Howdy, Y'all!

[RockieBill]

Just thought I'd do a little cross-posting and make sure everyone knew about the upcoming Rompin' Stompin' Texas Style Barn Dance and Bar-B-Q taking place in May.

Many Addict posters will be going to the 'Stros/Cards game in Houston on May 3rd, and a Round Rock/Omaha game in Round Rock on May 5th, and a Rangers/Yankees game in Arlington on May 6th or 7th. It will probably turn into a four-day party and we sure hope to meet up with all of you folks!

Read all about it <a href="http://www.addictsports.com/baseball/showthread.php?t=55296">Here!</a>

Just leave your liver at home, Guru - that's what I'm doing! :D

Good stuff, Willie B.! Boston meets Austin - we may need an interpreter or two! ;)

Astros single-game tickets go on sale Friday (Thursday if you're on their e-mail list). Is someone getting tickets for everybody so we can sit together or are we all getting our own tickets and standing around the Conoco pump?

[Astro Annie]

If we got cheap seats, I could get a bunch and then everyone could PayPal me or whatever.

That's not a bad idea Annie, though I wouldn't mind forking over the bucks for good to semi-good seats. There is no way I'm doing nose bleed though. Let's see if Willie can do anything and get commitments from all those who plan to make it.
I'm thinking we may have to hire a driver.:drink1:

Anything is fine with me... Just let me know and I'm good to go:thumbsup:

[PopTop]

I'm not having any luck getting any freebies or even any good tickets we can buy from my few contacts. So I'm all for your suggestion, Annie. Will you have access on Thursday?

I'm confirming myself :D

[Astro Annie]

Yes, they say they'll be mailing the password out Thursday morning.

If it's going to be semi-good seats, I can't do it as my card won't support more'n a few. However, I can share the password with whoever has a higher credit limit and they can get the tickets. I don't have a problem sitting in decent seats--I just can't pony up for everybody at once if I do that.

I can do it, just need to know for sure how many are going to attend. I'll be home around 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. If someone else wants to do this that's fine with me or if you guys can figure out the numbers I can do it after 4:00 as I said. Looks to me to be about 10 people. Let me know.

Bill and me too:wave1:
