Deez Nuts and Bolts - right Flava?

1. Draft night is Friday, August 29th. What does that mean, though - the annual pilgrimage to a local MLB stadium for some pass the cup, beers, and public urination (with Shadow out - who's next?). We are waiting to pull the trigger on Braves @ Nats on that Saturday night in the Leftfield Bullpen - $40. As stated before, since there is no out-of-town trip (ie. expenses) we fully expect perfect attendance from the East Coasters. Shoot me an email or comment to this post committing by next Monday, May 5th. Please don't make us call you...you have the weekend to clear it with the family calendar so get it done!

We are tentatively looking at booking an Embassy Suites room in D.C. the night of the game. There's an ESPN Zone close by where we could hang out after the game, drink some beers, gorge ourselves on fat filled food and stumble home... We're thinking this may make it easier on DNice and Ricky B. with respect to getting home a bit quicker...

2. On the heels of an outstanding family gathering last weekend we are going to continue what was started last year - Two summertime gatherings at Vogel's house. The first weekend we're looking at is June 21/22. The second would be August 2/3. The idea is simple: get together for the sake of the kids and wives because Lord knows they won't see much of us (or at least get our undivided attention) until January! As you're deciding on the August game, decide on the dates, too... Thanks for your help with this.

3. Mocks - despite the blogger site acting finicky with the emails, please take a second and check to make sure you have your email address listed properly. If nothing else, you'll be sure not to miss Senuta leaving out an obvious top-5 pick! His first round was close, but badly missed at the same time...a lot like his yearly performances!
