Posters Game - Tailgate Party Details

[HarveyWallbangers]

I posted this in another thread, but thought I'd throw it in here. Is that okay or am I just adding to my post counts?

I had a good time--even though Partial tried to rough me up on the dance floor when I was shit-faced.


Nutz does a mean Borat impersonation. Skin's actually a softie in person. They both loved it when Mad kept trying to wake them up at 7AM. Those two are pansies when it comes to drinking. The highlight of my time with them was watching "native bush" on the Discovery Channel.

We played catch with Tarlam. He said it was his first time doing so. I think he was lying. He's a natural TE--although he'd prefer to play C. Tarlam likes to get pissed though. However, it's the Australian version of pissed--which means he likes to get drunk.

GBM is a nice gal and wonderful host. Ziggy kept everybody in check. Hard to believe, I know.

Madtown is a real sucker for dogs. He just loves them. Partial has his back when chicks punch him out.

Bretsky's a real prick in person. He's the Earl Anthony of wii bowling though. However, I think I went Agassi on him in wii tennis--although my memory is hazy because it was 5AM when we played.

Wish I could have spent more time conversing with some of the other folks.

We did a lot of this:

I've lived in Wisconsin in November. October sounds real good to me.

I think for next year, the easiest way to decide is just to say "THE 4th home game" or something. That way, when the schedule comes out, you can call for a hotel immediately.

The voting thing (the game, not the month) IMO was a waste of time because the people who voted for the Bears game didn't even come. Unless none of you fessed up!

[GrnBay007]

I think next year we do a November game. mad was bitching about the humidity, well I guarantee there will be none of that in Nov

That weather was very unusual for Oct. It was 88 degrees here on Sunday and two days later 65 degrees.

Now watch we vote for the 4th home game and it turns out to be the Bears... :P

Next year we should all chip in and rent a suite or a condo. That way we can go out to the bars and not have to go our seperate ways when we get back. By the time we get back, we can wake up passed out Tarlam and start playing some beer pong or something. In that situation, picking up a cheap keg would be well worth it.

Then again I shouldn't talk because who knows where I will be financially next year. Certainly could not afford to do that this year. I might just sleep in my car again

[MJZiggy]

We could rent out the 18 rooms that GBR has downstairs...Bretta could sleep on Mad's head. It would all be good.

[GBRulz]

LOL - Poor Bretta. Just trying to show Mad some affection and he yells at her. Bastard

[woodbuck27]

My God, sounds like you guys had a hell of a time. You guys take any pictures?

If I ever come in the next few years I'm going to need two things- A plane ticket and a fake ID.

DAM. Just a suggestion BallHawk.

Do not rob a bank before you leave Florida. Old Milwaukee beer and Brats are inexpensive.

I'm sure that by now the Hilton has fixed their 'glitch', but we did get our four day stay for $89.00 per night. (which included cooked to order breadfast!)

Making mulitple reservations for different dates.............the hotels we called all had nonrefundable, paid in advance stipulations. How did you get around that?

Maybe for next year, we should just choose a conference team, that narrows it some.
All things considered, we did pretty darn good. What was the final count of PR's in attendance, for any or all of the weekend?

Nice deal!! The way we got around that was to make the reservations BEFORE the schedule came out because they only do that on game weekends and without the schedule they don't know when they are.

I counted 14. Is that right?

[Joemailman]

The only problem with planning around a date is that we might hit an away game. That would suck. But October was a good idea for the month I think.

That is why I suggested booking a hotel two weekends in a row. When the schedule comes out, you cancel one weekend.

how does that work with the bye week? Our bye this year is week 7. Last year it was week 6. 2005 it was Week 6. 2004 it was Week 8. I'm not seeing any established pattern here!! It would suck if you guys booked two weekends of hotels, where one is the bye week and the other is an away game.

I think next year we do a November game. mad was bitching about the humidity, well I guarantee there will be none of that in Nov

Booking hotels two weeks in a row might work, but it would need to be relatively early. Packers bye weeks have been occurring in weeks 6-8, which usually occur mid-October to early November, and the Packers bye week is often followed by a road game. So you would run the risk of getting bye week/road game during this period. The best time would probably be late September/early October. The deeper you go into November, the greater chance you have for cold rainy weather, which is okay when you're partying inside, but not so great for tailgating. Also, the third weekend of November could cause conflicts for deer hunters, although it might be easier to get tickets for that game.

I would be really scared if anyone who went this year was a deer hunter!!

[Tarlam!]

I woudl be more then happy to rent a big ass room like Tarlam and split it with a few peeps. His shit was like a apartment more then a hotel.

Hey Aussie, any chance you can post a pic of your PackerRats autographed football? Tar had a official NFL ball that we all signed. It was the shit.

I offered my floor space up, but I got no takers. Ya'll thought I was just BSing, huh?

Mad, my daughter has our camera with her and will get back home next week. Shots of "The Ball" will follow!

Ras, you WOULD have fit right in, man! I missed your cool presence.

Serious shit, I think Aussie's floor was cleaner then the bed I slept on. Had I known you where an international player I would have jumped. Especially after finding out it wasnt much difference in price. I paid $100 a night for my shithole and you paid like $166 a night for a palace.
