I'm assuming the $140 price tag depends on how many morans sign up, right?

Minimum of ten, but the $140 doesn't vary if we have 10 or 100. That includes tax, BTW.

Well we all know what happens when you assume. Got it.
In.
Count me in.
OK, I'm gonna get started on a solid head count. The game time is "TBD", which means it will undoubtedly be a Sunday Nighter. Come out, and you won't have to listen to Joe Morgan. Double win.
Even though I'm not invited, I'll be there
In.

This is as good a time as any to tell folks that I'm putting together the paperwork, and it's gonna run everyone $140 a head, tax included.
This includes a seat, food and beer.
Witty repartee is free.
I'm going to need to pony up the money up front. As you can probably understand, while I happily laid out the ticket money for Hockee Night, this is a slightly different proposition.
So, everyone who said they were in, start scraping your pennies together. I'm going to start hitting everyone up for dough next week.
I'll talk to the guys at BCB about how to arrange the money orders.

Probably could get Kristen to go for about $12K (just as long as the game doesnt go into extras and/or Tracs isnt pitching).
I'm definitely in for one, dur.
Fork, don't put me down as a definite yet, but I just e-mailed the missus, and one or both of us might be in.
Maybe we should print up shirts for the event, just as one extra "Fuck You" to Mr. Baloney.
I'm a definite maybe. I have one more week in Minny after that for my summer gig, but I could easily afford the flight back and game.

Get off the damn fence, Dave. Shit's 4 months away.
As for the Randall Simon sausgae beatin', I may still bring the missus if there are any extras around, closer to game day. Fork ain't makin' no promises, though. Once it's filled, it's filled. I'd recommend you morons start commiting to this before it gets opened up to a wider audience and people start recommending *real* friends sign up. I'm thinking it may truly be legen...
I'd say I'm about 75% sure right now. Never know what kind of officiating stuff will pop up. Gotta check the calendar.

Oddly enough, if we happen to be on a a rooftop near the firehouse on Waveland, and there's a strong wind coming from the east, you may be able to actually land a loogie on Tuscany Restaurant, as it's at the northwest corner of Clark and Waveland.

You know, the GIRLFRIEND (sorry, Kurt) and I have talked about about making a summer trip to Chicago to visit some friends. It'd be great to meet you all and take in a game. I'm not sure how keen she is on meeting my Internet friends, though.

To Mrs. T.J., there's no difference. They're all "men you meet on the Internet."

If you can make a linkup from Dubuque to Mendota, ur golden. Actually make that Rochelle.
But you'd be a lot closer to Andy's neck of the woods
If you're driving through my neck of the woods on the way to Chicago from where they are, you are lost.

Me and the wife are in.
I probably missed this earlier, but when's the drop dead date to sign up? I'm sorta interested. I can only imagine my wife's expression when I ask her to either take her to meet some folks from a fringe messageboard or go by myself to meet them.

I left a message last week, I'll call again today, as far as tweaking the number of the group upward goes. Otherwise, once I start collecting, that'll be it.

I procured my 4 tickets for that Saturday game (August 9th) with the intention of making them available for any morans coming in from out of town who may want to be inside Wrigley Field after the trouble of making it to Chicago for this thing.
Face value, natch. Anywhere from 1 to 4 tickets. Pretty decent seats, too. Section 204, first row. Send me PM.
My girlfriend (!) is completely unfazed by the whole "internet friends" thing, which makes me wonder about things I dare not ask about. Some things a dude is better off not knowing. I don't know if she's in or out but my dad was actually saying that he really wants to go. He's a swell dude and this might just make his summer if I can get him included. He could sit in for Stew as the old guy and sit in for MikeC as the right wing nutjob.
But you guys would like hate him. He's like me only 30 years older.

Mike, I'm going to that game too with five other derelict assholes from Indianapolis. Keep your tickets and we'll see who's cooler.

And by cooler, I of course mean intoxicated with extra credit points drawn by number of likenesses of sworn Cub Killers destroyed. We'll bring a printout of Kerm's whatsamawhodgit to help keep score.

QuoteCHICAGO -- Nothing obstructed the view of Wrigley Field on Monday from a pair of rooftop clubs whose owner has refused to share 17 percent of his profits with the team.
But if Tom Gramatis hasn't paid up by the time the Cubs return home April 15, team officials said obstructions will be installed.
Cubs vice president Mike Lufrano said the team hopes it won't have to do that, but that it's unfair to other rooftop partners to let one rooftop get away without paying.
Gramatis could not be reached for comment.
Four years ago, the Cubs and the rooftop owners struck a deal after an acrimonious dispute that saw the team put up wind screens to obscure their views.
Rooftop owners agreed to pay the Cubs 17 percent of their gross revenues for the next 20 years.
The two clubs in question?

