LL Sport Gathering Circa Thanksgiving

So, football? Or something (hockey!!) ?

Friday after turkey day? Saturday? Sunday (booo) ?

We need votes on both issues so... um... yeah. Have at it.

I can not imagine any situation where Friday works for me.

Saturday might be swingable depending on how late in the day in day it is. Regardless I am up for some Saturday night drinking. Heavily if possible.

Football

Friday or Saturday. I want to drink when I’m done, and I’ll be sore the next day, so Sunday does me no good.

Black Friday

Cause once you go black you can never stop Matthew in football… or something

Football, any of the days. I'm in.

For those that are 21+

myself, my lovely wife, and a few other friends are going to the Supersuckers/Green River show Saturday night the 29th. There will be much drinking. Said drinking will probably commence at the Lava Lounge, move to the Nitelite, then on to the Showbox. If anybody wants to join, awesome; if not, and if our weekends were to coincidentally intersect anyway, so much the better.

uhhhhhhh showtime?

I think it’s a doors at 8 first band at 9 thing, at least according to the showbox website. First band being Zeke, we’ll probably show up at the showbox around 9.30 – I’ve seen Zeke before, they’re fine but having seen them a few times I’m in no great hurry to see them again.

speaking of showtime

how was the Sonics? I heard from another friend that was there that Little Steven showed up and played with them. Envy is a reasonably sufficient word for what i was feeling as I kept getting photos texted to me Saturday night.

They were pretty effing awesome.

I sense you have yet to see my Facebook missive on the subject.

All the stupid squares in my section sat down while GT were playing. That was annoying.

Just getting caught up with emails and the like, I'm tackling facebook here shortly

How anybody can sit down during Girl Trouble is beyond me. Did they hand out gifts, even though it was a Big Rock Show?

Yes and my streak of always getting a prize remains in tact.

Most of the people in my sections sat during the Sonics and shot daggers at my girlfriend and I for dancing.

I've only not gotten a prize about three times

glad to hear they still did that.

They had a LOT of prizes to give out.

God bless ‘em. To think that they recently played the China Clipper and Jules Mae’s….

One of their best shows, but maybe that’s just because I was sort of giddy.

So what you're saying is that you are, in this instance, choosing not to ride with Zeke?

Even though the future is uncertain and bleak? You would knowingly turn down the opportunity to get it on, get up, take the beat by riding with Zeke?

J.K.L.

I like Zeke

T-500!

Donny’s wife cuts my hair, at the barbershop under Rontrose Heathman’s coffee shop. I think the Zeke/Supersuckers Tacoma combo-pack thing is pretty cool.

by marc w on Nov 4, 2008 1:38 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I have nothing against Zeke as such

it’s more that I’ve seen them enough times that if I miss a few minutes/half/all of their set it won’t kill me. Where is Rontrose’s coffee shop?

Across the street from Wright Park, on Division and I st..

Only place in T-town that serves stumptown, which might be attractive to me if I liked coffee.
It’s a great place, and the barbershop is great. And it’s 2 blocks to the Parkway, one of T-town’s great neighborhood bars. I can’t think of a situation in which you might go to Tacoma and not Seattle, but if you do….

by marc w on Nov 4, 2008 3:11 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I might be inclined to join in.

I will be up in Seattle the entire week.

God I wish

but I really do need to visit family that weekend.

I think I might like to take part in this, get blind drunk, and spoon royalcurve awkwardly in public view.

This has been a dream of mine for some time now.

Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

Football Friday or Saturday

I’ll be on a plane on Sunday. I’d be willing to give hockey a try if only for the entertainment value.

by ningwers on Nov 4, 2008 6:04 AM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I refuse to skate

but I’d be willing to play hockey if everyone else is down. Hockey was the only sport I was naturally good at as a kid, and I’m excited to see how much I’ve regressed since I was 12.

by katal on Nov 4, 2008 6:53 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

If you refuse to skate

won’t that make playing hockey a little challenging?

I'm trying :(

I was even mildly upset with losing the shootout against TB

Pffft whatever,

we finally have solved our defensive issues!! DREW FATA what what.

by Matthew on Nov 4, 2008 10:20 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Probably

Not that it matters. Anyone who’s played any NHL09 understands that we only have three people capable of scoring a goal anyway.

Would you stop with the contradictions

Besides

it’s not really a contradiction because noting the high cost does not necessarily negate my initial willingness to play. I was just trying to be informative :P

by ningwers on Nov 4, 2008 8:37 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

YES!!

Hmm… The Sens do play the Islanders on Saturday night. Up for watching the game at a bar?

by ningwers on Nov 4, 2008 8:40 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I give up.

I know I’m just going wherever this blog tells me, anyway.

After they rec’d it

by Robert on Nov 4, 2008 8:46 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think I'm only seeing about 6 yes votes to even play

WTF? We’ve got to get at least 10 people to run any of Brett’s trick plays.

I do know of a woman that’s interested if there’s another woman to play opposite of (Nola?)

by johnbai on Nov 4, 2008 9:36 AM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Treat it like a 10 year high school reunion.

Casual drinks at a bar on Friday night.

Football and more drinks on Saturday.

Bloody Mary’s and general frivolity on Sunday.

by Sec 108 on Nov 4, 2008 9:47 AM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

So you and Matthew could play 1 on 1?

While everyone else is exhausted? You’ve got to remember, most of us suck at athletic things. The thing about football is there’s breaks between plays

I run the stats for traditional football at Willamette

and I still don’t see the game well from field level. I’m a little excited when I can tell where the ball is going to go.

Decisions Made:

-Beer will be involved on Saturday night
-As will the Senators game if it’s on Center Ice
-There might be a sporting gathering on Sunday as well as on Friday/Saturday

by Matthew on Nov 4, 2008 11:51 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm up for Saturday or Sunday. No playing football or hockey or whatever though

One of my ankles is hobbled. I can videograph and run the snack stand.
