Can someone please remind this old codger when we're getting together for both the away and home games?
Thanks!

We were gonna do a get together a couple of weeks ago, but I wound up being out of town and forgot that when I "planned" the date. Otherwise, planning on a tailgate at RFK on the 16th of Sept, I believe. Temps should be coming down a mite. Don't want Nospin & Thunder out in the oppressive July/August heat (although July was mostly a cakewalk-tempwise).

I picked the 16th since it may be hard to get seats together for the last RFK game on the 23rd. Does all that make sense? We can still plan a get together later this month during an away series, if y'all would like that.

OK, the 16th of September is now on my calendar. I'm also gonna try for the 23rd! And an away gettogether would be real nice if it can be done.

Sounds like a plan! We've got the 16th planned here. Will try for an away get together later this month.

We'll be there for the 23rd in Section 416...if no tailgate, then at the very least a "hi how yadoing"

I'll be there on the 23rd, too, in the outfield.

Edit: I meant in the outfield seats, of course, not actually playing in the outfield. I do not, sadly, possess a cannon or anything even slightly resembling one.

LOL, I could take this conversation into the Anacostia real fast, but I'll refrain from making the obvious analogies.

I too already have tickets for the 23rd. I'll have to check them later to see exactly where.

Heh, my brain must have been too fried last night for me to realize the potential implications of my edit...

If not then check out Section 313A Row 4 Seats 11-14. They are just under the overhang(doesn't obstruct your view).I've had season tickets right beside them & they have been used maybe 10 time in 2+ seasons.

We've had one organized tailgate party ever, earlier this season. Worked out well, so folks are in the mood for another one, last game at RFK looks like.

EDIT: Here's what the last one looked like:

We are a diverse group - diverse by age, race, ethnicity, national origin. You are correct in that there were not any other people around your age there, but I think you'd feel comfortable and welcome, after all, you're a Nats fan, right? And we have plenty of high school / college age people posting here, however some live out of the area and can't make tailgate parties. Next time....

Yes I am a Nationals fan...and there is no reason i'd feel uncomfortable around people older than me...afterall I am the YOUNGEST person where I work but i'll also talk to anyone so it would work out

Are you trying to tell me to try and talk to erica's sister? I'm only 18 man, no one in that picture looks in the 17-19 age group.

It's fine...I've got plenty of girls waiting to hang out together up at college.

Kim- Did we get enough folks who need tix that you are able to get them, or should we do it ourselves? If on our own, let me know where you all have seats so I can try to get em closeby.

Oh I forgot about that! I got caught up in Andrew's big thing the other day and then the start of school. Sorry, it left my radar screen. Oh, here's the blip - I see it coming now! I'll bump that thread and ask for firm count. Thanks for the nice reminder. You are such a sweetie!

She was the one taking the pic. Trust us, she's pretty!