QuoteGramatis could not be reached for comment. If he doesn't pay up, views from two of his rooftop clubs -- at 3617 and 3619 N. Sheffield -- stand to be blocked by dark decorative banners hung from three or four poles positioned a few feet apart in foul territory along the right-field line.
...
He operates three rooftop clubs in the 3600 block of North Sheffield. At one location, he failed to share any of his 2007 profits with the Cubs. At the other two, he's trying to cut a better deal because the buildings are new and cost more than he originally anticipated.
The Cubs have filed a lawsuit that seeks to hold Gramatis to the 2004 profit-sharing agreement or force him to shut down.
But since a ruling in the case could be weeks or months away, they're pursuing what Cubs Chairman Crane Kenney has called "self-help remedies."
This has been going on for months. It's already in court.
http://www.schwimmerlegal.com/Rooftops_Redux_%20Complaint.pdf
3637 Sheffield is his other building, the one in which the deadbeat is currently in arrears to the Cubs for 2007 proceeds.
Swell. Just fucking swell.
Since the collection of money never started, the contract never went out. Let me see if I can get another rooftop.

If there is a genie involved, then they're free hookers. It's science.
I'm going to explore our options, both inside and outside Wrigley Field.

In December 1982, after four days of deliberations, the jury found Lombardo, Dorfman, Williams, and two others guilty on 11 counts of bribery, fraud, and con-spiracy. A month later, while out on bail awaiting sentencing, Dorfman was shotgunned to death in the parking lot of the Lincolnwood Hyatt Hotel. The mob apparently thought Dorfman was too soft to do his time and might start singing. ABC-TV's Ted Koppel devoted an episode of Nightline to the murder, accompanied by a profile of Lombardo. To this day, the Dorfman slaying remains unsolved.

I'm astonished at how Stuart Levine could remain such a functional Illinois political hack, siphoning off so much cash from the state the "clean" way (kickbacks as opposed to good old-fashioned embezzlement), while raising money for BOTH major party candidates for Gov. in 2002. You'd think you wouldn't be able to keep everything straight after a couple stiff drinks, let alone after emptying the inventory of meth from Alsip and ketamine from Arlington Park several times a week.

Well, it was the Hyatt when I was a mere tyke. We called it the Purple Hyatt. Then it became the (Purple) Radisson. Someone finally bought it out, I guess. It's a slight upgrade in quality from the hotels just south of there along Lincoln near Devon.
Of those, the Heart 'O The City is my favorite as the Wachowski's put it in The Matrix.

I used to bartend (yearrrrs ago) on the other side of Touhy at the restaurant known over time as The Kenilworth Inn / Bones / L. Woods.
(How smart was I? Bartending in a Jewish neighborhood.)

Was that Weebs, or Weebs' close friend?
Beyond the Ivy seems to have three locations on Waveland, Brixen Ivy one.

I definitely didn't say that...and I have a close friend on Desipio? How does my name somehow keep getting brought up in situations totally unrelated to me?
^^^ Make sense now?

I used to bartend (yearrrrs ago) on the other side of Touhy at the restaurant known over time as The Kenilworth Inn / Bones / L. Woods.
L. Woods is still great stuff. Plank salmon, good ribs and steaks. Classic Lettuce Entertain U establishment.

I was referring to your good friend who has this friend who totally slobs on Sean Gallagher's knob or something (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=5512.msg121700#msg121700).

Better get a reservation, though.

Just pool your money, get one really good hooker and share whilst watching the game on TV in a swank suite downtown. Everybody wins.
Speaking of HJE - Where the hell is it? It won't show up for me this morning.
Andy's money order still hasn't arrived at GoDaddy, so all the rest of us are screwed now.
Beyond The Ivy is around $165/head.
Brixen Ivy is around $150/head.
Anyone been to either?

At one point or another I think I've been to all of them. Asking me to remember them is just a waste of time. Like this post.
Carry on.

I've been to Brixen Ivy. The assholes didn't even let us into the building until the top of the 2nd inning (I was screaming bloody murder). It was the May 31st game in 2003 against the Astros that went 16 innings when they intentionally walked Patterson to get to Sosa, who finally won it with a bloop base hit over Jeff Kent. Anyhow, my buddy and I were the only ones who stayed until the end. I understand that they couldn't legally keep giving us booze, but they wouldn't even make us a freaking chicken sandwich.
Incidentally, that was the day I met Mrs. Kerm.
If I have a vote, I would go for inside the park, at this point. I bet more people would go, since it'd be far cheaper, and we wouldn't have to deal with some of the douches who run the rooftops.

I went to Great America and ate El Famous that day. I also moved all my shit to my apartment on Patterson Ave right next to the fucking field the day after. I remember that day clear as a bell.
My first game as a Lakeview resident? The day after the corked bat vs Tampa.
Woke up on the floor and called in sick to work.
Ah, youth.

I also believe that game was one of the two instances thats season that Corey Patterson was IBB'ed in front of Sosa. Imagine that.
Both times, Sosa failed to answer the affront to his gladiatorness.

If you were in shorts and a t-shirt Kerm, you were freezing. I remember the 16 inning game as well, as my wife threw a surprise 35th birthday party for me (at a suite at the park). Overcast and misty in the 40s if I remember, most of the guests stayed inside. Sosa's 'big' 47 hop single won that one (but I'm sure Chip said he crushed it), so the IBB backfired on Yosimite Sam.
If Kerm was in the bleachers, it might not have been so bad. Like I said I remember it being freezing in the shade. It was also May 30th or May 31st.
Steering the topic back on, well, topic, I suggest that, if we wind up going inside the park as a group, that whomever pledged their appearance for the rooftop get first dibs at what likelywill be a more finite number of people.
That is, if group sales are even still available.

