Athletics Nation Second Annual Taco Tailgate!




You are invited to our second annual Taco Tailgate on Tuesday, September 20th.  We will be gathering in Lot A, chatting, eating, and perhaps drinking, starting at 4 p.m. until game time, in at the "usual spot."


We will be making tacos, potluck style, so think about what you would like to contribute. We'll need various taco fillings, salsas, tortillas, cheeses, etc. We are currently coordinating who is bringing what so we aren't just sitting around eating carnitas (although that sounds like fun, too!).  We ask that you just bring one (or two) things to fill out the feast.

This is a free parking Tuesday!

If you are on FB, friend me via my profile email addy and I will add you to the invite there.  If you are not, please email me at that same addy and I will fill you in on what is being planned, OR just post here if it that works better for you.

This will most likely be our last official/non-official tailgate of the season, so please join on the fun.  I promise we are nice people and we won't hurt you (intentionally).  Hope to see you there!  (There is a rumor that a PINATA will be showing up, as well!!!)

Please BYOB!!!!!!!

Athletics Nation Taco Tailgate on Saturday, 8/21?

Who wants to tailgate with G and I on Saturday, August 21st?  The game doesn't start until 6:05 p.m., so there is ample time to have a nice, long pig-out and hang-out session before first pitch.

I am proposing the long awaited "Taco Tailgate", in which we show off our culinary skillz by bringing all manner of things that are tasty on a tortilla.  We'll also need a grill, a table or two, and a "Napkin and Paper Cup Guy" (yes).

If you'll be there, please let me know here.  I'll make another post next week with a list of things we should have so we can divide up the work in "potluck" style.

As an incentive, I will bring a jar of my freshly pickled cucumbers for you to try!

xoxoxo, Jesa


Edit 8/14, 11 a.m.:  Berry Jo has graciously volunteered to organize group tickets for this game.  If you would like to participate, please PayPal joberryjo@gmail.com $15 by Wednesday, August 18th.  Thanks so very much, Berry Jo!!!
