Miss You Guys

Hey All,

As you guys continue to write about the SC trip, I realize how much I'm gonna miss you all (and most of all Ted). Gayness aside, I wish I could have made the trip. Luckily, I should be having a good time this week also. I'm leaving tonight for our family fishing trip. None of us are master fishermen, so we were more concerned about assigning booze to people. I was supposed to bring Brandy, but my Grandpa is, so I went with a mini-keg (reminds me of Ted's Dorm room).

Update on Life:
I'm still job hunting. I spend about an hour a day looking for openings (and am mostly depressed). All I keep on hearing is how baby boomers are gonna leave a brain drain and there will be so many openings. I wish they would all retire then and start collecting social security so I can get a job. I continue to work at my internship. I've applied for a couple corporate government relations jobs, a city management job (in a f'd up city), a GAO job, and a couple research associate jobs (budget and policy analysis). I'm really hoping to have something by the end of the summer because I think my internship might let me go then.

Molly and I having been dating for nearly a year now. She's been in Italy for a study abroad program while I've been running up obscene phone bills.

What Else?
Can't think of anything.

Peace out - Have a good week
I expect 1 drunk phone call (repeat 1)

Chris

hey now

Teddo, my man. I have no wheels. Its tough to convince a fellow to hand over the keys of his car for 4 days...heck, I had trouble getting you to hand over your keys for a trip to Martins! But your enthusiasm moves me. And I absolutely cannot wait to hear what you were doing on your computer at 4am, though I think I have a solid theory.

Good news is that Tim and Sarah are probably driving down next Wednesday. I should be able to hitch a ride with them. I will need to work some things out with the job, however. My boss is out of town next week and im supposed to take over...ill need to see what procedure is.

So, if we show up Wednesday evening. I know we have to leave the beach house on Friday, but could be crash with one of you Carolinans at your apt Friday and/or Saturday night?

trouble

It looks like I might not be able to afford the trip. $712.00 is best I can find. I will be checking the "last minute deals" constantly...I really want to make it out there. Is Charleston the only airport that works?

Axford, when you make it down to Maryland, give a call.

Terrible News...

What's up everyone...How are things going?

I've got some pretty terrible news involving Charleston, SC. I'M NO LONGER PLAYING THERE!!! I was demoted a few days ago to Staten Island and just got here two days ago. They want me to become a starter here to get more innings. So I guess that's a good thing! Cause in Charleston I wasn't going to be gettin any innings because they had 3 guys that needed to get 2 garunteed innings every third day. Add those guys plus the starters and our closer, that only leaves about 4-6 innings every 4 game series for the bullpen to use up. So the Yankees sent me here cause they want me to pitch more and they want to see me more...so a good thing...but bad in the sense that I won't be around this weekend to partay!!!

And just for the record...Greg and I were basically neighbors in the same apartment complex. He lived in 103 and I lived in 106 (just upstairs in the same building...the 100 building). And we never got to see each other once!!! I"m pretty bummed about that. We had different schedules obviously cause I dropped by a few times and no one ever answered and then when I came back later from games all his lights were off and didn't want to disturb...

So basically I suck and won't see you guys now. I didn't even see Pat who only lived about an hour and a half away!!!

On another note, I was diong well in Charleston. I had a 2.95 ERA there and my overall minor league ERA now is 3.24. I'm in the New York Penn league here so you should check out the schedule and see if anything is close by. We travel to Maryland, Vermont, and Ohio also!

Take care everyone....I'm out. And I expect a drunk phone call or two this weekend!

Peace


AX

Beach

To follow on Pat's emails, I'll be in town and I should be able to leave work at 5 or so on Friday. If it's any trouble for you, Pat, I can easily pick Sam up since the Airport and the Base share runways (it's pretty convenient). Teddo, same goes for you if Pat has any trouble I'm available to help out as well. My number is 262-442-2473, so feel free to call. I should be seeing Sundy this weekend when I'm in St Louis for my brother's wedding, so I'll ridicule him for missing out on the week down here. Sam, John, Ted, Ax, and Pat you are the not lame ones in the group, so cheers to you. Chris and Jonathan, you are lame. Anfernee, we'll drink to you, brother.

