So, today's my birthday. As luck would have it, the Angels are playing at a stadium roughly 3 hours driving time from where I live over my birthday weekend. This being the case, I did what any self-respecting Angels fan would do--weaseled my family into a weekend trip to KC, including tickets to three of the games.

As it IS my birthday, I figured that beyond bringing you guys after game reports with thoughts on what happened during the game plus (hopefully) pictures, I'd do a few other things that I've always wanted to try, but haven't had a good enough reason to actually pursue. My birthday wish-list is as follows, in order of likely-hood:

-Get in the broadcast during a crowd shot with the BAM-BAM poster my family made up. For those not in the know, Rex Hudler sent out a challenge to have Angels fans make BAM-BAM posters for Kendry Morales earlier in the week. It's not an HH certified nickname, but I have decided to screw it and unleash my inner camera whore.

Chance of success: 75%. It's KC, for crying out loud. Most likely not a lot of people there, much less with Angels signs. I'll be the guy in the white Tim Salmon jersey, orange sunglasses. I may have my cap on backwards as well. If you see me, screenshot it and post it in this thread for posterity. TheOptimist will let you know if it's me or not.

-Try to get Rex to give a shout-out to HalosHeaven.com on-air.

Chance of success: 50%. I've met Rex before, and I have the feeling he'd do it. Plus, they do it all the time for Angelswin, so why not?

-Take pictures with as many of the Angels players/staff as possible.

Chance of success: ??%. Depends on who's out there and how many autograph seekers/etc. there are.

-See if I can get into the broadcast booth.

Chance of success: 0%. But I'm going to ask anyway.

Note that except for the first one, none of this will happen Friday night. I'm going early Saturday and Sunday though, so we'll see. Right now it's looking like Friday might be rained out, resulting in a Saturday double-header. There may also be a surprise guest appearance on Sunday. We'll see if that happens.
