CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Kong76 Jul 04 2010 09:52 AM

... we've known that for years! metfairy has been kind enough to offer to get a block of tickets for the 8/26 game against the Florida Stinkyfish for a group meet up. Cutting and pasting from the 'going to the game' thread -- for $30 you get pre-game drinks, and appetizer, a game ticket, and a coupon for a post-game drink at the now infamous McFadden's at Shea Sponsored by Citi Field. Chime in here as soon as possible, I'm sure time is running out on the offer. If interested please give head count w/ # of people in your party, or PM either metfairy or myself.

themetfairy Jul 04 2010 10:02 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

And yes - I'd say let's try to get a head count by 7/12 so I can place an order and get a block of tickets for the game.

smg58 Jul 04 2010 11:56 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Two, please.

themetfairy Jul 04 2010 11:59 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Kase - 1 TMF & D-Dad - 2 Second Spitter - 1 SMG - 2 6 so far :)

Kong76 Jul 04 2010 03:01 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

You can change me to two, I'm sure KB will go ...

The Second Spitter Jul 04 2010 04:21 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

I will be most vexed if the following persons are not in attendance: 1. LWFS 2. G-Fafif 3. soupcan

I'm sure lots of things look like Schaefer votes to you. Are you coming?

TransMonk Jul 05 2010 07:13 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

I'm going to miss you guys by a day. I'm going to make it to one of these things eventually. If anyone is still around on Friday 8/27, let me know.

themetfairy Jul 05 2010 07:59 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

OK - here's the deal. I just played around on the McFadden's site. Ten seems to be the maximum number of tickets that one can purchase for this event, so I just went ahead and bought ten. It came to $320 with processing costs, so anyone who is going owes me $32 per ticket. I have two more tickets in my block; if the number of participants exceeds ten, then someone else will need to purchase the next block of tickets.

dgwphotography Jul 05 2010 08:01 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

You can count me as 1...

themetfairy Jul 05 2010 08:02 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

And we have nine :) Kase - 2 TMF & D-Dad - 2 Second Spitter - 1 SMG - 2 G-Fafif - 1 dgwphotography - 1

Kong76 Jul 05 2010 11:07 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

I just realized I have committing to buying the third point in a ticket Bermuda Triangle for 8/26. I knew I had the game in my Sun plan (throw-in weekday games suck) but I also have two in Sec 138 that day.

themetfairy Jul 05 2010 12:43 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

How do you want to handle it Kase? Do you want to keep your Coop seats and just hope that we're sitting near ya? Or would you rather sell those and sit closer to us?

Kong76 Jul 05 2010 12:48 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Do they give a hint what section the McF's seats are in?

themetfairy Jul 05 2010 12:56 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

According to Coop they're not far from where you'll be, but they won't guarantee anything in advance.

Kong76 Jul 05 2010 01:07 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Thanks, I'll keep my 138 seats then. This way I only have to sell the 430's ... sorry for the mix-up.

themetfairy Jul 05 2010 01:42 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

No problemo OK - so we have seven seats claimed - TMF & D-Dad - 2 Second Spitter - 1 SMG - 2 G-Fafif - 1 dgwphotography - 1

Fman99 Jul 05 2010 09:02 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Sounds like fun but weeknights are a little too far afield for the Fman clan. Still scheming to get Fboy out to Citi Field for one more weekday matinee before the season ends.

Out, unfortunately. Family vacation that week.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 06 2010 10:02 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

I'm attending the day before and will be leaving for vacay later that week, looks tuff for me to commit to at this point.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 06 2010 10:22 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

No plans... that I can think of. Will have to check with LWBetterHalfer/CalendarKeeper to be absolutely certain, but we're a tentative two ( maybe two-and-a-half).

themetfairy Jul 06 2010 12:17 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

The half won't need a ticket. And presumably her beer consumption will be on the minimal side (this isn't Philly, you know). So we're back up to nine (unless LWFS tells me otherwise) - TMF & D-Dad - 2 Second Spitter - 1 SMG - 2 G-Fafif - 1 dgwphotography - 1 LWFS - 2

Ashie62 Jul 06 2010 12:48 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Available if needed, need a single? Ashie#1 cant go...but #62 can..Do not be afraid.

themetfairy Jul 06 2010 12:59 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

I won't be afraid. But at some point will be in need of a straight answer ;)

OK - at the moment we have ten. Here's the roster - TMF & D-Dad - 2 Second Spitter - 1 SMG - 2 G-Fafif - 1 dgwphotography - 1 LWFS - 2 Chad Ochoseis - 1 That doesn't mean that Ashie or anyone else can't join us by going to the McFadden's site and buying tickets separately. But this covers the block of ten tickets that I have pre-purchased. Unless someone drops out, my ten tickets are committed.

Ashie - Chad snuck in there with a defiant eff work before I saw your post. Considering how people's plans change around here though, shall I list you as #1 on the wait list? Or do you want to pick up a ticket separately?

Get a ticket Ash, or rally the second wave and get a group.

themetfairy Jul 08 2010 07:32 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

If Ashie wants to be #1 on the wait list, that works for me. Or if anyone wants to volunteer to get a second block of tickets, that works too.

The Second Spitter wrote: @tmf -- I'll asked my mate who'll be joining us on the 25th whether he's interested. That sounds good 3D. Let me know. We currently have 8, with two spots available - TMF & D-Dad - 2 Second Spitter - 1 G-Fafif - 1 dgwphotography - 1 LWFS - 2 Chad Ochoseis - 1 Since I haven't heard from Ashie, I'm assuming he's not interested. The next two people who affirmatively want in will be my 9 and 10. Which doesn't mean that people can't buy another block of tickets or separate tickets. This just relates to the 10 I've pre-purchased.

Ashie62 Jul 19 2010 06:58 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Kong76 Aug 18 2010 07:08 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Quickly revisiting since it's a week away ... If anyone would like to join me in the 138 seats, I have one free. KB is leaving me. Not literally, so don't start a memories of KB thread. I also have two seats in 430 that I've neglected to do something with. These can also be had for free with a visit to the outing at McFaddens. PM, call, or email me if anyone is interested. (Guinness gratuity for free tickets not required, but gladly accepted :-))

themetfairy Aug 22 2010 07:26 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday. Anyone who wants to meet up with us at McFadden's before the game who isn't on the list is welcome to, but is on his own for drinks.

Is there a designated time/meeting place for Thursday for those who've signed on to this sweet deal? I'm assuming the ticket (and concomitant exchange of funds) reveals itself at McF's.

Kong76 Aug 25 2010 06:57 PM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

I'll be at McF's by 5:45 or so I'm sure ... hard to pick a meeting point in there ... I just circle around looking for familiar faces ...

And if anyone wants to arrive before the drinks are free, The Second Spitter and I will be getting there between 5:00 and 5:15 and grabbing a pre-gathering dinner.

The Second Spitter and I will be getting there between 5:00 and 5:15 and grabbing a pre-gathering dinner. That's even better for me, I was going to woof something down in Manh but it's more relaxing to just get out there and I won't have to eat alone!

Chad Ochoseis Aug 26 2010 09:22 AM Re: CPF Outing ... no, not that ...

I'll probably be on the 4:46 train out of Penn Station, which will get me there just in time for dinner.
