For Immediate Release
The SwankPoets would like to announce their Third Annual Portland Baseball Extravaganza. For those unfamiliar with the tradition, Swankette and TeacherRefPoet select one weekend each year to travel down to Portland for a Beavers game, and encourage everyone they know (and even people they don't know) to come along for fun.
This year's extravaganza will be Sunday, August 27, at 2:05 pm vs. Las Vegas. Fan Appreciation Night! The first 2,000 fans will receive a free 2007 calendar! We'll purchase reserved tickets - since that seemed to work MUCH better than the year we tried to do general admission. Infield Reserved are $13/each, so unless a majority want to save a few bucks to sit in the outfield ($10/each), we'll take that route once again.
We can hear your excuses now, "I'm too busy for a baseball game", "I'll be on vacation that week", "TRP scores the game and that intimidates me", "I never really liked y'all that much anyway." Make as many excuses as you like, but keep in mind that there is a chance that this may be the FINAL SwankPoet Baseball Extravaganza, and if you miss out don't come crying to us later, because you had your shot at fun. (There will, assuredly, still be baseball games in Portland in the future, but logistics may eliminate the desire for one single extravaganza every year).
As always, feel free to invite friends and loved ones to join us. The more the merrier. If you're interested, leave a comment or drop an e-mail. Ideally we will be purchasing tickets mid-July, but if folks are on the fence we can extend that. If you're someone we know, we can settle up later.
Sounds like fun. Patrick and I might join you again this year, but I'll have to reserve making the decision until later.
Jess.
