Anybody want to go to FanFest?

[gridlore]

The Giants will be holding their Winter FanFest on Saturday, January 20th, 1100-1600.

Any fellow Giants fans want to meet up and spend the day celebrating the imminent return of baseball?

I would, but I'm going to Oregon that weekend. Sorry!

While I won't (and can't) attend Winter FanFest (it's toowayfaraway for a team that isn't my own), I will try to attend at least one Giants Cactus League game (according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_training), the D-Backs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Diamondbacks), White Sox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_White_Sox) and Rockies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Rockies) all play spring ball in Tucson, so the Giants ought to visit at least one of those teams at a time I can see them). I'll even root for the Giants on your behalf; my beloved Redbirds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Cardinals) play in the Grapefruit League, so there's no conflict-of-interest involved.

Any autographs you want me to try to get?

Looking at the Giants' spring training schedule (http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=sf&m=3&y=2007), the Giants play the Rockies in Tucson on Saturday, 17 March 2007.

I believe I'm going to be there as we're having a blood drive that day and I've requested to help work it. Come say hi!

Do y'all take blood from people who have had cancer/chemotherapy?

[blueashke.livejournal.com]

depends on the type of cancer, but in general, yes, as long as they've been declared cancer free for at least a year - barring lymphoma, leukemia, and a few others.

That leaves me out then. Stage IV-B Hodgkin's Disease. :(

:hugs: bummer hon.

Oh, btw. I just found out that we'll be doing a blood drive at WonderCon on March 3. Is that one of the cons you guys go to? (says the girl who knows very little of cons except Xena cons.)

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Probably not. Because of the convergence of BayCon's 25th Anniversary and Traveller's 30th we're heavily involved (emotionally and financially)in getting ready for that event.

ah, okay. Thought I'd check.
