I don't know but I can't fucking wait for tomorrow.  Feels like Christmas Eve...only tomorrow has the potential to be a million times better than every Christmas combined.

Probably too late to chime in, but i like to have all of that shit taken care of before I start partying. So, yesterday.

I won the company tickets in a drawing today.  Super excited.
Don't think twice, it's alright.

I would pay good money to see you tailgate, the looks of utter confusion from your neighbors as you blast Fleet Foxes drowning out their Kid Rock, Slim Thug and the Cupid Shuffle.

Folkin' A!
But I think everybody agrees the more appropriate tailgate music would be Dream Theater.

We tailgate near some of the yahoos chuck describes.  They've toned it down, after threats of having their PSL's revoked, but I've always wanted to show up next to them with a huge system, blaring some serious bluegrass banjo picking.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

And you guys tailgate in the rich folks' lot! Imagine what it was like for me back in the Blue Lot with nothing but pure bread knuckleheads.

My contention has always been that if you try to drown out some idiot's music with music of your own it does not discourage or shame them at all. If anything it encourages them. They see you enjoying your 130 dB Flatt and Scruggs and they feel vindicated in their 140dB Freebird or Chingo Bling or whatever.

What time do the lots open today?

Supposed to be 10:30 for the nobles and 11:30 for the hoi polloi. But i'm already in my spot, for half an hour. They let us roll on in about 9:50. Rumour is they're going to go ahead and open them all at 10:30.

I was down in the Blue lot.  Fun tailgate, but the music choices were horrendous - basically anything off a teenaged girls iPod...and Journey.  I drowned out the music with alcohol, which worked pretty well.

Don't remember getting home.

I made a point to listen as I walked from the light rail to the stadium.  I heard Drake, Oye Como Va and the theme to Rocky.  Pretty diverse group.
