Opening Day 2017
« on: October 06, 2016, 05:56:06 pm »
I haven't heard from the Astros yet but it probably won't be long. I've run this thing about as long as I care to. Who'd like to take over for a while?
I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

87 views and no other discussion? I'm not kidding folks, I'm not going to herd the cats next season. It's not a hard gig, but I am tired and just don't have the time for it. Step right up, I'll make it as easy as I can...

I'll organize if someone else holds the bag.

I just got the email and the clock is ticking. If you want an OWA Opening Day outing in 2017, someone needs to step up now.

I guess I could do it, if BG doesn't want to.

I need a preferred SECTION or PRICE RANGE to know what tickets to get.

I need a confirmation from everyone wanting to purchase tickets.

ASAP.

Ok, I count 14 plus my 2.  Pretty sure we need 20 to make it a go.  Anyone else?

If us buying a few more to go empty ensures there's one less Cubfan in attendance, I'm all for it.

If it's not too late I'll take some, at least 2 but let me know if you need more.  I liked where we were last year, but anyplace is fine.

Any word on the status of the group tickets? SWA is having a sale and I'm thinking of pulling the trigger.

Since Jane does not seem to want to respond.  I am going to call the Astros and try to get us all tickets.  Please sound off in a separate thread to make it easier for me to keep track of who wants tickets.  I do not have time to sift through this thread finding that information.
