Most BF.netters probably already know Kalle's backstory. If not, check here & here (warning: the first link tugs at the heart-strings).

 

I happened to already be going to one of the games on Kalle's schedule -- Aug. 18 v. PHI -- and I figured I might as well ask him if he'd been invited to a tailgate. I was just assuming he'd have already had an offer, but no one had asked him. He also mentioned that he was very excited to experience a real Miller Park tailgate, so I knew this had to happen.

 

None of the details are in place yet, but we welcome any & all BF.netters who wanted to join! Again this is August 18th against the Phillies (gametime of 6:10p). The tailgate starting time will be ultimately up to Kalle & his wife, but I'd guess sometime in the early afternoon would work.

 

I've already been planning to make sure the grill features 'the sausage race', and we'll have plenty of Wisconsin beer on hand. So please RSVP here, and/or share any suggestions!

Would love to join you guys but I'll be camping that weekend.

I wish I could make it. Make sure you get kalle some Usingers!

I'm torn -- do we honor the sausage race & go with Klement's? Or do we go with Ueck & Usinger's? I guess you could get Klement's inside the park... so maybe Usinger's is the way to go...

Kalle and Rosanna are going to seven games in seven days. It's not like they won't have other chances at Klement's in that span. Does that make it easier to go Usinger's?

 

Incidentally, if any of you has club level access on Thursday, August 16, Kalle and Rosanna will be sitting in section 323 with me and my S.O. Tom. Stop by and behold Kalle's first live Brewers game!

As of right now, the plan is for me to arrive at appx. 3pm, when the lots open. We'll just be in the general parking lot (Uecker/Yount), and my aim is to arrive early enough to get a parking spot in the first row or two so we're easy to find.

 

We'll have an awning -- not sure what color yet, as I'm borrowing it -- and if anyone has any questions he/she can feel free to shoot me a PM.

I should add that at this point I'm expecting this to be a total group size of maybe 8-10 people. If more are interesting in stopping by, please post in here or PM me asap, so we'll know if we need to get more food/drink.

Do you need some cash, or for anyone to bring anything?

No cash, but if anyone wants to bring anything, feel free!

 

We'll have brats/sausage, drink, & snacks (including some cheese curds, of course) for a group of 8-10 or so.

This thread in the Off-Topic Private forum lists Kalle's seat location for each game in the Phillies/Cubs homestand. (This way, if someone stalks him, we know it's a member. ;) )

If you're attending any of the Phillies or Cubs games and want to give our own kalle8 a Brewerfan shoutout, check out the thread so you can stop by and say hi to Kalle and his bride Rosanna.

Will be at the game Saturday, but we are meeting other 'seat' friends (other partial season seat holders that have seats near ours) before the game for some food.

 

(edit) Plus the wife doesn't want to get there that early. :ohwell :rolleyes

You knew me as Myday2001.

I think 9th inning relief drama gets you pretty close. Plus you have at least six more chances to witness a blown save. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of multiple blown saves in a single game - not this year, not this team.
