New coffee table book: We Are Cubs Fans

A friend of mine came across this book and just happened to see a pic of me in it (featuring the Fukudometer). He sent me the web site and the book looks like a very nice coffee table book. I don't endorse this book or have any connection to it, just thought it was cool, esp because I'm in it. Below is my pic. I'm going to order my copy soon.

I remember the photographer taking my picture. He was walking around the stadium and asked me to stand with my sign. He also showed me the digital pic of the cover of his book (the one of the guy with the sunglass reflection)

That's me on the right BTW. FWIW, he never got permission to print my picture. Can I sue his pants off for at least a copy of the book?

You were in a very public place...holding a sign for everyone to see....

I doubt you’ll have much ammo.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Cool..

Will be nice to show your grandkids someday. BTW, do you still take the sign to the park? Haven’t seen you lately.

Usher problems

I’ve had usher problems, to keep a long story short. I’m busting it out again this weekend. Probably the reason Kosuke has been slumping. Not probably. Definitely.

Might be cheaper to buy the book, than sue for a copy of it. :)

(Off topic, but) Are your 8/4 tickets still available?

Sorry for the off-topic post (I’m a long-time BCB reader, but a new commenter),

I saw your post on the original Ticket Exchange thread about having extra 8/4 Cubs vs. Astros tickets. I’m looking for three tickets (coincidentally, myself and my two friends all also turned 30 this year…) I would have replied on that thread, but it seems comments are closed, and I didn’t see that the tickets were gone.

Even if you have only 1 or 2 tickets left- please let me know. I’m lucky enough to be in the Chicago area, but my two friends are visiting from out of town, and the scalpers and agencies will probably keep us out of the park if I can’t find a decent exchange. Email me at andrewb96(at)yahoo(dot)com. Thank you!

Who?

Are you asking me? I have no tix avail for 8/4, which the Cubs apparently think is a Thursday in February.

Will Byington...

... who made this book, is someone I’ve known for a couple years—he’s an excellent photographer, and I’d highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone here. Was going to post a review soon. I’m also in the book.