See you guys soon.

Address

The address and house phone number are

408 E Arctic Ave
Charleston, SC
(843) 588-261

And my cell phone number is 864-275-2622.

The house is a 4-story house that borders the first road behind the beach AND the second road behind the beach. When you're taking the only road into folly beach, folly road, you go as far as you can towards the beach (the Holiday Inn will be right in front of you), then take a left and go about three of four blocks. Make sure when you park your tires aren't on the road. There's more parking if you go around the block to the back side of the house.

See y'all next weekend! Anybody have any ideas or requests on what kinds of debauchery and/or cultural events we want to engage in? I recommend "The Island Shag Club" and "Planet Follywood" for places we can stumble home from. I figure we'll check out the Charleston bars one or two nights (hell, Greg and Ax might have a better idea than me about what the good bars are), and maybe once or twice during the day we can go to Charleston if any of y'all want to go shopping (fag!) or see some of the historical whatnot (nerd!). Oh, the slave market is a must. If anyone can guess the most recent year a slave has been sold out of that market, I owe you a coke. We can also rent surfboards or kayaks, or if we all pitch in we could rent a boat to go out on the intracoastal. Input, anybody?

9 days until the beach!

Hey Pat, call me crazy but I actually decided to drive in. Now that I look at plane tickets, if I'd gotten them in advance it probably would have been the same price as driving, but oh well. If I leave Friday morning, I'm guessing it will take me about 10.5 hours, so I should be there around 8-10PM. Can you give me the address and your cell phone number (I got a new phone and don't have your number anymore) either here on the blog or on a private message on facebook? I'm bringing my camera AND camcorder, and I want to see pictures like the fif (guess the reference there) one down on the right on the blog page.

To everyone who can't make it, we'll have a few in your honor and then drunk dial you afterwards, and to everyone who will be there, I'll see you soon,
Ted

That is to say...

Just to clarify, we have the beach house from Friday, June 22 through Friday, June 29

Come on down!

Yeah buddy, I'm looking forward to seeing you... come on down! Friday evening, if you can. I have my last day of work that day, so I can't really duck out early... so I'll be pulling into Charleston between 7 and 8 to open up the beach house. I think the airport is about an hour round trip from the beach house, so if you're getting in anywhere around that time I'll probably just leave a little later and pick you (and whoever else can make it on Friday) up on the way in.

So yeah guys, we're on! We have the house from Friday to the next Friday, the last week of June. Greg and Axford will be in town, obviously; Sam, you'll be able to make it for the weekend, is it?; Ted, you've got tickets?; and John will meet up with us mid-week, I take it. I'll drink one Keystone Light each for Chris, Sunday, and Anthony.

So yeah, Sam, just let me know when you're getting in (ahead of time), and I'll plan accordingly to come pick you up. Ted, you too: when are you getting in?

Alright guys, look forward to it!

Love, Pat

SC

Hi,

I just got cleared for a weekend in SC. Im going to try to find a flight in on Friday or Saturday next week. Is this thing still happening?

Update on Anthony

Hey Guys,

I just got a message from Anthony asking where I'm going to be and updating me on how things are going. Needless to say it's rough over there, and he's lost a couple of his guys which is something I can't imagine. However, being Anthony he's doing good things and despite all the difficulties he's getting by. He asked me to say hi to all of you for him, since he doesn't have much time for the internet and whatnot.

As for things here, I'm looking forward to seeing whomever is coming in three weeks. The beaches are waiting, and they're packed with extremely hot young women. Ax moved here a little while back, and from what I understand he and I live in the same apartment complex, though I haven't had the chance to see him yet nor have I been able to see him play.

I'm heading to St. Louis for my brother's wedding in a little over a week, and I'll be seeing Jonathan and Katy, which should be fun. That's it for me, but hopefully I'll be seeing some of you soon.
