The Padres FanFest is on Saturday 2/12. I won't be there, which is a shame because we were going to put on a blogging clinic in the handicapped stall of the Men's room.  Maybe next year.

I think the plan is for Gaslamp Ballers to meet up at 3rd base at 11:30am. This isn't a mandatory event but some of you have expressed interest in having a common meeting spot and it worked well last time we did it.

Don't forget that Season Ticket Holders enter early at 9am with a voucher.

Here are some highlights from last year's FanFest to act as a fluffer to get you excited for next week:

• I'll tell you my two favorite activities at Friar Fan Fest - Gaslamp Ball
  Video of us catching pop flies in the outfield, tales of triumph.

• NL Western Division Champs banner has a new owner? - Gaslamp Ball
  Jon making an interesting purchase at the Padres Garage Sale

• First Look at Padres Giveaways! Lunch box, Floppy hat and Eckstein Bobblehead - Gaslamp Ball
  Sneak previews of giveaway items are reason enough to attend

• Padres uniform vote ends in a tie between Brown 1978 and White 1984 - Gaslamp Ball
  I really like the Padres Forums. Even if the topic isn't that interesting the psycho fans asking questions about why the Padres traded David Eckstein make up for it.

• Open Thread: Friar Fest Survival Guide - Gaslamp Ball
  "I definitely recommend the tour if only to get the chance to spot some jocks."

Also the schedules for autographs, clinics, forums and activities were released today:
