Madison BCB get together

by Madison Cub Fan on Aug 13, 2008 12:07 PM CDT

I had posted earlier in the week to see if there was any interest in a BCB together. There did seem to be some interest in doing an August game.

A friend of mine and me are planning on going to Old Chicago Sunday. I will be in the Geo jersey and pink baseball cap.

Where: Old Chicago 7202 Mineral Point Rd (across from West Towne Mall)

When: August 17th noon game time

Hope to see some fellow BCB'ers there

Would love to...

Would it work better for people if we cancelled this and did it in September?

September works better for me

But don’t let that stop you from gathering on sunday. Any size gathering of Cubs fans is good!

I agree,

I think any group of Cubs fans together is good. We can always have another gathering in September(or several!)
I’ll try to make it on Sunday, but since it’s off campus I might have trouble getting there.

not being a college student didnt even think about that

I purposely didnt pick downtown b/c I know it’s turnover time this next week.

no worries

off-campus might be easier during the year because of public transportation, but I am arriving on campus on Sunday, so it could be tricky timing-wise

My wife has to work Sunday most likely.

and I’ll be at home watching the kids. Sorry.

Then how about it be put off until September

Sounds OK

As long as my wife is off on the day in question, I can give it a shot.

any possible ideas for Sept?

not looking at the schedule, do we have any prospective Saturdays or Sundays where we could all meet?

I'm going to be at the Cubs-Cards game on the 20th

And that weekend is generally not good (in-laws in town). Saturday the 6th is also out, but sundays are good.

I dunno about those WOO WOO's up there, though.

Sounds too much like someone we don’t discuss here.

Ha! I never have time to sit down and watch a game either...

But I follow the team online voraciously. That said, I think I’d try to make it out to a Madison getogether whenever and wherever works for most. My added preference would be if it were a game only being broadcast on EI or ESPN since I get WGN at home already. Does old Chicago have the EI package?
