just that, 2 of the final 3 series’ are against the 2 other teams we’re going against. That’s fuckin pure Baseball.
We're not hardcore fans
But Howie is, so you might want to contact him. (Although watching porn with Howie would be pretty creepy.)

You think you're gonna drive up, or you think from San Jose?

I just got off the phone with The Public House
There’s also “Opera at the Park” tonight, so they might be busy. They’re holding the area for us again. If anyone gets there first, don’t be shy about telling them you’re there for the McCovey Chronicles event and taking over the spot so we don’t lose it.

As a longtime Mcc lurker
I just gotta say I’d love to attend a meetup of Mccoven folks and it’s on the to do list. Being in Nebraska makes it tough though. But I am geeked as hell to actually be going to all 3 of the games at Coors this weekend! ’ Taking my son to see the most meaningful Gigantes games we’ve ever seen. An hour outside of Denver right now. Any suggestions on how to keep Dinger away from the backstop in the 9th?

Sadly, I don’t think we’ll make it… if we do we’ll be arriving late and leaving early.

The Mrs’ Lyme is acting up… she’s very low on energy. She says to send her regrets.

I was just kidding, you know that right?
Hope she’s feeling better. Bummer to be feeling lousy on your anniversary.
