Convention Dry Run
Posted by SBG on Sunday, June 1st, 2008 at 11:07 am
On Saturday, we had a little dry run for the SBG Convention. Banjo hosted E-6 and I for a little barbeque and Twayn met us at the Yankees game. I learned a little bit about the logistics of what it takes for the Convention.
Lucy, BabySBG and I arrived at Banjo's place about 3:30. I figured that a couple of hours would be enough time to enjoy a barbeque and get to the game. Wrong. We had a couple of brews, chatted for a while and then Banjo fired up the grill and made some great kabobs. We're sitting around, visiting and my cell phone rings. It's Twayn, wondering where we are at. Oh, crap! The game was starting in 15 minutes and we're still eating. So, we scramble to get to the dome in the duct-tape-mobile. By the time we get there, it's raining, the game is in the bottom of the first. Never fear, though, the game went 12 innings, so we saw plenty of baseball. I don't normally boo, but the Yankees were playing so slow that I couldn't take it. I mean, have these guys never played before? Do they really need to have 10 conferences on the mound every inning? It was freaking ridiculous.
Anyway, the second annual SBG Convention is Saturday June 21. I'm thinking about 2:00 or so we'll start. I'm not sure where yet, but the key is going to be to get together and visit. I've always had a good time visiting with Citizens. I'll be bringing Lucy and the always charming BabySBG (actually, Lucy is always charming, too). We want to have the barbeque at a park. I'm going to bring my glove so we can at least play catch. Bring the wife and kids, if you've got them.
The game is against the AZ Diamondbacks. They are a good team. We'll be sitting in upper deck reserved. The tickets are $20 a piece. I'm going to buy the tickets about ten days or so before the convention. So, please let me know how many tickets you need. As far as the bar-b-que is concerned, I think $5 a person/$7 a family would be good. I'll kick in the difference. We'll have something relatively easy to make and I'll bring softdrinks on ice. If you want something more adult to drink, you'll have to bring your own. If you want to just go to the game, that's fine. If you just want to go to the picnic, that's fine, too. I hope you can make it. Please e-mail me at sbg at stickandballguy dot com to reserve your spot.
Andrew and Banjo have expressed interest in helping out. I'm hoping we'll have a big turnout. Come and be a part of the Convention!

I think Brautwurst would be a good call. I could actually boil them in beer and and onions, grill them ahead of time then transport them to the picnic in an insulated container to keep 'em hot. I could use my Sam's membership to buy 'em in bulk.
Yep. Plus, we can buy some sides. I'm pretty sure no one can eat anywhere for $5 or $7 for a family.
Count me in. (1 person for game and picnic. No wife, and I don't have any children that I know about.
) Let me know where to send the check.
Stellar!! Looking forward to meeting you..
I'm looking forward to meeting you, too. And your grilled food.
Hey, sounds like fun. I've already actually got tickets courtesy of a buddy, we're reportedly in section 100. I'll see if he's up for SBGCON beforehand.
Sheenie, Sheenie's sister, and I will all be there. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to sell one of my brothers on coming, too.
OK, me and my buddy are in. He's in the Neshek/Fielder school, so we'll bring some tofu dogs for the grill.
I'm in. SBG, be in touch with what you need help with.
