[Sep 14, 2014] Rams @Tampa Bay (Tampa, FL)

[RamFan503]

Fabric artist? WTF, Stu? You're my hero!

Yeah we have a local artist here in town that also does clothing. She does these other little dresses for Becky utilizing one of our tank tops. So we bought some Rams fabric and had her do another one just for the game. Pretty funny. Becky's a bit giddy to get to wear it. We went and had her do a fitting today. A little tailoring and it will be ready for the trip.

One week 'til we hop on the plane. Now I'm getting fucking giddy.

checked the weather outlook and it tells my 90's with the ever present chance of T storms LOL
same as every other time I head south

Florida weathermen must get bored to death, and get wood any time there is a chance of a hurricane

Trying to decide between my two away jerseys. I have an autographed Grant Wistrom jersey but I haven't worn my Shane Conlan jersey to a game in years.

I havent made my reservations just yet. You guys know I was looking for a date for this event....and luckily I've found one. Turns out my dates father has a boat slipped at some Yaught Club on Long Boat Key, which is just south of Tampa. So she wants to check with him to see if we can stay on the boat. Nothing solid so I might still end up at the Hyatt. I have Monday and Tuesday off so we may just hang around the area and check out some sights. Looking like a nice little trip getting lined up.

I was just there Tuesday for my culinary class... least I think.. Is it the "Longboat Key club" ? lol

My original plan was to drive back home after the game, but it looks like me and the gf are staying in a hotel for the night. We just booked at the Marriott/Courtyard near Tampa air port (right down the street from the stadium).. listed at $69 ($88 w/ tax and everything) for a 1 king bed... works for me lol

You wouldn't really do that to her would you?

 

[RhodyRams]

nooo not me !!

anyway, Christine is insisting that we bring something to the tailgate... so what should it be? chips dip and salsa sound good? and what else?

 

[RamFan503]

Personally I would think anything that is edible. Really good tortilla chips that don't have much seasoning always works for me to go with ceviche. I hate to put more on Georges plate but he might be the one to answer that. I'm thinking if everyone gets there at a decent time, someone could run and get something we might be missing. My guess is - just bring it.

You don't want to be driving home after WE get done with you. A taxi and a hotel room will work in your favor. And a King bed is a necessity when I'm on the road. It'll be cool to meet you after all this time of posting with you. And I won't hold the whole GRob hate against you. JK obviously. Can't wait to meet a bunch of you.

So jacked,

Stu

Lol exactly. And its actually not really for me so much as her - she's a teacher so she has to take the next day off..

Can't wait to meet some of you as well - lookin' forward to it!

We're currently trying to figure out the logistics though of getting the food from my house to the hotel to the tailgate lol...especially since we're both parking at the hotel

nooo not me !!

I honestly don't really know either - I was planning on bringing some stuff from the smoker...so far i've only planned to do 1 or 2 whole chickens and i was gonna cut up some pork loin and throw it into some baked beans

 

[RhodyRams]

well, we will be bringing some chips, dip and salsa, so everyone cross that off their list.
