Topic: Chicago Cubs Game at AFTE 2011

[Jessica Copeland]

Hi AFTE!

I may have missed it, but I did not see a scheduled AFTE outing for a Cubs game....

There is an Astros at Cubs game on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 at 7:05 in the evening.

I was wondering if a group of AFTE-goers were getting together to go to the game?

Thanks so much!

I posted a blurb about the game on the homepage a couple of days ago.  Unfortunately, due to cost constraints, the Host Committee was unable to make it an official event of the conference.

As a northside Chi-town girl forever and always, I would definitely be up for trying to go to a Cubs game.  Probably last minute in case something else came up, but it would be nice to try and go.

I'd be up for it as well, but I'd have to go out and buy a TX Rangers shirt first.  Gotta support the home team (like the Oklahoma Sooners) while visiting other ball parks.

I would love to catch a game too.  Is there anyone local who would be willing to get tickets?

[Stacey Hartman]

I am very interested too.

[Mark Keisler]

As a die-hard Cubbie fan I too am interested.  Believe we could catch the L near the hotel.  Mark

Besides myself, I know of four other examiners who have bought tickets and will attend. Hopefully someone can share the easiest way to get there from the hotel after Tuesday's session...

Hi all, the NJSP contingent (5 people) is going to the game on Tues. night.  We already have tickets and we are in section 137, rows 1 and 2.  Hope to see you there.
