Have you locked down your hotel yet? If you’re staying in Clayton, there’s a cool area I wanted to point out as well. It’s the first block of N Central Ave, about two blocks from the Sheraton. There are several very good places to eat there, if you want something requiring less effort.

Yep, I officially am not going. Which sucks, I really wanted to. Like I told Vince, I’ll at least be in the state of Missouri on 9/1/07!. It’s an annual thing, so I’ll definitely make one of these years.
That really sucks. Where’s the reunion (is that right)?
Sikeston, I think. Well, that’s where the family is down there. Lambert’s, here I come!
Right now, I have a reservation at the Crowne Plaza in Clayton. I am messing a bit with priceline just to see, but it’s not likely that they’ll bite at the price I’m bidding at. If we remain there, I want to try Iron Barley, but just in case we decide not to go there, I’d appreciate any recommendations for N. Central Ave. Thanks.
Argh, my golden plan for 9/1/07! is not going to work. I had hoped that we could drop the kids at my sister’s at around 10 and then have my wife’s parents pick them up late afternoon and take them back to their house, where we’re staying. Well, my sister is still up for it, but my in-laws are now saying they’ll be out of town. I never thought I’d be disappointed to here that. This will cut into my post-game time. I should add that my lovely wife, after I pouted about this for awhile, said “I could pick up the kids and you could stay out.” She totally would do that. She wouldn’t even make me feel too bad about it. But, the guilt…. I’d feel some guilt.
We’ll see how it plays out. Still hoping to have some postgame time. However, you have to remember that Tiger games usually last at least 3.5 hours….

That sucks. Do you know where you’re sitting, Mr. Luxury Box? And how about you, Vince? I think I mentioned my seats on the last page.
Ticket information: Section 151, Row Q, Seats 19-20.
I tried Priceline again yesterday. I bid $60, and got no matches. But, I was told, I could bid again on the same dates and places (downtown, Clayton) if I raised my bid to $77/night. That booked us at the Sheraton in Clayton. So we’ll stay there instead of the Crowne Plaza in Clayton for $105/night.

I used to work in the Enterprise in that building. You’re close to the Metro stop there.
I saw that. It pleased me. It was what I was worried about when I raised the bid—that we would end up too far from the station to use it easily, and thus, spend the hotel savings on taxis.

Clayton isn’t really large enough for that, I think just about every hotel would be an easy walk to the Metro, especially for those used to it.
Early reports have us tailgating at Washington and Broadway, in the MAC parking lot. That also happens to be next to the Drury. My friend is a member at MAC and works at 500 Broadway and is trying to make sure this is possible.
I just learned that the guy planning on sitting with us at the game is unable to come. I have two tickets available, although I’ll probably swap those with friends who couldn’t get tickets with us.
Another news bulletin post: The friends that I plan to meet before the game have come into four free Cardinals-Reds tickets for Friday night, so TMG and I will be joining them for the game.
What does this have to do with Frank Tanana? I won’t feel bad if we show up a little later to my freinds’ tailgate in order to meetup before the game, which I think works out better for DTS.

Right now we’re hoping to be out for festivities from 11 to 7:30 or so. Still waiting for confirmation. I was hoping for an earlier start, to be honest, but this is probably the best we can do.