Keep it on a rooftop. That way there's enough room for everybody and you can talk to more people than who you happen to be sitting next to.

I used to bartend (yearrrrs ago) on the other side of Touhy at the restaurant known over time as The Kenilworth Inn / Bones / L. Woods.
L. Woods is still great stuff. Plank salmon, good ribs and steaks. Classic Lettuce Entertain U establishment.
Better get a reservation, though.
Seriously. I live right near there, and I've carried out a few times, but I've not eaten there since I was a kid and it was still Bones, because I never think to get a reservation and that place is always insanely packed. I don't think it's all that great -- but there is a shocking lack of restaurants anywhere in the immediate vicinity. Have to go to Lincoln Square or Andersonville to find anywhere worth going. I would kill for a decent sushi restaurant nearby. As it is, the best option for sushi is Whole Foods. (There is a place at Crawford and Touhy that some people like, but it's overpriced and I'm not impressed.)

Isn't L. Woods the Legally Blonde chick? I'll take your word on her plank salmon, but she had good ribs and a nice set of steaks.

I still can't believe someone thought it was a good idea to paint a hotel purple and call it the Purple Hotel.
Well, it was the Hyatt when I was a mere tyke. We called it the Purple Hyatt. Then it became the (Purple) Radisson. Someone finally bought it out, I guess. It's a slight upgrade in quality from the hotels just south of there along Lincoln near Devon.
Of those, the Heart 'O The City is my favorite as the Wachowski's put it in The Matrix.
Korea Town. Keep a close eye on your odges if you go there.

If Kerm was in the bleachers, it might not have been so bad. Like I said I remember it being freezing in the shade. It was also May 30th or May 31st.
Steering the topic back on, well, topic, I suggest that, if we wind up going inside the park as a group, that whomever pledged their appearance for the rooftop get first dibs at what likelywill be a more finite number of people.
That is, if group sales are even still available.
Keep it on a rooftop. That way there's enough room for everybody and you can talk to more people than who you happen to be sitting next to.

I think you can scroll back a page or two and get a pretty accurate scouting report on him. But I can save you the time and trouble by telling you that Weebs' friend Bill...
... is this guy:
(http://www.rightfieldbleachers.com/uploaded_images/Mar05Turnbow-757736.jpg)
Just so you know, Pex, I ask even though I truly do not care. I understand he plays softball with about 7 of the 350 people registered here. I'm more amused than anything that Weebs talks about him as if he is understood by the larger Desipio community. This shit's fringe as it is, and someone whose known by less than 5% of that fringe (I'm guessing) begins to approach an abyss-like fringe nothingness that, quite frankly, scares me when I ponder it. I mean, he's not regsitered here, is he? And if he is, I demand he come forward and stop having Weebs speak for him, lest I conclude he does not exist.
Basically, I'm just breakin' the Weebs' balls to let him know I'm uncomfortable with such a profound abstraction. Capiche?
Also, who's Bill?

Bill don't say much, because he don't need to.
And you don't demand shit of him. Uh-uh. Not if you intend to keep using the moniker "Kid Gorgeous".
"Snazzy" I haven't heard that word in decades. Snazzy. Snazzy. I don't think that I have ever seen it in print before. I love that word. My mother-in-law, who was born in Kansas City in 1912, used to use that word. I have to use "snazzy" in conversation more often. Dang! That is one good word.

That's awfully swell of you to say so Stew, I think it's jake that you're keen on it.

This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but I do remember the first time that the word snazzy made an impression on me.
It was the evening of my first communion, so I was in second grade I guess.
The whole family went out to dinner downtown to Fritzl's (which was one of THE places to go to in the early sixties) to celebrate the accomplishment.
Of course I was dressed up in my little navy blazer and a tie. A big boy tie not a clip on.
Sitting at the table next to us was Jimmy Durante, who I recognized from TV.
He soon realized what the event was we were celebrating and he called me over to his table.
During the course of our conversation he commented on how "snazzy" I was dressed and congratulated me.
I thought the whole thing was pretty groovy.
So yeah Stew, "snazzy" is the bee's knees in my book.
I love the story. Jimmy Durante? Whilikers! I remember him from "The Man Who Came To Dinner." A lolapalooza of a movie!

DPD.
The contract has been faxed out, my credit card bitten. I'm going to send personal messages to all with payment instructions.
It's on, Ogdens.
When I read this (borrowing a line from Kerm) I giggled and flapped my hands in hysterics.
I just got my package, and I'm fittin' to do some stimulating of Fork's economic indicators.
No gay stuff though.
Well I'll contemplate payment methods as I wait for the e-mail. I'm hoping for Peruvian bearer bonds.
First guy to try paying with BCB T-shirts, I'm fucking him up.
I'm looking at you, Oleg.

Just one reminder, before everyone runs off to get their money orders...
Please remember to include your real names, for the guest list. Otherwise they'll think we're going to have a bunch of cartoon characters on their roof.
Which isn't to say we're not, but still...

Is this rooftop going to be populated only with morans (and moranettes) from the Only site?
I think Chuck is going to invite David Kaplan to this soiree.
140 quid?
Hmm.
We're sharing the rooftop.
it's $150/head.
Chuck and Dave will just have to be discreet. No ghey stuff.

