Okay... last minute update. My friend is definitely NOT going on the trip, which sucks. What sucks even more is that I may not be able to go. Just got some bills, and after paying rent last week, I may not be able to afford this trip either. I've got to run some numbers and figure out what kind of money I've got available for bills and then see what I've got left over for the trip. It may come down to making this trip, or making to MLS Cup in a month. And if that's the case, I'm going to have to pass on this weekend and go with the Cup.
Haha... Did that for the Columbus trip. It was an early birthday present. It's actually not looking very good right now at all for my odds to make the trip this weekend. my money supply is much lower than I expected. And I don't get another paycheck from coaching for another month. I'll know by the end of the night tonight whether or not I can afford the trip. Gotta see if I can get a little bit of a loan from the 'rents.
Dude, it's $100......you can swing that, just dial-back you drinking a bit and you've got it covered!!!
There will be plenty of beer to go around so that should be the least of your worries. Just get there becuase it could be the last time you get to watch the boys in blue.
No clue. I'll send a message to Curt and try to get it down there. thanks for thinking of that, it never crossed my mind.
$100 bucks to us working folks sometimes doesn't seem like a whole lot, but to a college kid it often is. That said, Chad you'd better get your biatch ass down there. I've been on too many road trips with you to have you not be there for what could be our last one ever.
Congregate at the Irish Rover Friday night once you're in town and checked in. Most everyone has each other's cell numbers. Shook and Robert, please PM me your cell numbers.
Hey guys. I hope you all have a safe trip down. Look forward to having you visit our new stadium. I was one of the few that drove up to KC earlier this year. If your interested (I'd be surprised if you were), but you could probably do some recon on some of our soccer players for the big match Saturday at noon. We have a coed game on one of the PHP side fields. It'll be on #17, one of the Northernmost fields. I believe it's the one on the northwest corner, but I'm not positive. We'll be wearing red Lotto jerseys with a stupid thin white stripe across the chest, and kicking some major butt I might add. Game starts at 7:30 and afterwards we usually head over to the Rover, so if we don't see you at the game, we'll see you at the Rover.
Chad - I wouldn't worry about paying for beer. You need to go on this trip I can get you some money if you need some. No big deal. All friends here and what's a friend if he/she doesn't help out once in a while.
Yes, I did. There were 5 of us. You guys kindly offered us brats (hit the spot). I also went to SLC for the Costa Rica doubleheader and talked to a few of you at that tailgate. Not the one with the horns though I'm wearing the ski cap and holding the beer. I also played one of the big drums. What a great birthday that was!!!
Seriously Chad....to echo several prior comments I am sure we, as a group, can come together to assist one of our own in their of need!
FYI If anyone has a vehicle that is "too full" my van only has 4 in it now since Alan (KCBearcat) is driving. So, i am able to take maybe one more comfortably - 2 more max.
Maybe you can bring the drum....if someone is able to get it by tomorrow morning. btw, I left Ryan a voice-mail just now to see about getting the drum. I'll let you know what he says. edit: I talked to Ryan and the drum is at the stadium and available for us to take. We just need someone to swing by and get it.
Just talked with Kuhnscoot and looks like we'll be taking the drum down. It'll be in the van when I pick up mike tomorrow.
Fantastic. Chris offered to play the drum the whole way to Dallas... be sure to wave to him on your way down... he'll be there by December.
It is official, I am not going to be able to make the trip this weekend. Sincere thanks to all the folks who offered to help me pay for it... but I just really can't afford to go. Here's to hoping that the Wizards make the playoffs, and I'll see you all next week.
ROTFLMAO And I'm sorry you won't be coming Chad, we'll miss you. I mean who is Emily and I gonna hang out with now?
