Hello all!
I sent this to the whole list just to be sure I did not miss anyone who
is confirmed. Again, the dinner is full. Sorry for the length - but
you all know I am an aspiring author and like to write!
TICKETS: I had a suggestion from last year and thought it a great one.
I will be at the arena at 12:45 pm (1-1/4 hour before the game). I
will be there until 1:45, at which time I will be going inside. There
is a large electronic sign/Jumbotron at the State St./ 4th Street
entrance to the arena. I will be somewhere under it. Most likely I
will have on my black leather coat, jeans and be carrying a small black
purse. I have short dark blond hair and am 5'9" tall. Of course I
will be the one looking like one does when waiting for a blind date.
(LOL)
(If it is raining, I will be just inside the State Street doors to the
left. I don't remember the arena layout, but will stay as close to the
windows as I can.)
If you plan on picking up someone else's ticket, please communicate
that to them, so they are not disturbed when I don't have a ticket for
them. I will be jotting down your name if you pick up another person's
ticket, so please be patient as I hand them out. I expect a lot of
folks from about 1:30 - 1:45. If you don't get the ticket outside, I
will be wandering around somewhere behind section 421 at intermissions,
or just get them when you get to the bar.
BAR INFO: The room is straight back from the front door. You will go
back by the bathrooms and I have been told there are a pair of double
doors there (I think they said to the left) - that is the entrance to
the room. Most likely, I will be just inside. If not, just wait and
watch for the woman who looks like she is really in a hurry and
stressed out. (I am not really stressed, I just look that way when I
know I need to get somewhere!) If you have your ticket and get there
before me, just show it to the wait-staff - they will know what they
look like. I should get there first, as I will be leaving the arena
the moment the buzzer sounds at the end of the game.

DIRECTIONS: (2 ways to go)
Down State Street (toward 4th Street & the river), east. After the
river, go 4 blocks to Milwaukee and take a right (south). Go 2 blocks
to Wells Street, go left (east). Flannery's is on the right (south
side of street), about 1/3 block down.
--or--
Go down 4th Street (south) 2 blocks, then turn left (east) on Wells
Street. Flannery's is approximately 6 blocks and will be on your
right. (Watch for Milwaukee. The bar is just past it on the right)
Below is a URL that is a great planning tool. Just paste it in and
when there, scroll down to Flannery's and click on the MAP button on
the right. You will get a map of downtown and can follow my routes to
the bar. You can also see other bars and shops.

Well, I think that is enough. I leave Tampa at 7AM on the 3rd. If you
need to e-mail me, do so by Sunday the 2nd. I will not have my
computer with me on the trip.
Thanks.