The way I heard it was that Andy is bringing
either Mrs. Dolan or Len.
I'm just telling you what I heard, though.
Len begged off. He spurned us. And Mrs. Andy isn't joining us that night either. But my dad is. It'll be 8:30 before he realizes he's the designated driver.

I can invite prostitutes if we need extra people
If they charge by the hour, I'm kicking them out if the game goes into extras.
If TDubbs brings them, they gotta be free.
They're free, but the drilldos cost $$$$
If there is still space, I would be a maybe for 2 people for this. Just let me know if there's still space.
Maybe I can add a plus one?
there's still some space. PM me if you're in for more people.

OK, we're 7 days away. What building are we in, are we just on a guest list or do we have actual tickets, what time can we show up, and what do we need to know?

TJ, I'm glad you asked. Let me answer your questions one by one...
1) Brixen Ivy (http://brixenivy.com/home.htm), 1044 W. Waveland
2) There is a guest list. I have everyone's real names, and they will be at the door.
3) 6:35 is when they start letting us in.
4) We're DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!ed.
So I totally want to be there, but I have to work on Monday and RT flights from Minny to Chicago are at $800, and a one-way back on Monday morning (even if I left my car in Chicago for a week) are $400, which is a lot to pay to get back to work on time and to be able to get shitfaced on all-you-can-drink booze.
If it were a weekend later, I'd be golden. Bummer.

It's assumed.

Same-day turn? NWA.com is showing $139 base for not too crazy late Saturday/early Monday itineraries. I'm a bit weary to dig up the fare basis, and probably should not have resuscitated this long-dormant hobby.

Looks like the $800 fare is if you want to fly in to and out of the same airport. If you go through NWA and are game to fly in to Midway and out of O'Hare, you can get a ticket for about what Tonks quoted.

On another note, anyone up for some sort of get-together on Saturday night as well, so all the morans who can't make the game can participate in dwarf-tossing Oleg some of the weekend's festivities?
Is it worth $316 to come back to Chicago for the weekend and attend the rooftop game? Plus whatever getting hammered with all of you Saturday night would run? I'm kinda thinking yes.

I've got playoffs for a softball league I'd rather not even play in on Sunday, but I can't back out of it, so I won't make the rooftop game. But I'll be downtown on Saturday, so I'll gladly join you guys on the curb across from whatever establishment you would be attending.

I guess this weekend will officially be Moran-fest. It'll be like Hawks-fest, but with fewer concussions. Unless Hawk will be there, in which case, someone just might get concussed. I have a feeling I may have something going on Saturday night, but I can weasel out of it. It's not like I'm married. Just tell where and when and I'm there.

Tipster liked him some of that older (not quite cougar-y)
tail mouth, huh? Bernie's before a Sunday night game may be a bit crowded. Especially since we're looking at 20 folks or so in our group (35 or so to the game, minus a couple who are too cool to join us beforehand). I like TJ's suggestion of Guthrie's since they have that back room where we can all meet. Moran's is a natural choice, but, that'll probably be packed as well. Keep in mind, the douche factor will be high what with all the red (and not the good commie-red) running around. Again, I'm up for whatever.

If we're rolling 20 deep, that means we can start and end fights. D'ur. If we go to Bernie's or Moran's, Oleg, I'm gonna get you some ass. It might be Kerm's, but I'll get you some.

Some losers are coming over to my CONDO around 1 or 2 to get stupid for awhile. We'll probably leave to get on the train around 5. Anybody, except Boc, can come over if they want. PM me with your measurements and for my address if you're interested. Much ghey stuff.

1) Brixen Ivy (http://brixenivy.com/home.htm), 1044 W. Waveland
2) There is a guest list. I have everyone's real names, and they will be at the door.
3) 6:35 is when they start letting us in.
4) We're DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!ed.

Also, are there going to be post-game drinks somewhere? I'll probably be back in the city basically right after the game starts. The more I think about it, I'd actually have a chance to make it back BEFORE the game starts...dammit. Anyways, I'm pretty sure BK and Oleg are the only ones who have my cell phone number, so let me know and I'll be sure to show up at the bar across the street.

Front Row: Three random women who live in their condominium for a living. Second row (from left): Morpheus, Oleg, TDubbs; Third Row (from left): Bad Kermit, flannj, TEC, A guy whose hat and glasses are the only things visible, Irish Yeti, T.J. Brown, Banana Hands; Third Row: Chuck Dickens' girlfriend, Chuck Dickens, the left side of Pre's head, Thrillho/Cornfed, Butthead, Forklift, Mike D., Andy Dolan, thehawk.
Not pictured: Chuck-to-Chuck and Mrs. Chuck-to-Chuck; Slaky and his girlfriend; Andy's father who probably disowned Andy after meeting this crowd; Mrs. T.J., who is a 3-1 shot to return home today from work now that she met this group; Saint Mrs. Fork, who did vow not to attend a Blackhawks-Red Wings rooftop on New Year's; Mrs. Butthead; Weebs (out on the curb at 1050 W. Waveland).
I took the liberty of posting a recap at HJE. (http://hirejimessian.com/2008/08/11/shoutboxing-from-the-rooftops/)
It's really quite interesting matching all these sexy faces to their respective--previously faceless--monikers.
It also makes me all the more eager to eventually take part in a like picture myself someday.... Oh, how I love you all.

