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. -

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

I bought a four game package....
does that count as season tickets? They give you the tour and everything.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
Said, no
But only because I might go to the Parade of Flight instead. It will be one or the other.

If my dad wasn't turning 50 that weekend
I would have tried to be there. Hopefully I’ll make it to a game this season though.

I want to print out that voucher
but at the bottom it says it’s valid for the number of seats in the season ticket plan. It makes me wonder if they’ll be asking for names at the gate as you present the voucher.

$$$
are autographs free or do we have to pay for players to sign stuff? if so, how much for each one, or is it by table (like one fee for each of the two players at the table to sign)? i thought everything was free…i prob should know better.
Will they have baseballs for sale
or is it BYOB

BYOB
just went to the store today. ROMLB balls are $25, and the other novelty balls range from $8-12 or so.
Novelty balls...
Is that what you’d call what Dex has now?

They never see games
But they’re the real deal. Perfect for display.

About $20 for a ball with a case
Definitely worth it. Heath Bell’s ball is safely inside one that I got at FF last year. Balls aren’t as expensive as jbox says.

hell yeah!
They give a limited number of vouchers for each session
If you get a voucher, the wait isn’t bad at all.

I'm definitely coming
and wearing my Penitentiary shirt BUT I shall be autograph hunting too so that’ll definitely cut into my meet and greet
Btw they sign for an hour and the line depends; got Chris Young’s autograph last time and I waited 10 minutes I think. AGone’s was like 50+ minutes. Alot of other guys like Headley/Mjuica/Cabrera had like no line. Just depends who you getting

Does this cost anything? How do I get tickets? etc.
