UPDATE: If you are having any issues with signing up, you can email me or drop a line on the USSM folks. Derek provides some tips:
- If you don’t want to pay through Paypal for whatever reason email us and we’ll work something out.
- If you’re bringing a guest, email us with the name you donated under and your guest’s name.
- If you paid through PayPal via check, you don’t show up on the list until the check’s cleared. This takes a while. Please do not email us about this. We can’t make checks clear faster.
- If you paid and your donation doesn’t show up instantaneously, please do not email us about this. Give it some time.
- If something went horribly wrong, email us.
------------------------------ ORIGINAL ENTRY ------------------------------
To be held at the Seattle City Library, Central Branch on the afternoon of Saturday, January 10th. Scheduled to start at 1:30pm and last until around 5:30pm or so.
Guests will include most of the LL and USSM crew who will be on hand to answer any beer related inquiries.
Guests you might ask baseball questions to include GM Jack Zdureincik's top two assistants who he brought over from Milwaukee; Tony Blengino, our new czar of statistical analysis and other goodies and Tom McNamara, our new scouting director and possible Strasburg selecter.
The schedule for the event is simple, Blengino and McNamara will be there for a large, if not the entire, period of time. I cannot stress how awesome that is.
Cost is at the bargain basement price of $10. Click the pledgie icon to sign up. When you do, please DO NOT check the box to donate anonymously. We need your name to appear so that we can keep the list straight at check in.
Do it! Do it now!

It's almost like you schedule these thing specifically so I can't go.
JI - December 29, 2008
Seriously, all they had to do was make it one week earlier
seattlebruin - December 29, 2008
Then I wouldn't be able to go.
mark sobba - December 30, 2008
I think I messed up
I donated but I didnt see a place to put my name.
Robert - December 29, 2008
If you used your paypal account
It will pull your name automatically. I think you’re on there unless there’s a different Robert who already paid too.
appleshampoo - December 29, 2008
I used my paypal account, but didn't log into my pledgie account first.
Fuckity fuck, I’ve got receipts! I really want to hear what these guys have to say.
Kermit. - December 30, 2008
If you have a receipt, you'll be fine.
Though if you could drop a line to the USSM email address stating what you said above, it would help just for accounting purposes.
Matthew - December 30, 2008
Actually, you show up on the list, so don't worry about it.
Matthew - December 30, 2008
If I donate $20 can I reserve two spots so I can bring a buddy of mine?
aws - December 29, 2008
Yes.
Matthew - December 29, 2008
First one of these I've been to.
With the new management in town, can’t pass it up. I will probably not say anything and just soak up the goodness. Assuming there’s goodness, which if there isn’t, damn it.
appleshampoo - December 29, 2008
Signed up for myself plus one
It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these. Can’t wait.
katal - December 29, 2008
So Stoked
Signed up for two, cant wait!
Seahawks124 - December 29, 2008
I'll donate, but please don't make me pay $10 every time I ask you about beer.
Kirsten Schlewitz - December 29, 2008
You can pay me in beer or cookies instead.
Matthew - December 29, 2008
Don't think just do it! NOW! Don't Think NOW! 3 2 NOW!
So they’re just there so we can meet them and just ask them questions?
And can I hand the money there?
Slurvey - December 29, 2008
No can do. Work just so happens to overlap with 2.5 hours of it
Mariner John - December 29, 2008
I'll be there.
May overlap with some work, but don’t really give a damn if I’m able to make most of it.
JY - December 29, 2008
Please stop reminding me how much I suck.
Teej - December 29, 2008
I get in for free, suckers
Jeff Sullivan - December 29, 2008
I could stage a holdout but I decided that the financial well being of the blogosphere was far more important than a measly 10 dollars
Robert - December 29, 2008
Ms. Jeff gets in for free too, suckers
Jeff Sullivan - December 29, 2008
Since when?
Graham MacAree - December 29, 2008
Since try and stop her
Jeff Sullivan - December 29, 2008
This could be an amusing game
Graham MacAree - December 29, 2008
She's taller than you
Jeff Sullivan - December 29, 2008
I am maliciously inventive
Graham MacAree - December 29, 2008
Like a Killer Dwarf?
johnbai - December 30, 2008
I though he was a boggart.
msb - December 30, 2008
A killer dwarf?
Llewdor - December 30, 2008
This
johnbai - December 31, 2008
Like you would contribute anything to the Q&A anyway
Jeff Sullivan - December 29, 2008
If he asks a question it'll be mustache related
JI - December 29, 2008
On the Q&A
is it nerdy if I am already working on my questions?
mark sobba - December 30, 2008
Someone needs to ask McNamara how he decides
who to draft when multiple players have similar batting averages or ERA.
katal - December 30, 2008
I'll try to get the day off work, but no guarantees.
I’d love to go, but working on weekends, living 90 minutes away in Bellingham and not having a car complicates. I’ll play it by ear.
Benne - December 29, 2008
^complicates things.
Benne - December 29, 2008
I paid, yet I'm still not seeing my name on the donor's list
katal - December 29, 2008
I'll look into it.