The even better look is Morpheus up at the top. He's got his morts on, rife with jealousy that he's not involved in this man-kissing action, all the while trying to stifle the erection that's going to obviously be showing soon due to the tightness of said morts.
The woman with the battered headphones looks a little confused, too. Of course I had started the evening right by answering her question of who Jim Essian was by giving a recap of the 1991 Cubs season.

In all likelihood he is talking about the extremely bored chick in the light blue shirt--looking quite "gangsta" with a chain and backwards hat on--who seems to find Earl and Shark's conversation more interesting than anything else.
By the way, the girl in the white (I can't get this color wrong, right?) Cubs shirt, wearing sunglasses, has some pretty unfortunate timing.

The look on Mrs. TJs face is Morton's bone-in ribeye in a peppercorn congnac reduction sauce.
I get that look a lot. Hey, what's Jeff Samardzija doing on the roof (behind the woman in the Cubs jersey and headphones)?
The people on the rooftop above us sure look like they're having a great time.
I just wanted to go back and give this observation the propers it deserves. It was a beautiful night, great setting, a ballgame in front of them, and those people look like cows headed to slaughter.

But they are silent and still, which seems to be important to the proprietors.

I like the old Blue Jays hats, too, although I liked the old road hats better:

(Don't ask me why).
I also like the button-down version of that uni, in which the logo is slightly to the right. If they did it in powder blue, it would have been steak sauce on a non-acousticophobic roof.
But I digress. The unis remind me of the 1985-era Blue Jays, who would have destroyed the Tards in the World Series if they didn't choke.

I have to say that our group seemed to be having a great time. Lots of conversation and laughing all night. Everybody giving each other shit and general drunken tomfoolery.
The rest of the crowd were a bunch of stiffs.
To go along with the other complaints about the management and their spectacular customer relation skills, what the fuck was with last call in the 7th inning?
I realize the ballpark has cutoffs to try to keep a lid on fan rowdiness and in order to comply with neighborhood requests. But a rooftop?
No one is going to run onto the field from a rooftop.
You can't throw garbage on the field from the other side of Waveland.
The bars don't have to stop serving.
So why does a rooftop? Probably because it was a package deal and the earlier they stopped the better for them.
When I mentioned to one of the bartenders that I wish I knew they were going to stop serving, she replied that she announced last call 3 times. Which would have been fine except that she was in another part of the building from WHERE THE DRINKING WAS GOING ON.
As I gestured towards our group even my most desperate plea of "Not even one more? You don't understand, how else am I going to put up with these people?" wouldn't sway her.
It was all probably for the best as I nearly killed myself twice falling UP the stairs on the bleachers.
I would attend another of these in a heartbeat.
Well, even better was the ingenuity of the guys who ordered 25 beers at last call and had them lined up on the last row of the bleachers the final 3 innings. You just needed to know where to look, flannj. (Of course one of the brownshirts came up and demanded we get rid of the beer with 1 out in the 9th. We happily obliged.)

That's part of the deal the rooftops agreed to with the city when they were officially licensed. I was actually surprised that the cut-off wasnt the time cut-off the park uses for night games. Very forward thinking, however, of TJ's group to get the extra beers in time (I was one of the people who 'helped' TJ get rid of the extras).

While I'd love to claim that action, I think that Thrill and Pre were the main architects of stashing the beers. Brilliant!

I'm sure that's the reason even though it's retarded because the bars a couple hundred feet away are all open.

I think I remember having a college-style chugging contest with someone around the eighth inning to help get rid of some beer. Although no one should take anything I say about that night with any credence.

Apparently Pre threw down cold cash to one of the bartenders for service after cut-off.
A mensch, and the pride of gay Jewish Cubs fans everywhere.
Huey handed a few up, too, I think not realizing the strategic beer reserve we'd already begun to establish.

Not to take anything away from Earl Hickey, but Pre was the true mastermind behind the Great Late Beer Pull as he provided the means--in the form of about 2 c-notes--with which to shower us with all of that late-inning krausened goodness.

Looks like everyone had a ghey (good) time. Well, except for the backwards hat crowd in the back.
Maybe I'll make it up next time.
Bump. Believe it or not, when Chuck goes home, he does not only write hate mail to Alfonso Soriano and eat puppies. He's a charitable sort and he recruited me to serve on the Kohl Children's Museum Board of Governors. Anyway, our illustrious board is auctioning off a set of four tickets at "Skybox on Sheffield" for Monday's game with Houston.

Bidding ends later today, but here's a chance to re-enact the last gathering of morans and give money to charity.
Bump. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3974212
Would be a shame if Brixen Ivy went under.
Just so everyone knows effort has been made, the only dates the Cubs had available for group buys were midweek in April and September. The Cubs have shit dates in Milwaukee, as far as getting a group together goes.
TDubbs' idea of everyone getting a bleacher ticket actually seems to have the most merit, unless everyone wants to do a rooftop again.

TDubbs' idea of everyone getting a bleacher ticket actually seems to have the most merit, unless everyone wants to do a rooftop again.
That would certainly make it easier to fuck with Al.
Especially if we all got "Banned by BCB" shirts.

Can you throw tomatoes at someone during the game without getting the boot?

You can't even throw popcorn.
Mrs. Cubbieblue wants to know where I want to go to celebrate our 50th this June. If I told her that I wanted to go sit in the bleachers at Wrigley, I know for certain that the marriage would end up shy of 50.

