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.

AMEN.

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.

by acblue on Nov 3, 2008 10:02 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by marc w on Nov 4, 2008 1:36 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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?

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 up reply 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 up reply 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.

by BrianL on Nov 3, 2008 9:44 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

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 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 up reply actions   0 recs

If you refuse to skate

won’t that make playing hockey a little challenging?

Pffft whatever,

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

by Matthew on Nov 4, 2008 10:20 AM PST up reply 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.

by Jeff on Nov 4, 2008 10:32 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

This probably is a good time to mention that hockey would be much more expensive than football.

Unless of course someone has some mad rink and equipment rental hook-ups.

Would you stop with the contradictions
I’d be willing to give hockey a try if only for the entertainment value.

by NOLAmarinergirl on Nov 4, 2008 8:32 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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 up reply 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 up reply 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 up reply 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 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 actions   0 recs

Somehow I feel you are referring to soccer

with makes your statement retarded

by JI on Nov 4, 2008 10:59 AM PST up reply 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.

by Two Rs and Two Ls on Nov 4, 2008 11:31 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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 up reply 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.

by Smith18 on Nov 5, 2008 7:59 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

and i think i posted that in the wrong place...

Anyway, as I know my schedule is clear except Thanksgiving Day (dont have work schedule for that week yet)

by Smith18 on Nov 5, 2008 8:01 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

In.

Someone pick a time and place that’s not Thanksgiving day itself and I’ll be there.

by Omerta on Nov 5, 2008 6:41 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Yeah... I think it might be time to do that

Maybe there’s call for two different events… Friday Football and one of the weekend days for drinking and watching hockey or something?

by johnbai on Nov 6, 2008 12:17 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

So let's actually get a consensus and plan.

hear hear

It seems like a lot of people want to do something as a group on Saturday, and then play football on Sunday. How does that sound?

by katal on Nov 11, 2008 8:04 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I told you, you can borrow my pom poms.

I am up for drinking Saturday night and making snacks for Sunday. No can do on actual playing football, as I have an easily re-injured ankle. Just tell me where and when.

by royalcurve on Nov 11, 2008 11:00 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Sunday football sounds great

Where and when? Preferably I get to sleep in/sleep off Saturday night…

You wrote "There might be a sporting gathering on Sunday as well as on Friday/Saturday"

Now it’s time to decide which day(s). Do all of them work for you?

by katal on Nov 12, 2008 5:46 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I don't even know if any of the days work for me it

I’m just saying the discussion really just needs to be about Friday vs Saturday (sat seems better for most) and what.

by Matthew on Nov 12, 2008 9:46 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

New thread?

This one is starting to take forever to load.

by johnbai on Nov 12, 2008 9:47 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

New thread sounds good

For whoever wants to put it together. I’m too worn out from work today. =/

Friday or Saturday are perfect for football. I just want to know what day asap so I can make other plans for the weekend.

by katal on Nov 12, 2008 6:27 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Okay, I'm out.

I get in too late Saturday to do anything. Have fun!
