Maybe it's a bit too early, but what do you think about having a BD Gathering for a game (or games) at PNC next season? Would anyone be interested?
Not as a contest (as suggested by patthatt - although I DO rhink that's a good idea!), but a meeting of the faithful?
The 2010 schedule can be found here, among other places.
I'll post a poll, but please also respond in the comments. If we get enough attendees, we'd probably get a group rate (on game tix & rooms, I should think), and maybe we could even get someone to host something - fer chrissakes, if the PBC Blog can get someone from the FO to show up...

I'd drive up from Philly
For a gathering of the goons.
I live on the west coast and don't have any family in PA anymore, if anyone ever wants to go to a Pirates-Giants game in SF, I'm game!
BTW, when I read the title of this thread, I thought it would be about Magic cards in some way. lol.
Magic Cards.
Or something about the first episode of Babylon 5.

absolutely.
taking a year off college to get money saved up, so I’m perfectly free
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
I'm down.
I’m only a half hour away and know ALL the good bars! Lol.

I'd do it
If it coincided with a weekend I’d be home.
Oh, this actually reminds me of a ridiculous idea I had to find people who want to “split” season tickets. I’ve often thought about doing a big package, but I can never be sure if I’ll make it to a particular game.
I figured if there was a rotation of people in Pittsburgh, it’d be possible….with the added benefit that if we’re someday competitive we’d be able to have playoff tickets.
I'd go for it
"Polamalu’s lineage can be traced through several roots. Chuck Norris mated with an Amazon Queen, and on the other side, Tony Hawk mated with Mother Nature.
The two children of these spawned and fused in a tantric love session to create Troy Polamalu. The mother however died as he tore through the birth canal with a spin move."
Mechem on the roots of Troy Polamalu
Yeah!
I plan on driving to North Carolina to visit my cousin at some point next summer, but I planned to stop in Pittsburgh on the way there for a few games. I guess it’d depend when it’ll be. For me, I can’t go in April, May, early June or September and work permitting from mid July to the end of August.
I'm in
if I’m still within a reasonable driving distance.
I live like two miles from PNC
So I’d really have no excuse not to.
Although it won't work for everyone
I’m thinking maybe a Saturday night game followed by a Sunday day game?
Of course, we’ll all have to wear nametags, to facilitate bonding/fistfights.
If its in the summer or fall
and if people don’t want to kill me.

If I’m still in the Pittsburgh area, I’d be interested.
Nothing better than meeting strangers off the internet.

Houksyndrome, we should have a west coast gathering of the faithful as well, I’m always at the Giants-Pirates games anyway.
I thought the title was a reference to Highlander; like we’re dying off by losing our heads until there’s only one Pirates fan left.
Can we bring the Wives?
Every year I make the trek from New Mexico to catch the Bucco’s at least once. I may as well make it re-union day. Can you pick a day when its warm, low chance of rain, before the humidity kicks up,,,,,last week of June maybe?
Um, probably not the last week in June.
They’ll be in Oakland, Texas and Chicago that week. I was thinking sometime during the two weeks after the All-Star Game when they’re at home.
definitely down

Cfor2: Stay in touch with me about this. Given the amount of interest there might be a way for me to get to town and help you organize.
Will do...
prolly as the winter goes on, I’ll try to firm things up, & we can get together on it. I wouldn’t be able to do it all from Chicago, for sure…
Free your ass and your mind will follow.
