TCB Goes to the Ballpark?

PrintI know the guys over at The Dream Shake have set up a deal to get group tickets for their readers to Rockets games. It got me thinking, "Why can't we do that for our site?"
I'm not sure if this is something you've tried to do in the past, but how many of you would want to get a block of tickets for some number of games next season? Before I talk with anyone in ticket sales, I wanted to get an idea from you how many were interested, if you wanted to set something up on a monthly basis or just try for once next season or if you want to even socialize with other posters on here outside the Internets.
I'm not sure whether the Astros will work with us on this, but judging from last season's ticket sales, I'm sure we can work something out.. I'm attaching a poll to this post to see if you are interested in this. Feel free to leave comments as well about the idea, changes, modifications, if it's been done before and failed spectacularly, or if there aren't enough of you near Houston to go to a game.
Just think, we could band together and become Brandon Lyon's fan section: The Lyon's Den. Or, The Lyon's Pride, Or Lyon's Kings, Or...well, I'll stop there.

I voted not with you weirdos
But…then I realized I’m one of the ringleaders, so count me in on this adventure.
(Also, I’m pretty sure we can easily get this worked out this Astros, too)

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
Voted Yes,Once
Hey guys…Haven’t posted on here much, but I read daily. I post on the Astros.com website alot. I think it would be cool to try it once. I already have tickets, but could spring for another game, just to put some faces with all these screen names.
As far as the Lyon idea…I wouldn’t want to go that far yet! lol. Let me know.

I dont really post that much either but read every day too (not much else to do at work), I’d love to come seeing as a couple guys I use to get season tickets with bailed this season. Also… hopefully they’d put the Hunter Pence section next to the Brandon Lyon section

I live in Austin, so I picked “once,” recognizing that it may be difficult for me to go multiple times, given the difficulties which may arise in getting people’s schedules to coincide. However, I wouldn’t mind more than one outing if my schedule can accomodate it.
I also live in Austin
It’d take quite a bit more planning than to just leave work one day and walk over to the ballpark.
I live just a bit to far
However if you can plan it far enough in advance I could possibly see about making a weekend trip out there to go see a ball game and tour the sites of Houston.

Sounds like a great idea.
But I know I wouldn’t be able to go. I like the Lyon fan section as well!

Hey I'd go!!
Regular poster during the season, and I’d like to see some of the clowns that post here. Most of the fans at MMP, are not very knowledgeable, and my sons and I stick out. So put me down for 3 or maybe more if I can get my brother to go as well.
"now you chunkin' in there.."
I'm down
This could be a nice post Bar Exam present for me.

Enjoy your final semester! Also, feel free to hit me up for “advice” or if you’d like my old (TX) bar prep material.
yes, and yes!
I’ll shoot you an email sometime soon about the Bar/life in general…
There seem to be a good number of recent law school grad types on this blog, so I may as well ask…
1) what Bar Prep class/materials did you use?
2) would you recommend using it, or would you suggest I go a different route than you did?
3) general advice
If anyone is out there who can lend some advice to a graduating 3L, I would appreciate it

I'm just a little to far to make the drive...
But I do tend to come home for a few days during the summer when I am not in school, so it might just work out. Otherwise I’ll get my ‘stros fill like I always do when I drive to Denver to watch them beat up on the Rockies. Three years and counting and I still haven’t been to an Astros loss at Coors Field.
Miss-placed Houstonian living and going to school in the wilderness of Wyoming. Fresno St. 28 - Wyoming 35 (2 OT)!!! Hands down best game I have ever been to.
I voted yes (and I actually live close enough to go!)
I would love to go and have a beer with fellow ’Stros fans…count me in!
