For those who continue to misrepresent YF's motivations.

Circa 2011 ...

A couple of folks have asked why we don't just have a code to make reservations with, well the simple answer is that we don't yet have enough people committed to qualify as a "group".

With my limited computer skills, I pretty proud of my ability to create a twitpic account, save the .PDF as another file type, and upload it to the internet.

You can now download the form here: Twitpic

So, print and fill it out. You can either email (in my profile) or fax (312-277-2905) it back to me and I will send it in.

If that totally makes you uncomfortable, email or PM me and I will give you the contact at the DoubleTree's contact information so you can send it in directly and reference me so they know what "group" you're affiliated with.
 
While I understand the center of the SJ orbit is DC anymore, I think we're missing out on some fine potential meeting spots: Pittsburgh, Denver, Miami (it would have to be in September). Cleveland, too, but that's been done before.
 
Alright, folks. I figured July was probably a bit too soon, so I focused on August and September. Each team is home two weekends in each month. Neither home schedule is chock full of huge games. But, nonetheless, the Os are a handful of games behind NY and a couple ahead of Boston, and the Nats don't completely suck yet.

Of the eight potential weekends below, I vote -- in order -- AUG 30-1 SEP: Cubs; Aug 16-18: Red Sox, or finishing the season with a bang in DC against Philly.

Once we nail down the who and the were, I'll find us a hotel and a few bars.

Baltimore

August 16-18: Boston: 16th: Corbin Burnes bobblehead; 17th: O's tshirt
August 23-25: Houston – 23d: Gunnar Henderson bobblehead; 24th O's soccer jersey
September 6-8: Tampa – 7: O's football jersey; 8th O's cap
September 20-22: Detroit: 20/21: Fan appreciation weekend; 22nd: O's crewneck sweatshirt



Washington

August 2-4: Milwaukee – 2nd: Pups in the park; 3rd Harry Potter; 4th Kids shoe charms
August 9-11: Angels – 9th: Teddy Swims concert postgame; 10th: cat t shirt; 11th: Nats football jersey
August 30-September 1: Cubs – 30th HBCU night; 31st: bobblehead
September 13-15: Miami – 13th: Fireworks; 14/15:1924 championship giveaways
September 27-29: Philadelphia – 27th – Pups in the Park; 28th Nats hockey jersey
 
PSA: For your situational awareness, there is a high likelihood that Nats Park will be invaded by Phillies fans for that late August series.

Happens every time the Phils come to town.
