The reunion is pretty pointless though, since I basically hang out with my high school friends all the time anyway, but perhaps I can at least get some closure on an old unrequited crush or two.

The Twins had one of those early morning games before a Goofer football game. We met up at Hubert's and had a little breakfast before the game. Last year was the first picnic, but second convention.

You can bring little kids, stop by and say hi, have a little something to eat, and then go off and have fun with the kids. That's what's so great about this location.

With kids ages six, three and one, as well as the requisite gear, the UW fam doesn't do reserved seating very well. I think we will attend the convention and then ruin the enjoyment of the game for the folks up in GA. Or, more likely, we'll just blend right in. That's a banner idea.

I might be able to make it, but I'm not sure yet. One thing to keep in mind is that the Seattle Sounders are playing a 6pm game next door at Qwest (which, honestly, may outdraw the Mariners game that evening) so traffic and parking in the stadium area is going to be a total mess. I kind of wonder if one game or the other will have its time changed. I put it on my calendar. I might be able to make it, but I'm not sure yet.