A few of us in the Shoutbox were throwing around August 29th as a possible date for this year's Desipio Outing. It's a Saturday afternoon game (3:10pm) against the Mets. I'm willing to start working on this, getting the rooftop and so on, unless I hear any objections from the Desipio crowd. It'll probably be another $150/head kind of deal. Anyone have any thoughts or objections? If I don't hear them by tomorrow I'm going to start setting it up.

Is there a site where you can look up prices? I have to believe rooftop prices will be cheaper this year..

Just got back from Skybox on Sheffield.
Head and shoulders above that Brixen trash.
I had several brownies.
Despite how much everyone here hates my brother, he is doing a lot of the ticket sales from Wrigley Done Right, the rooftop down the right field line. I've been there a couple times and it's a really good place. The staff is pretty laid back and the food is good. I could probably find a way to get a discount of some sorts depending on how many people will be going.

QuoteMezzanine Suite
Located throughout the Mezzanine Suites presented by Nuveen, a 15 person suite is a great way to enjoy the excitement of the Chicago Cubs. Suites are available to rent on a game to game basis. Seating for your guests outdoors with comfortable space inside. Each suite is equipped with plasma televisions as well. Also included in the rental price are two VIP parking passes. Catering is separate and is available through Levy Restaurants.
Value Dates: $2,500 Regular Dates: $3,750 Prime Dates: $4,500
Double Play Suite
Double Play suites double the size of a Mezzanine Suite and can accommodate 30 guests. Located just outside first base and third base, a Double Play Suite is a fantastic way to enjoy a game. Also included with the 30 tickets are four VIP parking passes. Catering is separate and available through Levy Restaurants.
Value Dates: $4,000 Regular Dates: $6,000 Prime Dates: $6,600
Super Suite
With seating for 40 guests, our Super Suites are located just outside first base and third base. Included in the cost of the suite are five VIP parking passes and a food and beverage package through Levy Restaurants.
Value Dates: $6,100 Regular Dates: $8,300 Prime Dates: $9,400
Grand Slam Suite
Enjoy a spectacular view of Wrigley Field and Lake Michigan to the east. Welcome your guests at beautiful Wrigley Field from our Grand Slam Suite. Located on the mezzanine suite level, our Grand Slam Suite includes 55 tickets, 6 VIP parking passes and your choice from three different menu packages.
Value Dates: $8,100 Regular Dates: $10,500 Prime Dates: $12,000
We'd need at least a double play suite, which will run us $200/head, and doesn't even include catering. And the Batter's Eye is $240/head for 75-100 people, but at least that includes food. I gotta think we can do much, much better with a rooftop. Thoughts?
http://chicago.timeout.com/articles/sports/73332/wrigleyville-rooftops
Lakeview Baseball Club
(3633 N Sheffield Ave, 773-935-1880)
The sole members-only rooftop, Lakeview requires a yearly fee of $200 to $1,000 that gives patrons club access as well as the chance to buy lower-cost guest-ticket packages per game. Tickets include an all-you-can-eat buffet and unlimited beer and wine.
Deets on seats Tiered metal chairs behind right-center field
Cost In addition to the yearly fee, patrons pay $90 for a ticket, and guests pay $165.
Specials Sundays and holidays are reduced-price ($75 for members, $100 for guests). Lakeview also plans to offer seats to the upcoming Rascal Flatts concert on July 18 ($195 for guests, $120 for members) and the Elton John–Billy Joel shows on July 16 and July 21 ($249 for guests, $174 for members).
Who goes there One of the few places to offer ticket packages for out-of-state visitors, Lakeview can draw fans who don't root, root, root for the Cubbies.
Wrigley Done Right
(3621 N Sheffield Ave, 773-388-0500)
One of the largest, most laid-back rooftops, Wrigley Done Right serves up ballpark food by the boatload and all-you-can-swig beer and wine inside an air-conditioned indoor bar, complete with plasma-screen TVs in the bathrooms.
Deets on seats Standard bleacher-bum seating behind the right-field foul pole
Cost $75 to $225, depending on the popularity of the game
Specials Call for discounts on early-season games as well as tickets to the concerts
Who goes there The shaggy postcollegiate crowd, man-boys (and the blonds who love them), easygoing celebs like Bill Murray
Skybox on Sheffield
(3627 N Sheffield Ave, 773-303-9999)
In addition to more than 6,000 square feet of viewing space, Skybox also features a rooftop beer garden, grills, an air-conditioned clubhouse and pool tables.
Deets on seats Bi-level bleacher seating behind right-field foul pole
Cost $150 to $200 per ticket
Specials Value dates throughout April and May cost $150 to $175 per ticket; 12- or 18-game packages go for as low as $145 per ticket.
Who goes there Because Skybox is the only rooftop venue with an indoor business center (complete with Wi-Fi and faxing capabilities), it tends to draw suits who can't leave the office at the office.
Murphy's Rooftop
(3655 N Sheffield Ave, 773-281-5356)
One of the smaller (and cheaper) rooftop venues, Murphy's caters primarily to private parties of 50 to 100 that reserve the entire roof. Patrons get access to the views and Murphy's Bleachers bar-restaurant underneath.
Deets on seats Bleacher seating in the sweet spot between first and second base
Cost Cheap by comparison. Renting the facility is $2,000 to $10,000 ($40 to $200 per person).
Specials On certain days in April and May, Murphy's opens the roof to everyone, offering individual tickets for $50 to $80 (call for info on games available at that price). But Murphy's is no good for concerts—it's directly behind the stage.
Who goes there Everyone from tweens to grandmas on the family-reunion march

Okay, can you just throw out my money order when it comes in the mail then?
There's no way to coordinate it in time with the limited supply at that price.
Besides, I'm not sure I can make it myself.

