Just to get this away from the other thread, let's see those birds threads...

Saturday the 18th all should be in town for the upcoming monday night game of the birds V the vikes. Well the west coast crew at least...

I think we should have a get together in Philly. I will personally make sure that GJ and WM1865 are in town for the festivities. So come on you DC and NYC cats... NO politics will be discussed.

We will tear the town up for an evening of fun.

Dinner? Dancing? a few drinks from the well and tap at woodys? A solute to Willy P? Clang on the liberty bell? Cheesesteaks for all? Some good pizza for the east coast kids? A few E-A-G-L-E-S cheers?

I can make the following promises for the night..

-PF WILL freak JIP on the dance floor (likes it or not)
-Sting will shake his famous booty.
-PF WILL get GJ to rock the dance floor.
-MD and WM1865 will drink many beers.
-You will have fun, plus you have 2 months notice to make arrangements.
-I will scare my str8 buddy who is coming.
-None of us bite
-Sting and Scottie will be giving out kisses for 1 buck each, 2 bucks for the tongue.
-Scottie and Phillyrunner WILL be there too.
-We will figure out who MIB is.
-Lots of Cowpoke jokes.

Should I even mention that there are 2 tickets available for the game should anyone wish to scoop them up. Remember the KEY to any football game is the tailgate.

So come one come all, this is your chance to meet sting before he gets beat silly on monday night by some big guy from jersey.

I'm so there.

I figured I post a quick question, more to bump up the thread again.

Has a hotel/amtrak/us-scare discount code been set up yet for out of towners? One must plan ahead for such contingencies.

No.. geez... I stayed at some holiday inn downtown, it was pretty cheap, and not a bad place to stay... Scottie told me to stay there... go figure, scottie knows a cheat hotel in philly. Only difference is this one is by the night and not the hour...

I'm sure that you are more than welcome to stay in PhillyFan's room - he's only there from 2:15 a.m. (when the bars close) until 6:00 a.m. (when they open)

No special rates for hotels or airline (but remember Frontier and Southwest now fly into Phila. airport). Alexander Inn is a small gay, botique hotel, right near the gay bars and rooms start at $99/night. Holiday Inn Express, across the street from Woody's, is PhillyFan's hotel of choice. I'll see if I can come up with an Amtrak discount code for you.

I'm trying to work out plans to either fly in late Friday night or on Saturday. I'm up for anything as long as it includes drinking and dancing.

I'm sure everyone will dance...

JIP told me he was planning some sort of stripping routine... for good luck. OR was it to get lucky?

And MD, well he just said he is planning to get drunk.

with MD shouldn't it be "more drunk"?

Sting, that is a bit unfair. When MD gets back from Liquid Lunch-Pre-Happy hour... he's going to be upset... if he can read the screen. It's late in the day remember.

However, MD drinks Coors Lite. Usually about 15-20. So, it gives the impression that it's alot, but not really. I mean coors lite, come on. Even i can drink those and not get too hammered.

Does your room still have the vibrating bed? I'm not bunking with you PF unless I get all the top tier hotel perks! wink

You know Sting -- I used to like you

But I'm as sober as a Judge. Maybe I should change my screen name to SoberMIB.

MD, you'll like me again as soon as you see me in Sept. As for playing a judge, there's no need for that, you already play a doctor.

MD watch out, sting is just trying to get free drinks out of you. Remember they are expensive at the stadium.

Phillyrunner and I will be supplying the tailgates (we should plan on meeting in advance so we can park side by side). I'll supply the libations (although if William's going to be there I may not have enough beer). PF and Stinger -- what are you supplying?

Can I come?
I know I'll be shocked and amazed. I promise to drink enough to be interesting but not enough to make me vomit.

Fellas...

Why dont we just come up with a set amount. Everyone who goes to the tailgate.. it costs X amount. 20 each or something?

Just to be clear, i'm proposing a get together that saturday. The tailgate takes place Monday. Time is TBD.

Mr. Delaware County - only if you promise to also come to Gay Day at the Phillies with us!

Ted P. - excellent that you can join us -- I think we still have 2 tickets left.

Scottie will be at the tailgate party so you can get your gay day ticket(s) from him -- just make sure he doesn't tell you to come to his place to pick up the tickets eek!

I have a feeling that Sting is going to fall for the Scottie trick at least 3-4 times before he catches on.... Those LA folks arent known for being too bright.

Maybe I was thinking about Gay Days 2005.

Or perhaps as it was pointed out before... MD did, infact, have a liquid lunch today... and tomorrow.

What does this mean? I've heard the term but don't know what it means exactly. Is this something involving sex? I hope?...ooops, did I say that out loud? wink

So do we have this all straightened out for Ted P.? Gay day at the Phillies is Monday, 8/9 (go here if you want to be part of the Outsports group). Then this get-together Sat. 9/18 and the Monday Night Football game on 9/20.

