This Saturday, we are having a Halos Heaven meetup before and during the game.
BEFORE THE GAME: We are meeting at Throwbacks at 3 PM. This will be a chance to meet some of your favorite commentariat, editors and posters from the site. You will all get to meet (but not touch) Missus Halofan in person as she and I will be out and about. WiHalofan and Scottnak are flying down to SoCal for this, so surely you can drive over and help us fly the Panther Flag. A free shuttle bus departs from Throwbacks in ample time to see the game, saving you the $8 stadium parking charge and yes, it returns to Throwbacks after the game as well. This mega-sportsbar is less than a mile from Angels Stadium.
DURING THE GAME: We sold over 50 group rate seats to section 347, so that is where a core contingent of Halos Heaven will be. After the 6th inning, the Club Level opens up for people with tickets from other sections - if you are on the Club level during the game, stop by and say hello. If you are on a different level, some of us will be headed to the Knothole Club after the 7th inning stretch. Protect your ears from bleeding to "Buttercup" by running up the stadium ramps to the Club Level and look for the Panther Patrol in the Knothole Club. The elusive yeswecan and cupie should be in the house by then.
WHAT ABOUT THE SITE WHILE YOU ARE ALL OUT? Rghan will be managing things from his Ivy League lair and we will be mobile posting in between moments of pure awesomeness. In fact, if you are not already, add Halos Heaven as a friend on FaceBook as that is where many of the documentations of debauchery will be posted.
See you all on Saturday!

it means that
people form Harvard never brag that they are from Harvard, so you always find out from someone else…

Must be a joke, 'cause
everyone I’ve ever met who went to Harvard was fairly quick to let me know.
Is rghan seriously at Harvard?
It’d be great to not feel so isolated. I haven’t met another Angels fan since I moved from California. I don’t hang out with undergraduates, but the students I’ve had from LA all turned into generic Red Sox fans immediately upon arrival. No wonder Pink Hat Nation makes so much noise when the Red Sox are in Anaheim.
Isn't Carl Johnson over there, too?

wow. I’m impressed
When I'm not at the stadium, I'd rather be watching my Halos back in Costa Rica!

Wouldn't you know my weekends are free,
But I can’t attend this meet up either. I missed my nephew’s 12th birthday because of work, and promised him a day at Magic Mountain. Then again, he is 12 and old enough to know that sometimes things just don’t go your way, and it really wasn’t my fault for missing his birthday in the first place….and it is pretty presumptuous for him to think I’d drop everything just to honor a promise I made out of guilt……
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....

Throwbacks is ALL AGES before 9 PM
and the average mentality and maturity of our crowd is 12 so he will fit right in!

LOL--Probably includes me as well
No but I mean any other youngsters out of the 50+ going to the game? (not that CC really gives a damn)
not sure
lots of people are bringing a guest so odds are yes.

I wont be at Throwbacks
But I may venture over to you guys.
So Cupie is the reigning HH beer chugging champion?
I hope he’s ready to defend that title — the way the Halos have been playing lately, I know I’m going to be thirsty on Saturday.

Hope you all have fun. I'll be in town next Wednesday.
And looking to meet up with anyone who wants to enjoy some North Dakota hospitality.
I’m still bitter this thing is going down four days before I get there…
RIP NA
Oddly enough, I will be at this game through no effort of my own
My parents decided like 2 weeks ago that we are doing a late Mother’s Day/early my birthday get together to save everyone from having to drive all over So-Cal multiple times this month. My dad bought tickets somewhere in the 400’s near home plate I think.
I have a bunch of stuff to do back home in Elsinore prior to leaving for the game and my dad wants to go to dinner before. I don’t know what he has planned. Plus, I don’t know if I want him embarassing me in front of my tnternet friends…
Isn’t there gonna be some other gathering later in the year as well?

Actually, the potassium argon test might be more appropriate
In any case, will be glad to shake your hand and convene brief meeting of Oct. ’09 “club”. I have a toast in mind.
I'll bring it up to him
If he wants to go, I may have to bring a palentologist as well…they’d jump at the chance to study so many fossils!
BURN!!!!!!

Don't worry commander, you too, shall be as old as the sand of time one day.
Until then you’ll just have to dream about how awesome it is to have an AARP card burning a hole in your polyester leisure suit.

I’m going to need to meet you in person finally. I’m going to be at the game with the AN group. I’m going to have my daughter there too.

Hopefully this time the bartender knows what I'm talking about when I ask for a 'Panther'
Rather than assume I’m asking for some metropolitan cocktail that threatens his sexuality.

The aural surroundings didn't lend themselves to an articulate response
I gave up and ordered a Guiness.

Trying to make it to Throwbacks on time
with various kids issues to be dealt with on sat.
When is the last shuttle, just so I know my options? Thanks.
(Worst case scenario: down a Panther, hit the road…)
45 min before game time.
And 15 min. before game time. Take your pick. The driver is pretty chill, that’s for sure.
It must be that time of day, the time to focus on sports.
Coincidentally
The Rib and I are flying in from H-Town that day, and happen to be attending the game.
Looking forward to checking out Throwbacks.
Insanely Jealous...
I’m stuck in san diego. Hopefully the poster I sent my tickets to received them. I’m stuck settling for a padres-dodgers game. Look for the guy in red on the sportscenter highlights

No problem
Enjoy the game! Buy the Rev a Diet Coke for me…

So does this mean...
No game thread tomorrow? I went to tonight’s game and I can’t be there tomorrow.
I hope there will be a game thread.
I don't see why there wouldn't be

Rev,
Will there be Panther t-shirts available for sale at the meetup tomorrow? I’m willing to buy direct if you have a size XL available
I will be there tomorrow around 3 pm.
With angels4adam, his girl, and my other good friends Brent and Tyler. Can’t wait! See you guys there!

Pics, pics, pics
I want a full thread with everyone’s pics of the event. And details of any and every funny/interesting anecdote. Have fun!

My wife’s dad is in town unexpectedly, so I picked up another pair of tickets to the game, these in the front row of our group’s section. So if some crazy bearded guy asks you to trade tickets for front row seats, that’s likely me.

LOL
just look for the chubby middle aged broad
I'll be there!
Hurray for canceled meetings! Taking the amtrak up from San Diego, anyone ever done that? Apparently the station is close to the stadium? Now I need to hope the game isn’t sold out or get linkbruin drunk so I can steal my tickets back…

The wonderful person that organized all this is actually an A's fan.
So there probably will be a few….but it will be friendly. No need for tasers
Really? I didn't know that who organized it?

Imma coming!
But maybe not to Throwbacks and I don’t have the group section tickets—so see y’all at the Knothole Club! Assuming I can recognize anyone outside of Rev and Yeswecan (from pictures) that is…look for the 5’7 guy with a Lackey shirt (shut up it’s the only Angels gear I have) and a ginger friend….
Light up that halo! RIP, Nick.
Time to get a new jersey - or even a t-shirt.
Burn those Lackey jerseys (j/k) – or at least just put them away until the sting of what he’s said is gone.
Ginger as in redhead?
Smarten me up—what is the origin of ginger = redhead? Forgive me if this is a fatally stupid question.
I stumbled my way down to the Knothole Club in the top of the 8th...
Didn’t really recognize anyone and it seemed a little empty. Then again, the only person I might have recognized would have been Rev from pictures and underground internet newscasts. I wandered aimlessly for a few minutes and then went back to the upper deck. Cool little club, though – I can’t remember the last time I went in there.
If you saw a dashing young man sporting a Juan Rivera jersey and a hat that was cooler than yours (see profile pic) during the 8th looking lost and alone, there’s a good chance it was me.