I think it's quite a good recommendation. Last time I was there, I saw Chuck, Chet Coppock and Norm Van Lier in the same room.
There's proof I'm not Norm Van Lier.
It's a bigger relief you're not Chet Coppock.

I'd rather be Chet than Norm given their relative respiratory function.
Bugger me. We're shooting a movie that day, in which yours truly will be playing (get this) a Wrigleyville douchebag. I know, what a stretch. The role involves me bugging the piss out of my roommate, the male lead and trying to convince him to dump his girlfriend and go whore around Clark Street with me. It's going to be fucking tit steak with a side order of tit fries washed down with a titty lite.

If standing there with a glove on his hand qualifies as "playing" left field, then I guess Marshall was playing left field. Sitting at home, grinding what is left of my teeth, I was hoping that a ball would be hit in his direction, but no such luck. Reed Johnson, who was positioned somewhere in the left field bleachers stumbled into a cleverly disguised trap of the third out that would have been hit directly to where Marshall had been trying to take root. Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining as hell, even if Joe Morgan and his sycophants didn't have a clue as to what was going on. There was a professional symphony orchestra (I can't remember the name) that used to celebrate some holiday, maybe April 1st, by having each of its members playing on instruments other than their specialty. The result was recognizable, but awful. I would like to see professional baseball teams do this on the final day of the season in games between teams that are eliminated from contention. They could call them "Doug Dascenzo games".

Despite it being 40 degrees that day, I'd be game.
EDIT: Guess, I should have checked the next page. Sunday I could probably do
Opening Day (Monday, April 12th) is also available if you jobless losers want to go.
I picked up a pair for Opening Day. If nothing else, The Huebiter will be there with Minnesota Dave. If it's freezing, the rooftop will actually be a nice luxury.
If I can manage to get fired before then, I'll show up. Otherwise, I should probably go to work.

One thing I learned, and I don't know if it'd work for you, and I had completely no intention of having this work out for me the way it did...
In 2002 (
oddly, the day after I got engaged) we headed out to the park like we had for years before, some of us since '96, others since '98. We always sat in the bleachers but somehow came up one ticket short for this particular Opener. I decided to fall on the grenade and told everyone to not worry about it, if I get in late I'll get in, save me a seat and all that.
I badly overestimated the street market, as bleachers weren't just expensive, but they didn't even exist. I tried waiting it out, but after the game had actually started, I was getting too antsy and decided to say "fuck it" and walked up to the day-of-game tickets spot next door to the Waveland entrance/exit across the street from the firehouse. I decided to just SRO it and get inside. The ticket vendor started to get me the SRO I asked for, did a double-take (probably felt pity for the fat grownup by himself wearing a torn Cubs jersey and already drunk) and said "Oh, we've got one a few rows behind home plate." BAM. By the third inning I was able to watch Jason Bere serve up meatballs from no more than 125 feet.
So that's my advice. Wait until the game starts, look pathetic, and try and see if you can get a good ticket at face. I understand these types of tickets are "family & friends" giveout that go unclaimed.
They're still not
free, but it's okay if your honeymoon gets lopped off by a day, right?
Sure, pick the day when I am just about to be getting back to Illinois.
Fuck the cold.
Another tip, keep checking Cubs.com. Found pretty good tickets today for the Friday afternoon game (4-16) against the sneak attackers (after getting aced out on the rooftops).

This, and what Mike said. The Cubs hold back a bunch of good seats for sponsors who often decide they don't want those seats. So the Cubs then resell them and proft. Of course, selling tickets for FACE is a pricier proposition in 2010 than it was in 2002.

Slaky? SLAKY?
Oleg abandoned bozo a long time ago. I'm bringing it back. It was all on Twitter. You should have been there.

