Modern Vespa

That's right, it's that time again, to have a beer with the Quitters Scooter Club, surrounded by a bunch of people who only like baseball the second it's "important" or when they can pretend that "their team" (that they never watched during regular season) is gettin' a shot at the big time.

Well, even though viewership's down 25% from the last World Series, chill out with the Quitters and pretend that the rest of those goons don't exist, all while enjoying our favorite establishment's fine selection of beer, booze, and food of various... uh... varieties.

When - 10/30, day before Halloween. Bonus points if you come dressed like a jerkass
Where - Connecticut Yankee, 17th & Connecticut, San Francisco
Why - Because we love hanging out with you guys and talking about scooters, otherwise we would have joined a "baseball club" or whatever the hell it is those people do with their spare time... collect cards and chew gum and scratch themselves or whatever.

(I don't hate baseball, I swear, serious. cross my heart. I only hate people.)

Hater

World Series might be over by then anyway (go Phillies!)

Yes. Stupid expansion teams don't even have a chance.

90% of the Devilray fans didn't even know the team existed until ~118 hours ago anyway.

they're just the "rays" now.

duh.

Darn, gonna miss hanging out this Thursday, flying back from Vegas...probably with less money than I started out with.

Yes, because the word "devil" got all scary up in everyone's ass. But people who are in "the know", "know" they're the devilrays!

duh.

I like 'em better as the "Rays". Just has a nice sound to it.

blarg
blamf

yes

And let's not forget, just in time for the holidays:

25% more Quitters, same great taste! (Or something like that.)

Awww yeahh.

Ignore one set of dorks to hang out with another set of ?.... Oh nevermind.

Might stop by on the way back from the airport with the Mrs.

XOXOXO Oz (and the rest)

Dude, when you're an adult and in anything referred to as a club, you're probably a dork

(I totally don't care that I'm a dork)

The gimp fight has been rescheduled for this this Thursday, so ding, ding!

It is my understanding Gang might be the way to go- might help with the instant street cred too - since Patrick only made one of those certificates.

Mayhap an organization or association is in order?

Oops, series is over, and the weather sucks.

I suppose it'll just be regular "hangin' with the Quitters" instead of also ignoring baseball fans.

Hmmm...

Maybe we should change the name to Quitters Scooter Gang?

Somehow I don't think anyone would confuse us with that "other" SG:



heh

Ray can't make it tonight... he was going to give me a ride. Anybody driving and willing to give me a ride?

I'm riding the MP3, that's like driving..

No, it's like triking! It's not a trike. NYTimes MP3 article

You coming tonight, sarah? Benito was here last time...

I wish! I haven't been able to make it down there since the MV Workshop but you guys are all a blast to hang out with. Have a great time!

Wish I could join you guys tonight! At this point I've been up for 33 hours straight working on a couple of crisis projects and I have hours of work to go. I'm afraid I'd be face down on the table before the first beer even if I could get away.

Have a great time!

I bet those crisis projects would go more smoothly if you had an assistant...

Yes and we had a great time, you guys are a fun bunch. Wish I was in SF right now. Did you have a good evening?

Sorry I couldn't make it out tonight. SFMC next week? I think Laura's ready to give up on me.

Or two.

It was great hanging out with all of you last night and listening to your Cannonball stories. Hopefully my Halloween costume wasn't too frightening.

sorry I missed out too. Flight got delayed. Now I have to wait two weeks. Bweep hello if you see me riding around with my dog on the back.
