Rowbot BBQ/Game Meetup Wrap

I must say that for myself, and hopefully everyone involved, the BBQ was a great success. There was food, fun, mayhem, general awkwardness of people from the internet meeting in person, and more than enough stupidity to last the summer.

FI2 was gracious enough to provide his house to BBQ and hang out at, which was awesome. Food was plentiful, including burgers, dogs, chips, and enough cheese puffs to feed the French Foreign Legion.

Redhawk was late as hell thanks to traffic, but he made up for it in the form of beer.

The game went well, including various chants including "SIX-TY PITCH-ES clap clap clapclapclap" and when Brad Hawpe hit his 19th 2-bagger of the season, we had a nice healthy "UNDER-RATED clap clap clapclapclap" going.

The part that ended up being the most out of control was the stupid cheese puffs. AtkinsandTulofan and GUEST brought the entire 5gal bucket in and got yelled at by an usher for throwing them into the mouths of the beer bash going on about 10 seats down and 2 rows up. Also naming the cheese puffs individual player names.

We gave out at least 1 or 2 nicknames, including Carlos "Phil" Gonzalez and Troy "....Cheese Puff" Tulowitzki.

I'm proud to report that we didn't actually do the live-Fangraphs-update, although PF and I are debating coming back and trying it again.

The sheer amount of profanity and badmouthing coming from AaTF and GUEST behind us after Corpas' dinger was earsplitting and mindblowing. Seriously, Street was 2 outs into the save and they were STILL ranting about how Corpas should be "dumped somewhere with bricks tied to his feet".

 

Anyhow, it was a good time had by all. PioneerSkies brought (in my opinion) some of the funniest parts of the day in 3 forms:

1. Showing up with Taco Bell to the BBQ. Keep the Streak hot, man!

2. Showing up also with the 5gal bucket of Cheese Puffs, which became a celebrity in their own right

3. After coolapotomous made an astute observation about something the Rockies did, he chimed in with an eloquent, if not brief, "+1"

I figured Holly looked like

I kind of thought Jabberwocky looked like Matt Berninger, the singer from one of my favorite bands.

The one I’ve gotten more than once is Peter Krause from Sportsnight and Six Feet Under, but I don’t see it.

Pictures, woo!

I like seeing what people actually look like.

general awkwardness of people from the internet meeting in person

I’ve experienced this myself, and it is definitely awkward. I even have one internet friend I’ve met up with in person a few times (over the course of a few years now, just recently a couple weeks ago) and it’s still always a bit awkward at first.

by holly96 on Jun 15, 2009 4:16 PM MDT reply actions  

It's neat ...

putting a face to a screen name.
I have made some great acquaintances through the internet (mostly in the horse business) .
But I can’t remember being any more awkward than I would if I had never met them over the internet. Did that make sense?
I guess it all depends on what format that you meet these people .

I think it's awkward

because you have a certain established rapport online, but that doesn’t automatically transfer to a real-person situation. And not everyone is exactly the same as their online persona, anyway.

by holly96 on Jun 15, 2009 4:33 PM MDT up reply actions  

I agree with this.

It’s usually supa awkward, but can definitely smooth out over the course of hanging out.

This is true, I certainly had a good time..

even though they are reprimanding me and guest about the cheese puffs/manny corpas things. I would like to state for the record that guest had the much stronger disdain for manny (I was just wincing and facepalming a lot). Rather, Pioneer Skies and I were chanting for Matt Daley the great to come in.

I don't want people to see the real me

you know..professional image and all.

Then they meet me, and realize I’m a goof.

The hat is so cool

and really was nice in LoDo after wards.

For those that weren’t there. The hat is a nice new palm. It got wet in the pregame storm. Well…it’s had a lot of glue resin in it. (not the most expensive hat on the shelf). Well. the wet rain and new hat, brought out the resin and it really…well……stunk. But some Frebreeze, and it’s good now…with just a hint of stink.

My jealousy levels are through the roof

That looks like SUCH FUN. Curses. I also remember how well an English accent goes down in Colorado – I’d have totally milked that :)

Anyway, let’s get back to Holly looking like Anne Hathaway. blush I look more like, uh, well, the comparison I’ve had the most often, which I don’t like at all (the man has no lips!!) is Moby. Sigh. That’s me in my avatar – you tell me who I look like…

So, about that video...

The only thing I can think of is embedding it here, but I’m not sure that I am allowed to do that…?

If not, it is too big to e-mail, but it is on my facebook. :-)

Too bad

ZombieRockiesMagicNumber couldn’t make it. I hear he’s a riot…

The Rockies need some oldschool purple/white striped high socks. The team’s problem is it’s lack of swagger. I feel strongly that these socks will provide the swagger necessary to tap the potential that are the Rockies.

I am going to try my best to be there next year. Looks like a lot of fun.

What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????

We're going to wait a whole year for another get-together?

Why not do another one in October?

I'd be up for any get togethers/games

just between now and the hitching, my chances for hosting are pretty slim.

Listen, this signature line is a big part of who I am.

Did they trash the place that bad?

You’re probably still picking cheese puffs out of your azaleas!