NSFW (http://rule34.paheal.net/post/list/Padme_Amidala/1).
A couple of months ago, I went out into public and saw Fork, who mentioned that the real baseball to watch will be in Geneva, Ill., home of the Kane County Cougars. I was reminded of this today when I saw the Tribune article on Mark Johnson, new skipper of the Kane County Cougars. (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-cubs-johnson-kane-20121212,0,341575.story)
This team should have Jorge Soler, Albert Almora, Dan Vogelbach, Javier Baez as well as something called Shawon Dunston Jr. (anything like thiis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYzY7GH-N5o)?)
We're talking 1986-1987 Pittsfield Cubs territory (Jamie Moyer back when he just got through puberty, Greg Maddux before he discovered golf, Darrin Jackson when he had two balls, Damon Berryhill back when people thought he was going to be good, Drew Hall back when we began to suspect he might suck but weren't sure, Rafael Palmeiro before they invented Viagra and before he discovered Winstrol, Mark Grace before he had an interlock device on his car, Lester Lancaster, Paul Noce before he became a superstar in late June 1987, Rich Amaral before he attained minor celebrity in Seattle, Doug Dascenzo before Ford Frick instituted a height requirement in baseball, Dickie Noles in a rehab appearance that didn't include Betty Ford, Jeff Pico before he became the NEXT BIG THING with the Cubs in 1988, Dwight Smith before he could afford bodyguards, Hector Villanueva before anyone in Chicago knew just how awesome an enormous poor defensive catcher who hit a lot of home runs was, Mike Harkey before he became the NEXT BIG THING with the Cubs in 1990, Phil Stephenson, Gary Varsho and the wonderfully named Rolando Roomes).
They ruled the Eastern League and were managed by none other than Jim Essian, who strangely demanded to be named "Skip Johnson." So the Cougars have their own Skip Johnson, and the potential of this ballclub has to rival that of the Pittsfield Cubs, with Vogelbach starring as Hector Villanueva.
Anyway, despite my proclamation that all is well on the North Side and that the Cubs should have no problem winning 73 games or so, why not have a group outing in Geneva? Just take North Avenue and keep driving until you see the lights in the distance on the left.

Anyway, despite my proclamation that all is well on the North Side and that the Cubs should have no problem winning 73 games or so, why not have a group outing in Geneva? Just take North Avenue and keep driving until you see the lights in the distance on the left.
I thought Elfstrom was off of Roosevelt (IL-38) not North Ave (IL-64)?
It is, but taking 64 gives you a scenic route of the North Side, Elmwood Park, Elmhurst, northern DuPage County, St. Charles etc.
But fine, Mike D. will drive everyone on his bike/rickshaw using Roosevelt Rd.

Granted, the last game I saw at Kane County was in 1994 (got to see ARod strike out and muff a double play for Appleton)...but if I remember correctly one of the attractions was the food. I'm talking real food, not the kind of overpriced crap that compels one to stuff his fanny pack with a Bacci slice, I'm talking fat pork chop sandwiches on an open grill quality....so if there is a road trip, I'm thinking you might want to skip the beef stands beforehand.

Growing up, my grandparents had a "country house" in Western Massachusetts and on certain warm, buggy summer nights we would all pile in the car and go see the Pittsfield Mets play at Waconah Field, after the Cubs ended their affiliation.
This was late 80s/early 90s. It was my first minor league experience and a great atmosphere to watch a ball game. I always wondered if it was secretly a letdown for guys to make it all the way to the bigs only to have to end up playing games at Shea after summer nights in the Berkshires.

We're talking 1986-1987 Pittsfield Cubs territory (Jamie Moyer back when he just got through puberty, Greg Maddux before he discovered golf, Darrin Jackson when he had two balls, Damon Berryhill back when people thought he was going to be good, Drew Hall back when we began to suspect he might suck but weren't sure, Rafael Palmeiro before they invented Viagra and before he discovered Winstrol, Mark Grace before he had an interlock device on his car, Lester Lancaster, Paul Noce before he became a superstar in late June 1987, Rich Amaral before he attained minor celebrity in Seattle, Doug Dascenzo before Ford Frick instituted a height requirement in baseball, Dickie Noles in a rehab appearance that didn't include Betty Ford, Jeff Pico before he became the NEXT BIG THING with the Cubs in 1988, Dwight Smith before he could afford bodyguards, Hector Villanueva before anyone in Chicago knew just how awesome an enormous poor defensive catcher who hit a lot of home runs was, Mike Harkey before he became the NEXT BIG THING with the Cubs in 1990, Phil Stephenson, Gary Varsho and the wonderfully named Rolando Roomes).
They ruled the Eastern League and were managed by none other than Jim Essian, who strangely demanded to be named "Skip Johnson." So the Cougars have their own Skip Johnson, and the potential of this ballclub has to rival that of the Pittsfield Cubs, with Vogelbach starring as Hector Villanueva.
Anyway, despite my proclamation that all is well on the North Side and that the Cubs should have no problem winning 73 games or so, why not have a group outing in Geneva? Just take North Avenue and keep driving until you see the lights in the distance on the left.
I thought Elfstrom was off of Roosevelt (IL-38) not North Ave (IL-64)?
It is, but taking 64 gives you a scenic route of the North Side, Elmwood Park, Elmhurst, northern DuPage County, St. Charles etc.
But fine, Mike D. will drive everyone on his bike/rickshaw using Roosevelt Rd.
Plus, Johnnie's Beef is on 64.
There's also a Portillo's.
North Ave. has more Portillo's than Golf Rd.
Until now I hadn't before realized that there two Portillos on Golf fewer than 3 miles from one another (New Wilkie & Plum Grove).
This new PANKMaps update is really buggy.
Your dead, whore grandmother's really buggy.
Looks like restarting it helped.

A couple of months ago, I went out into public and saw Fork, who mentioned that the real baseball to watch will be in Geneva, Ill., home of the Kane County Cougars. I was reminded of this today when I saw the Tribune article on Mark Johnson, new skipper of the Kane County Cougars.

Labor day weekend, the Cougars play the Chiefs. Saturday night, former Cubs farmhand Jesse White sends his tumblers. Sunday night, Nancy Faust plays her organ in public.
Most weekend games are against a bunch of common SKOs from Iowa.
