I will be there
I"ll be at my normal season ticket of View Reserved 315, Row 8. I’ll have my season ticket partner (and fellow McCoven nataku) with me.
We should all bring a couple of old belts that we no longer use and give them away at the park with a huge sign that says FREE BELT

Natto/Jponry, j14, The Mayor and 49er16 will be sitting in my seats.
The thong is, it happened.
Seat still up for grabs!

I'd love that ticket
But I think it’s bad form to ditch my family. I believe we’ll be in the left field bleachers – forget what section exactly.
I will, however, be at Zeke’s around 5. See you beautiful miscreants there.

Are you driving to the game?
Because I have a parking pass if you want to come get it from me sometime today.
I'll be walkin' from my office, but shoot Grant an email
I’m guessing he’s driving. If he wants it and needs me to pick it up for him, let me know.

A few years ago, we won a trip off of KNBR for an all expense paid trip to NYC to see a Giants game at Shea Stadium. It was pretty cool, except they stuck us in the nosebleed section, and the game went into extra innings in the rain. Then we got lost on the subway and found ourselves in Harlem after midnight. But the Giants won! :)
I won tickets to see The Who from KNBR
Murph & Mac had three different callers do their best Roger Daltrey imitation and picked the best one. Surprisingly it was me.

Priority will be given to how quickly you claim it, how much of a “regular” you are and whether you’ve ever won (or been nominated for) a McC Annual Award (so state your case.)
In other words…NO NOOBS! We’re playing favorites!
J/K. :)
I will be there, but I’ll be in my seats, safely under the overhang so I don’t get caught on camera when Goofus starts dancing.
On that note…I might have two seats available (waiting to hear back from someone). And yes, I’d definitely play favorites. You are all behind Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson and Robin Williams in the priority queue!
Most of you are ahead of Taylor Swift, though. Probably.

Zack Wheeler was giving him crap about it last night, and Heath was like, “I’m just interacting more like you told me to!” He maybe should just @ reply people instead of quoting their tweets, because then everyone who follows him wouldn’t have to read all of it.

You might try down Townsend on the N side of the Caltrain station. Be careful of the signage, I forget when the 2 hour limit ends but IIRC it’s 5 PM. The missus usually is able to find something but sometimes it’s all the way down to Showplace Square which is quite a hike.

It’s a couple of blocks from Zeke’s, and should be $15 for the night. Not too bad for an easy to get into/out of lot.

Stupid appendix went on the fritz at the All Star game. Ironically I am waiting for all the organs near/around it to ahem “calm down” before any surgery. Been too active the last few weeks, guess the reasoning is if G_H_W calms down, so will my guts. ;-)
Certainly have one for me, I’ll be there in spirit! In fact, I’ll go ahead & claim fault for the first spilled beverage.
