hello all, the internet being the internet, it looks as tho the quote that was received off of orbitz.com of $230/person is no longer available. the cheapest i've seen off of 3 different sites is $400/person. that means we need to raise $800 total. now, we've had a few more contributors, but we are still short, so we still need your support. remember, charitable contributions are tax deductible. $5 or $10 helps, you don't all need to go $25-$50, so any help you can provide would be awesome. here's where we stand so far: battch $50 LDB $50 club quake $100 ruby223 $25 IBT $25 ross f/ st. paul $30 ken olofsen $50 chris reese $50 scotto $40 keepit0 $40 don gagliardi $100 total: $560! only $260 to go!!! cheers, battch GO QUAKES!!!
Battch, I sent you an e-mail and a PM with my phone number to call me. I've got an option for getting cheap/free tickets for Tasha and her guest. - Scott
I'll see my $50 and raise it $10.....i'm in for $60. Remember people, this girl's wish was to see Landon AND the Quakes IN San Jose. She could have seen him in KC, alot closer to her home but she chose to come here to see them. I thought that was pretty cool. Maybe you guys could invite her to the tailgate? Stand in the Casbah? Bang a drum? Might be a great game for a new fan, there could be alot on the line that day.
AAAAHHHH!!!!! ...sorry, i just thought maybe i could scare the hiccup out of us.... count the minnesota brigade in for upping to $50 if need be. [living in MN, i know what scumbags airlines are (this is northwest's main hub); i'll be cold dead in the ground before i let THEM have the last laugh.] battch, please keep us updated. rfsp quakes and QPR...'n' bring on the tasha karma! (after studying the astrological charts, i know that landon will score the winner v the galactoscum, and present the game ball to tasha....it's gonna be COOL!!!)
don't feel badly!!! we "geographically challenged" quakes fans do whatever we can!! your good thoughts are props enough. this is just too cool...it's no wonder why i love the quakes (AND their fans!) so much. hope it all works out... rfsp quakes and QPR ===== "we'll never be beyond that stage." - from "fever pitch"
No worries with having no cash. Although if you have some friends that you could coerce... They'll need transportation as well when they are here. Along with my $40, I'll take care of that. You know, I'm thinking The Casbah section may be better than the midfield stripe. Any thoughts?
Which game do you want her to attend? If you want her to come to the LA game on the 21st, then you should set up a booth at the game on the 7th. It is just an idea.
I am a poor college student...so I can't contribute much....but I can squeeze a mesely 10 bucks from my checking account, I think. I'll get it sent out asap.... Also, I know you have connections with the Quakes office and such, but I am friends with a lot fo the players...maybe I can help in some way of that sort? I can surely ask one of them to bring her a ball out at half time...they are always willing to do that for me...

You are a college student now girl......it's about time you learned to spell the word "course" the right way for the right context. "Coarse" is like......rough or abrasive. Personally, I have no idea why "course" is used in the phrase "of course" so someone else will have to help you there. PS- $10 from someone who doesn't have much $ to give.....awesome!
Put me down for $50.00. Can this money be dropped off at the Quakes office? I really hate going to the post office.
Maybe, we should overshoot that goal by another $25 or $50, so we can send her home with a nice Quakes scarf or jersey.
Hmm. A ball would be cool. Would it be possible to get a few signatures on an invite we could send her? (A card with players inviting her to the game?) That would be cool.
I imagine she got a ball from Landon already, she did hang at practice with the Quakes from what I read. The invitation card sounds nice.
The guys come out with balls at half time, so she would have to come and stand by me at half time....and I can pre-arrange this. Also, if she stays after the game, she can get all the players to sign it for her. (they are the blue and white balls that the players throw out at half time). Also, I LOVE the invitation idea!! E-mail me so we can get the details straightened out. But I could DEFINATELY get all the players to sign it. That would be NO problem at all. As long as I start the game on the 7th, I don't see why I cant get all of them. And even if I miss a couple, it should be good enough, don't you think? Anywho, e-mail me, and I'd be more han hapy to help you out... lp_linds333_qaksfan@yahoo.com Linds
