I go to Sunday afternoon games for just that reason.

Sounds like a minor league game would be preferred by most members. I'm fine with that.

Hey! Great ideas everyone. I am so happy to see so many minds thinking for one goal, FUN!
So, we have a few months of empty calendar space, and need some good times to fill the long winter! I would love to see someone take on an event or two to fill the months!
Some great ideas have come through this thread and I think that we would love to see some happen! So look at the calendar and make some plans...Let us (me and Jay) know if and when you want to plan an event and we can help you set it up!

I agree, for many of the same reasons. Besides, there are several minor league teams around here, which means choices when it comes to the direction to head. (I'm hooked on the Potomac Nationals, but mainly because they are only about 3 miles from where I live!)

Can't put next year events until 2007 comes. Calendar won't accept events.

If there's interest I'd be willing to organize that one.
Sounds fun. Maybe have a GPS Scavenger Hunt

I will look into this. Whom has the DCMM banner? I think I saw in on Jeremy's car @ the last parade.

You have three choices - you can drop it off at my house in Arlington VA (PM me for the address) or you can drop if off at my work in Washington DC (Four Seasons Hotel in Georgeown) or you can bring it to the breakfast at MINI of Towson on the 18th and pass it back to me.

Second, maybe switch the Penn part of the route a little, put some twisties back in up there and forego the memorial this time around (unless they get building the permenant memorial super fast)?

We had some twisties planned in the original run before we added the memorial. We can do it either way (memorial or twisties) in 2007, depending on what the group prefers.

We're also planning a "MINIs - Almost Heaven" run for the spring that will run from Cumberland to Spruce **** WV, tour Seneca Caverns, then back to MD. LOTS of neat roads in this run.
