Around SBN: Yu Darvish Diagnosed With Mariners Fever

Camden Chat meetup for Opening Night

Last week we talked about meeting up on Opening Night to watch the Orioles play the Rays on the road. There was quite a bit of interest, which is awesome. 

As you guys know, I've been appearing on Drew Forrester's morning show on WNST three times a week for about a month now, and it's been a ton of fun. Drew has invited all of Camden Chat to watch the O's game with them at Jimmy's Famous Seafood in Dundalk. 

Jimmy's is a big place with a lot of TVs and unlike places closer to downtown, has all the free parking you could want. There will be drink and appetizer specials for the occasion and WNST has generously offered to buy every Camden Chatter their first beer. Additionally, if you show up and you're rocking one of the awesome Camden Chat shirts, I'm going to buy your second drink (just be sure to order your shirt soon so it arrives in time). 

I hope that anyone who is local and free that night will join us, even those of you who read CC but don't participate all that often. The bigger the CC crowd the more awesome the night will be. 

If you think you'll make the trip out to scenic Dundalk, please send me an email letting me know so that I can add your name to the free beer list. 

The first pitch in Tampa Bay is at 7:10 and I'll probably get to Jimmy's around 6 p.m. I really hope to see you there!

I have to RSVP "no"

I don’t turn 21 until the 18th of April.

But I’ll at the game on Friday, Saturday, and probably Sunday as well. And I’ll probably drink a beer with a Camden Chatter at some point in 2010. But Stacey won’t have to be my “hey mister” lady this time.

How about the home opener?

I’m going, broken toe and all. ‘Cause I broke my toe yesterday when one of my daughter’s fastballs hit it.

I was gonna suggest we have a mini-meetup before the home opener.

I forgot when the game is, but I’ll be there about 3 hours vefore game times. I’ll probably be crusing the Harbor Place and sports legends.

I'd love to, but...

2 and a quarter hours is too much to a trek for me… if we have some of these meetups closer to me, say near Bowie (It’s only a 1 and 3/4 hours trip then) would be more doable!

Geez, what are you, my neighbor? :)

Gotta be Eastern Shore from those directions.

I may go to this.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Good Morning Stacey,
I am a new participant with Camden Chat, but have been reading it since your Dad ordered me to go online at work and vote for your blog as the best.
I will update my passport and be there for opening day.
Thanks,

I think i was about a year too

Its really a much better approach than just diving right in. Theres a lot less clashes when people sit back and take some time to understand the culture rather than expecting everyone else to live up (or down) to their standards.

I'm pretty sure I commented for a month

before I read anything.

Ha!

That’s completely true. But hey, you’re one of the brave souls that put up with the “constructive criticism”. I respect you more for it.

I actually started lurking

right before she got the boot. It cemented my unrequited love for this place.

You are like a totally different person now

I’m glad I didn’t give in to the temptation and ban you.

Cool stuff

The past couple of weeks have definitely given Drew a different light for me. I’ll see you all there on Tuesday night!

Damn

I was leery of the whole WNST tie-in (not to mention the whole Dundalk thing), but dammit, if Andrew can change, so can I! Plus, two free beers. I hope they have a decent selection.

by PhilR8 on Mar 29, 2010 3:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was afraid some people might have been turned off

But I have honestly had nothing but good interactions with them. It’s been great. And besides that, if there are enough of us there you might not even notice them.

And Dudalk…yeah well. I know.

wow. that's terrifyingly real.

I hate NoVA so much.
I live in South Arlington, which is apparently considered “ghetto”, because we have to drive a whole 2 miles to buy a frappaccino or some khakis.

Problem is...

….your options are really limited down there. What’s your story? Are you working in DC now or in NoVa?

by Jonny Pops on Mar 29, 2010 7:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

I work statewide in VA.

I love Richmond, but I wanted to be closer to Baltimore and DC. Plus the rest of the senior staff are based up here. So, I’m stuck in the goddamn burbs.

I have three words:

Old Town Alexandria.

I would imagine it’s not cheap. But at least you’ll have some flavor.

by Jonny Pops on Mar 29, 2010 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's just not Arlington

Starbucks are everywhere! I live in the ghetto part of orange county, ca and there are literally 4 starbucks around me in about 4 to 5 block radius. And that’s just four that came to my mind immediately. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m missing a starbuck or two.

And you could do the same youtube video except replace starbucks with subway.
