Let me know if you want to join the OWA group for tickets. How many do you want? I'm deciding on the section since I'm holding the bag.

Two for me, although whether I'll be able to use them is a question whose answer won't be known until March.

BudGirl · « **Reply #10 on:** January 31, 2017, 10:04:44 am »

I have ordered AND PAID for the tickets. I ordered 20 since there are only 15 of us claiming tickets. You must mail me a check or cash immediately or via paypal as a gift.

The tickets are $79 each. Once all 20 are paid for if additional are needed, then I may be able to order more. They are in section 310 (closer to home than last year).

I will also need an email address for the ticket to be delivered directly.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #11 on:** January 31, 2017, 07:24:59 pm »

Thanks for doing this. Check your paypal.

Tickets are only available via email. I'm not sure if you will be able to print them, but I will not be receiving paper tickets from the Astros.

There are currently 2 tickets that are available. Let me know if you are interested in them.

You all should have received an email with the ticket information, except for Ron Brand. I'm having an issue forwarding his so he needs to message me.

But, I think I may have been able to finally send him his ticket.

Let me know if you did not get the ticket. I used the email that you provided through paypal or the one your personally provided.

Your email was on the account, which is why you received those notifications and there is the problem with yours. I'll call the Astros to see about getting it fixed. I was hoping after changing the email in the account profile it would work, but apparently not. To be honest, I thought the accounts linked up with my information and didn't realize there was a problem until I tried to send you the ticket.

Lunch at Spanish Flowers (http://spanishflowersrestaurant.com/menu.html) at 1:00
Pre game drink: Flying Saucer (705 Main St, Houston, TX 77002) at 4:00 - unless the lunch group goes earlier

Wasn't there some issue about the Tall Texan not opening until later? I hope that's changed because I would kill for an icy goblet of Shiner Bock right about 11am on Monday.

The only phone number I could find for them is disconnected. If someone lives in the area they might want to stop in and see what the story is. At least it's a good excuse to grab a beer.

JD,

Fortunately, the tickets have already been claimed. Mr. Happy allowed me the opportunity to find someone that wanted them. They were claimed earlier today. I wanted to let you and everyone else know the tickets are no longer available. I honestly do not know that I would have given them to you anyway, but that is something, thankfully, I did not have to decide.

I also think you owe everyone that is going to the game an apology for saying you would organize the event and then neglected to follow through. You should not commit to doing something for people and then ignore the fact that you did so.

This second line in the game day article on Astros.com got a chuckle out of me: "Both teams are heated rivals in a power-packed American League West". Hating be Mariners is kind of like hating an underage Indian coal miner in the Punjab. If you squint really hard, you can draw a squiggly line of correlation between that person and me but it's really hard to convincingly do so in any meaningful way.

I'd get a table but I have no idea how many are showing up. Or when.

I am there in spirit, does that help?

That helps immensely. Someone licked the queso bowl clean.

Give 'em hell tonight! I was hoping to at least get over to SF for lunch but it was not to be. Feel free to bill me for a beer to be paid at a later bar.

Wondered what happened to you. Damn work.

Great to see everybody.

My Opening Day takeaways:

1. I don't hate the new CF nearly as much as I hated the renderings.
2. Raup the Younger is entirely correct in his hatred of the Wave.
3. There is no excuse for running out of hamburgers and pretzels by the 4th inning.
4. With his struggles last year, I had forgotten just how efficiently Keuchel can work through a game.
5. Nobody in that crowd trusted the bullpen.
6. If you leave mid-at bat in the 8th or 9th inning, people in your aisle should be allowed to punch you in the face on your way out.
7. Uber to/from the game seemed like a great idea. But putting the Uber pickup area at the CF exit on Crawford gives all those cars no good way to get to the pickup area. Also, my driver had no a/c and no clue how to get out of downtown, which is really nice when you're paying surge pricing.

Hopefully, a good and safe time was had by all! Sorry I missed it.

We always walk a couple to few blocks away before requesting the uber and the price drops significantly.

Also, from the airport the other day we requested an uber home. $26 and the chariot that showed up to fetch us was a 2006 Buick. Dirty as all get out, peeling tint, a shattered driver's window, and shocks that were completely shot! This car was in no condition to be in uber service. We reviewed this fare with Uber and they promptly refunded the $26 AND kicked in a $5 credit. I'm pretty sure no A/C would also result in a refund. They really need to have a better vetting and maintenance inspection process for their cars. 🙄

I hate the Damned Underage Punjabi Coal Miners, so it was an especially good win. Thanks BG! Great to see everybody!

Always great to see you and Mark! Hopefully we can get an AA meeting in this year as I'll likely be in the area this summer.