OH JIP, You will find out what being FREAKED is. You just better hope a camera is not present.

That is also a Saturday, so all the little boys and girls from DC and NYC can get to town stay the night, have some fun... It is quite easy.

I'm working on a demand appearance list....

JIP, you will find out what getting freaked is by watching Kearse (aka the freak) this year. Getting freaked is a form of dancing, basically like Kearse getting a pass rush, looks a little like pattycake when he does it. Of course that's only when he's not injured and he's able to do it.

I'll let PF freak ya, but when you're ready to party with the big boys I'll teach ya how to get freak nasty! wink

Freak and Nasty... are 2 works typically displayed when hanging out with sting.

Well, I hope it is nothing like that spectacle of Warren Sapp doing the Beyonce bunny hop!

If PF "drops down and gets his Eagle on" like the women in Nelly's "Flap Ya Wings" video, then he will be VERY popular that Saturday night! eek!

Well no pictures will be taken on the 18th, so the only way to see it is to be there, or be square.

I heard the True American Patriot from DC is going to show everyone everything he can do while drinking a beer and smoking a cig.

Oh no PhillyFan!!! I'm so bringing the digital camera. We must share your Phreaky talents with all. :cool:

Also before I forget, if $1 gets me a kiss by Sting, and $2 gets me a good snog with scottie, what does $5 Canadian get me with you PF? eek!

wait wait wait, who said it's a $1 for a kiss from sting? it's a drink...at least.

From what I hear, It's usually free...

But remember, we need that money... beer is expensive in the stadium.

ummmmmm PhillyFan said that:

So PhillyFan, do I get a lap dance for my Canadian fiver?? eek!

Just keep feeding him beers and you'll get so much more than a lap dance.

Step Quietly there Mr JIP, PF will be in VACATION Mode....Remember you caught me post-game-post hangover day... We'll see if you can hang with the big boys from the west coast...

Dont make me say the bad word... after hours... do they have those in Philly? Never been out that late there...

JIP will party till the sun comes up...or till, wait nevermind...

Philly crew, I was telling a friend from Boston that I would be in Plilly for the game in Sept and he suggested that we (him and I) meet up in NYC because that was a midway point.

I know we have the party night set up for Sat nite, but I was thinking I could catch a train to NYC on Sunday and hang out with him for awhile and return either Sunday night or Monday morning.

My question is how much would a train ticket be? And, will we be having a full party weekend on Sunday that I wouldn't want to miss any of it to go hang with a friend in NYC for a while?

Cheapest roundtrip via Amtrak is $98.00 (unreserved coach). Taking the Metroliner or Acela Express will cost more but take less travel time (unless you're me, as proven a couple of weeks ago... :mad: )

If you take the local alternatives (SEPTA Regional Rail from center city Phila. to Trenton and NJ Transit from Trenton to NYC) it is much cheaper (not sure exactly, but it might be $7.00 each way on SEPTA and $13.00 each way on NJT, so a grand total in the vicinity of $40.00). The travel time will be a lot longer, though -- around 2 hours 20 minutes -- because both trains make a number of stops.

Just fly to Boston. Recently round trip between PHL and BOS was in the low 80's, I think it is higher now. A Sunday to Monday Trip might cost more since you don't have a Saturday evening stay but not always.

Just a thought since BOS to PHL airline tickets have been very inexpensive lately.

Thanks, I'll look into both. It looks like the earliest flight back from Boston to Philly would put me in Plilly at 3. Is that early enough to make it to the tailgate party? It should be since the game starts at 8 or 9 EST right?

What about the asian tour buses from Chinatown NYC to Chinatown Philly? I thought they were very inexpensive round trip.

you could hitch hike bubba.

Well I can't very well allow Stinger to be the only Vikes fan in attendance can I? If there is still a ticket available, I'll take one.

I think there were still 2 available...but they are not my tickets to give away. Jip, PF, and phillyrunner (i think) were the ones who got the tickets. BUT I THINK ANOTHER VIKES FAN WOULD ONLY BE FAIR AND WISE. j/k. Somebody had mentioned Cyd as another possibility as an attendee.

In the other thread Cyd expressed an interest. But there are two tickets left, so George has definitely got one as requested. WOO-HOO! If Cyd wants the other one, it's his -- if not, someone else can step up or it will be put up on eBay. (I'll make a note of this on the other thread as well.)

Someone has to claim that damn ticket then folks.

Ebay one of them, crap... i'm not good at that stuff... damnit.

I sent Cyd an e-mail to see if he wants it.

I thought your friend was going to do the eBay thing if needed.

Cyd can go on one condition: He leaves the stadium in one piece!

Does that include clothing? wink

George welcome back from your hiatus from the board. Hope you are doing well.