Matthew - December 29, 2008
Did you pay with paypal or with an e-check?
Matthew - December 30, 2008
That's it
It was an eCheck, so it’ll go through in a few days.
This baffled me all last night and occurred to me immediately this morning.
katal - December 30, 2008
Maybe that's why mine hasn't gone through.
I did paypal, but it was supposed to take from my bank account.
I have the receipt in e-mail form either way.
JY - December 30, 2008
Argh.
If I can just find someone to sub in for me in the jazz band I’m in I can go.
BrianL - December 29, 2008
Same problem here. Except different instrument.
.Taylor - December 29, 2008
The lameoraus rex isnt a instrument
Robert - December 29, 2008
Awful.
And hilarious.
Teej - December 29, 2008
I'm bummed I'll be out of town
I bet this one will be great.
Edgar for Pres - December 29, 2008
Excellent.
My payment is in. This sounds like its going to be a great event!
batura - December 30, 2008
And done.
Goose - December 30, 2008
audio?
Living out of the area sucks. Any chance of audio for us out of towners?
I’d be willing to donate just for that.
Andren - December 30, 2008
I'll buy them a damn video camera and train a monkey to operate it.
I’m always sad to miss these events, but especially so this year.
Teej - December 30, 2008
I'm sure there are a few monkeys you can chose from already.
Kirsten Schlewitz - December 30, 2008
JI - December 30, 2008
Generally there is a agreement to keep things said private so the individuals are able to speak candidly.
Robert - December 30, 2008
and to give potential recappers leverage over their reading public
JI - December 30, 2008
There are recappers?
Robert - December 30, 2008
Smuggle in a video camera?
johnbai - December 30, 2008
I wanna go too...
Stupid living in Connecticut and school in Massachusetts not letting me go to Mariner events
p00lshark - December 30, 2008
To echo Slurvey's question
Is there an option to pay at the door? Like maybe charge $12-$15 if you don’t prepay?
johnbai - December 30, 2008
Getting clarification on this. Will update the post when we figure it out.
Matthew - December 30, 2008
Email us at USSM
We’ll figure something out.
davidcameron - December 30, 2008
Huh?
What’s USSM?
johnbai - December 31, 2008
ussmariner@gmail.com
katal - December 31, 2008
I fucking hate you all.
I sit here in Chicago, desperately wishing I could attend. Alas, the combination of airfare + hotel + losing my job for skipping it in the middle of a major deal + the $10 price tag just doesn’t add up for me.
I hope to read a good comprehensive report at the very least.
esoteric - December 30, 2008
Somehow I'll be there
Corco - December 30, 2008
That sounds like the title to a particularly bad Mariah Carey song.
pdb - December 30, 2008
hmmm
In that case: I will attempt to be there, somehow
Corco - December 30, 2008
Not better...
Now it sounds like a Whitney Houston song…
PositivePaul - December 30, 2008
I'll leave on a jet plane and end up in Seattle, somehow
I’m fine with sounding like John Denver
Corco - December 30, 2008
Sounds more like the Box Tops.
Aaron Campeau - December 30, 2008
I give up
Corco - December 30, 2008
Apparently that's a Heart song
You are going downhill fast
Edgar for Pres - December 30, 2008
Daggummit
Corco - December 30, 2008
I didn't mean to create this particular monster
pdb - December 30, 2008
So for us losers who cant make it
Where’s the after party? I wanna get fucked up!!!
RED29 - December 30, 2008
TBD
Jeff Sullivan - December 30, 2008
Somewhere with lots of delicious beer
Graham MacAree - December 30, 2008
And hookers!
Robert - December 30, 2008
Yeah!!!
Pre-Op transvestite hookers…
RED29 - December 30, 2008
Are there any other kind?
Aaron Campeau - December 30, 2008
Post-op?
JI - December 30, 2008
Not on my dime.
Aaron Campeau - December 30, 2008
Twickenham?
Graham MacAree - December 31, 2008
at least there'd be rugby to watch for those of us not hooker-inclined
pdb - December 31, 2008
You just ruined my 'hey there's a position in rugby called hooker heh heh heh' joke
:(
Graham MacAree - December 31, 2008
I thought you were going with a miningham joke.
Robert - December 31, 2008
I assumed you were better than that
pdb - December 31, 2008
Maybe I'm not seeing a response to this asked earlier...
But I donated for two of us – I still don’t see our names on the list, and I didn’t see anywhere to put names when I donated. Pledgie is a strange animal to me. I do have my PayPal receipt, however, so….
section331 - December 31, 2008
Did you pay by eCheck?
katal - January 1, 2009
Can someone do a re-cap for me and email me the private info?
I was thinking of going as the flights were very cheap, but I couldn’t get the time off of work. I hate missing out on these things and a recap would be fantastic, but I appreciate the need to keep some info private.
EnglishMariner - January 1, 2009
Hell
yes
Corco - January 1, 2009
I wish I could go to this, but getting there is kind of a problem for me.
This would be a great way to see inside the new Mariners front office. I’m angry I can’t go.
