I am looking forward to my first, in-person USSM/LL event. It’s been a long time coming for me. Hurrah.

So now that itâ€™s sold out can we set the betting line for the number of bottles of water that Carmen will drink this year? If we set the OVER/UNDER line at 6, Iâ€™ll take OVER!!

If he starts drinking that much water again, I’m driving him to the hospital. It was a kidney stone, last time.

Is there any other major league team for which there would be a sell out of 540(!) tickets in just a couple of hours to hear some front office folks talk?

I missed out on tickets as well… can I start a rallying cry for moving this to the Moore Theatre? Historic, intimate, yet still seats a couple thousand… Another thought is Mccaw hall at the Seattle center (the Nutcracker should be done by the 9th)… But after the first batch of tickets sold out… its kind of disheartening to see I missed out on the second… I was the first to post that we got Cliff Lee, so that should count for something

Thanks very much for going to the trouble to get a bigger place. I appreciate it … even though I missed out once again.

Dammit. The only two days in the past year I haven’t checked the site are the days that the tickets go on sale. Maybe a little warning next time?

…”Though at the rate things are going, the entire 2000 seat Benaroya may not be enough next time around.”

True, true, but…. I kinda miss the gatherings where we were excited because 30 people (!) showed up at Piecora’s (or Hale’s), and the beers afterwards at Elysian. Actually, that part can still happen….
