For the last couple of years I've tried to get a group together to go to a Giants game for my birthday. Based on previous years, if we can get 20 or so people together, we can get a group rate.

The closest game to my birthday is July 1st, a 1305 start against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

So, let's start getting organized!

Aren't the Arizona Cardinals their football team? I suspect you either mean the Arizona Diamondbacks or the St Louis Cardinals

My error, brain still in football mode. It's the D'backs. Fixed.

Some year, you and I need to go to the baseball

That's the Sunday of Westercon this year. It's not too difficult to walk from the site of Westercon to the Caltrain station, and as I'm sure you're aware, taking Caltrain to the game is a great option. So possibly you should post something in [livejournal.com profile] westercons about this idea and see if you can get people interested.

If you really are interested in trying to rope people in through Westercon, let me know and I can probably get something into the progress reports.

I went to a Giants-Padres game during last year's Westercon, but alas, a lot fewer people went than I had hoped would go, and the chairman ended up paying for the unsold tickets out of his own pocket.

Alas, I cannot go -- that game will be starting around the time that Business Meeting is ending, and I'm Secretary. I would have to leave for the game around the time it was starting in order to attend.

Move the meeting to AT&T Park!

Hey, if I could, I would. A few years ago, I got to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the park aimed at meeting planners. One of the smaller luxury boxes (out near the left field foul pole) can be rented. It's not even impossibly expensive, just very pricey. They also have some conference rooms in the building that can be used.

Wish I could come, but I'll be at WesterCon. *sigh*

If you do this, let me know where to come for dinner/drinks before/after. I would be very bad company at a game, because I am really not lying when I say that baseball bores me to tears (when forced to go as a kid, I took a notebook and wrote Star Trek fic notes and notes for my Trav games) but I would like to see you if you are in town on your b-day.

It would be nice to meet another local LJ friend in person, and I never get to the games when I want to. I'm in!

In my experience, the N line becomes a zoo crossed with a Tokyo subway during rush hour.

How about the evening of Friday, June 29 (7:15 PM) instead? It's vaguely possible we may be able to get enough people (25) between you and BASFA and people coming in early for Westercon to go a group purchase, if we start plugging it now. I can put something into Westercon PR 2 if you're interested.
