R. Rich Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Okay, I talked to the manager at Sliders yesterday and here's what we know so far: They will block off the street for the tailgate, so we'll have access to the upstairs, downstairs, and the outside area again. They will have a beer truck set up outside and there will be a 2 for 1 beer special (probably Yuengling and Miller Lite). There will be a live band; a local band called "Fat Tuesdays". I hear they're good, but I don't know that much about them. We'll have a buffet set up outside with different foods like wings, chicken tenders, BBQ sandwiches, chili, etc. available. Since we expect the turnout to be about twice what we had last time (originally, I thought about 300, but it should be more like 200), we need to have a buffet set up so that we don't overwhelm their kitchen staff. The cost for the buffet will be around $10 per person, which, for the amount of food that will be available and the fact that this is Baltimore, is DIRT CHEAP!! The beer special will end up being about $1.50 per beer ($3 beer-2 for 1 special). Not bad at all. What I'll need from those who plan to attend is some suggestions in regards to what types of food you'd like to see on the buffet. They told me that they can arrange it so that we can have just about anything we like on the buffet, but they do need to know in advance. Please post any suggestions you have, so that I can let them know what we'd like to have. I'd like to get the menu situated soon, so that we can start collecting the party fees (we'll need to make a deposit at least 2 weeks in advance) and get everything set up. I'm also open to any other suggestions you may have that will make this tailgate even greater.

I can check on the crabcakes, but they may be a bit too expensive for us. They'd probably have to drive the price up to do that, but I will check to make sure. We're covered as far as the wings go.
MikeH Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 We're covered as far as the wings go. 8027[/snapback] Is the Wy's Guy supplying the wing sauce like last time??? Those wings were really good.

I haven't spoken to Mark about it, but I am supposed to meet him within the next few weeks. Nothing against their sauce, but it just can't compare to Mark's.
VabeachBledsoefan Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 R. Rich.....everthing sounds great , we look forward to enjoy all the work you are doing, thanks a lot.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Sounds great. Now if we only had some tickets.
R. Rich Posted August 27, 2004 Author Posted August 27, 2004 R. Rich.....everthing sounds great , we look forward to enjoy all the work you are doing, thanks a lot. 8548[/snapback] Thanks for the nice words. So, how many can we expect to see from the VA Beach area this time? You guys were the life of the party last time. Once we get all the details ironed out, I'll post a message over in the Balt/DC forum, because I'll need to know how many people are coming and I'll need to begin collecting the party fees so that I can pay the deposit. That'll probably happen within the next 3-4 weeks.
R. Rich Posted August 27, 2004 Author Posted August 27, 2004 Sounds great. Now if we only had some tickets. 8575[/snapback] I hear ya. There's a good amount of people who have said they'll show up just for the tailgate and will watch the game at Sliders. I plan on getting tickets, but will probably have to go through a broker, as my attempts to get tickets from the season ticket holders I know was not successful.
VABills Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 That's all you've done. The schedule has been out since April and you still don't have this thing fully organized yet. JK...... Good job.

Good job. 8672[/snapback] Actually, we're still working on the guest list. Thanks for helping me on one particular decision.
flomoe Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Does anyone know if there tickets available for this game? A friend of mine (Ravens fan) and I were talking about driving up from Orlando for this game last night. I'm pretty sure I can coax him into attending a Bills tailgate bash as long as there's beer. If anyone knows where I might be able to get a couple tickets, please let me know. Thanks

Thanks 8679[/snapback] My advice would be to check eBay, the Ravens message board, the Baltimore Sun classifieds (available on sunspot.net), and/or the various ticket brokers. The game is sold out, so it will be tough to find good seats at a reasonable price.
VabeachBledsoefan Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 R. Rich....its a bummer..Campy and Mrs. Campy won't make it...its just four of us...maybe five...you guys need to tell Campy he has to go. Our Buffalo friend in DC got us and GG tickets. We'll still have a great time

Unless it's some kind of emergency, they had better be there.

R. Rich Posted August 27, 2004 Author Posted August 27, 2004 Yeah but given their recent history of attending football games, I kind of understand. 8705[/snapback] Hahaha!!! I guess I do, too. I hope that's not the reason they won't be at the tailgate, though.
