World Series Party - You're Invited

Okay.
I am having a party at my house on Thursday. We will watch Game 2 of the World Series and eat a shit ton of food, including the soft pretzels I owe all of you and Off Topic ice cream cones (Fruity Pebbles flavor).
I live in the Mt Baker neighborhood in Seattle, accessible by bus routes 14, 7 and 8.
Game starts at 5pm, I realize a lot of you will still be at work - we could start it late if you guys want, but that seems unlikely to get many votes.
Email me for directions and details, guys. And don't be shy about bringing something to drink - I don't want to buy a billion dollars worth of booze. Pony up!
Try and get there as early as you can before the Rays cake gets demolished. Also, the weak and drunk can expect to have yourself photographed under a giant "SORRY NOLA" sign.

Apparently thats a must with these people.

What? Totally random! You're killing me today, that's some funny shit.
"Sorry I hit you in the helmet Hank, I meant to hit you in the neck." Stan Williams to Hank Aaron.
Honestly im just hopped up on Mountain Dew right now.
In seriousness I wish I could come to one of these and meet the people on here, but im in Maryland so its a no go for now.
I now envy you.
Holy crap thats alot of God’s sweet nectar. There are still some in the bottles! If you wont finish them, send them here!
Im not sure I could beat you, much less to do with my drinking so much soda than to do with my weird spasming after every gulp.
Those pretzels just sound amazing =(
I hope that there will be about twenty laptops at your place so I’m not alone in the gamethread!
I would very much love to, but might have to settle for stopping by after work
Although work ends at 9 so that’s probably not an option. My only hope is that my work schedule may change, which would allow me to be there on time. Stay tuned for further details
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
Making it up on time would require me to skip a class, a bowling night, and take another 4-hour drive
by my lonesome. Now, if I had company I might eschew the other two to make it happen, but by God I am tired of solo drives up and down I-5. Apologies.

Take a solo drive halfway across the country and I'd accompany you back.
Hey, at least it would be different scenery.

Honestly,
I think Slica wins this one. He needs to be saved WAY more than we do, I mean, he is in Maryland. Good God.
Yes, awkward...
…Im a guy who blasted Nick Drake when I went out Saturday night. Clearly im vicious.
When I went to visit Seattle I got picked up by a hot chick I never met in person…and that worked out fine. Just dont play country music. PLEASE.
I can do without country music, so we'd be cool.

I agree.
I work in downtown Newark, and can’t leave anything in my car because the windows get broken out at least 3 times a year. They took my sunshade once. A SUNSHADE!

When my vehicle was broken into a month ago...
They ripped out my ashtray (i dont smoke so I use it for loose change in case I need it)…took the money and threw my ashtray on the ground.
I also was recently robbed by the gas man. Broke into the kitchen window after standing on a brick…unlocked the back door and walked out. Stole about 70 bucks (which is a million to me). I was asleep at the time, and it was in the morning after daylight came.
Changed gas companies.
A neighbor saw a vehicle of the company we ditched parked outside the house around the time of the robbery.
If you can make it through the small town I grew up to get to me...
…without getting your vehicle broken into (mine was a month ago) or your headlight busted out while you have it parked for no more than an hour (mine was a few months ago)…you’ll be fine.
Maryland sucks for sure, but my area is pretty dangerous. Outside the ghetto is country and obnoxious hicks…but inside…yeah, pick your poison (I MUCH rather get jumped by a guy with a knife than a guy with a hard on)
Near Delaware...
If you look on the map, look at the bottom left corner of Delaware…im on the Maryland side of it.
Nowhere near a city.
I highly dont recommend it.
The town im from, Federalsburg…cant have more than 3500 people in it. Its basically a ghetto surrounded by country. Very dangerous, and was for awhile the second drug-happy town in Maryland, beating out Baltimore and only trailing Salisbury.
Had a substitute teacher who often came in for high school…ex-cop who openly smoked weed in the school bathroom. Wild stuff.
Thanks for the invite. The girl and I would love to come, but we already have tickets to the Notwist at Neumo's.

I'd love to go ant meet more of you, but I've got other engagements that night.

You people are seriously shooting yourselves in the proverbial foot.

Hey, The Wife says yes beeeyotch! So suck it nerd, I'm there! (Around 6:30-ish, I have chores).
And I have to be home kinda early.
Also, not so much on the drinking.
And, stop at the store on the way home to pick up some things.
Have a blast folks!
Band practice and commute distance (accompanied by a day job) preclude me from attending. Still trying to figure out when we can schedule our housewarming party…

I was supposed to entertain a client Thursday night
However, he may bail. If he does I am there, hopefully with my better half in tow.
Hell yeah
Since bus routes scare me
When I rode a bus from Seatac into downtown Seattle I just got off when the person next to me got off because I had no idea where I was going
I was left to roam around Seattle for 5 hours with no destination
This things shouldn’t happen
I would find it even funnier if Seattle were huge and/or dangerous in any way

There are areas south of downtown that I don't feel exactly at ease being in.

by Aaron Campeau on Oct 22, 2008 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions
I feel very at ease in the south end. Obviously. I find the residents soft and cuddly.
Except for the random shootings.
I like the south end and my girlfriend and I are actually looking to move that way. North Seattle is played.
I’m talking more about the weird hinterlands between SoDo and the ID. And if I’m anywhere near Pioneer Square at night I’m convinced I’m going to get jumped by rowdy mid-20s Belvedere and body spray types.

Pioneer Square at night terrifies me.
I once had to sleep for 2 hours on Market Street in San Francisco in the middle of the night, on the sidewalk. And that didn’t scare me like Pioneer Square can.
I ran a record store on Market that closed at midnight on weekends.
It was always a mad dash to the last BART of the evening (I lived in Oakland). Sometimes I missed it and had to walk to the transbay terminal about 1/2 mile away to wait for the 1:30am drunk bus.
One time I closed the store and missed BART, then there was a pileup on the Bay Bridge so the buses weren’t running. I didn’t have a cell phone back then and would have gotten in trouble for going back in the store without a security guard (you weren’t allowed to be in the store alone, an internal theft thing). Also I was broke. Since I had to be back at 7 the next morning I just slept outside the store in a little doorway. It was smelly.
He also can't tell the difference between piers, so don't feel too sad.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Oct 23, 2008 7:11 AM PDT up reply actions
Jesus we've been over this
I was at the pier early but wanted to sit down and didn’t see any benches so I wandered down to the next pier. I knew where the piers were because two days before I wandered around Seattle for five hours
You just keep telling yourself this.

You know if I wasn't on my two week work schedule right now, I totally would have flown down for this.
Fear the NPE
Also I just realized I'm going to be taking a biological basis of disease exam as this party starts
So I’m most definitely going to need that sorry NOLA sign.

So I'm picking Ess Jr up from daycare at 4PM, running an errand or two, then coming over.
Do you still want me there early to vacuum your house in my buttless chaps?

So...
If I show up to this thing with a case of Busch Light, will I get kicked out, or just ostracized. (I’m prepared for the second one).
I'd go with mocked rather than ostracized.

I can't speak for anyone else, of course
But if you like Busch, bring it! Shit, who am I to judge? Just a pretzel lady.
Sadly I can't come anyway
Working until 7:30sh and then going to see Apocalyptic at the Showbox.

Well, my client waited until the last minute to confirm.
I’ll have to get my hands on your cooking some other day.
How'd the party go everyone?
Man do I love midgets.
Considering it has two of the three sexy people, I'm a little afraid to post it.

ain’t no such thing as a nickel slot machine on the Strip any more, it seems. Gotta go to downtown Vegas for those.

I WAS doing nickel slots!
Buffet at the Wynn, then nickel slots at the Wynn for about a hour. I won $4.60. No cocktails yet – it’s naptime. This is the best bed I have ever laid butt on.
We always rent a car
but that’s because I have bowling tournaments at The Orleans, Texas Station, and Sam’s Town.

Ok, it turns out there are penny and nickel slots at the Venetian and Wynn. They're just tucked away.
I didn’t do too bad on the Bruce Lee machine.
