FTF's "Night at the Tank" - Tickets Ordered, Venue Chosen, Fun Guaranteed

Ladies and gentlemen, it's party time. Even the TV in the background says so. Get down wit cho bad self, TCY from three years ago.

I didn't think this was going to come together so quickly, and so well. I honestly thought I would be saddled with debt from you losers, looking at 46 tickets to a game right after Christmas while living in a cardboard box.

While I may still be living in a box come December (no guarantees), I won't be going to this game alone. 46 FTF peeps will be celebrating Boxing Day together by watching the Sharks pwn the Ducks. Magical.

The party starts early, as Plank and myself will head over to Firehouse #1 Bar and Grill at about 4:30 PM. I gotta give mad props to Firehouse, because they'll be sponsoring our event with drink specials ($3 drafts, $3.50 wells), food specials ($3 appetizers), and a sound system to do an FTF raffle (prizes will be discussed later, but will probably include some FTF gear, some swag from the bar, and possibly some original FTF artwork). Doesn't stop there, though... we'll probably be rolling back afterwards for some post game spirits. Even if you didn't get tickets through us, you are welcome to attend the FTF Party at the Firehouse. If you're not 21, I think you will be allowed in before, but not after, the game.

In addition, some of the FTF veterans have agreed to sponsor commemorative buttons (pretty much this one, with a unique design to show that it was from this event). If you are an FTF veteran (Lurker and Ang have already agreed) and would like to help with the cost, let me know. We hope to give them out at the event. We're still looking for a design too, and we're opening that up to all readers. Let us know if you have an idea.

For all of y'all waiting for your tickets, they will be coming to the addresses you provided me with once I get them (could still be a few weeks). If you don't want them mailed, you can 1) Pick them up from me 2) Get them before the game.

I don't know about y'all, but I can't wait.

Operation Photoshop Party!

TCY was missing the 80’s rock band he tours with so I had to oblige.

In all seriousness though, pumped for this. Should be a great night.

The jacket is actually dyed from the blood of a unicorn. It guarantees a win, but only once a season. Maybe save it for the playoffs?

My my my my… This does look to be quite an awesome time… I can’t friggin wait, and I have been talkin up my buddies about y’all and they are thinking that they are going to have a blast as well (they are just as die hard as myself, but actually hate computers and blogs). Soooo what would constitue an “FTF veteran”?? If you guys need some scratch for the pins, I could prolly sponsor a small chunk of the price (e-mail me with details) if you guys would have it. Anyways, can friggin damn wait for this night to come, I normally HATE the holidays, but FTF is going to make this holiday weekend one to remember. Bring it on!!!!!!!

Sounds like a blast! All the “under 21” activities, so before the game stuff, I’ll definitely be able to do – with bringing my boys, I’m sure they would object to me leaving them in the car while I have a good time. :)

I was about to ask...

…whether I could join even though I didn’t order tickets through you guys, but then I noticed:

Even if you didn’t get tickets through us, you are welcome to attend the FTF Party at the Firehouse.

Fucking awesome! I’m going to see if i can get a ticket or two for the 26th and join y’all.

Now, you can follow my uninteresting life on Twitter.

Should be a party.

We should see if we can get FTF greeting on a scoreboard for intermissions. Wonder how much it costs.

Also, I may be able to contribute some prizes to the raffle. I have some photos of our players I can get printed and get autographed, if you peeps think you’re interested.

I’m trying to work it out that we also get a audio announcement/shout out over the PA system. My buddy, who will be coming, knows the sound tech who works the games

$3 Drafts and appetizers?

I LOVE the sound of that. This is gonna be off the hook.

I would get them as soon as you can, because prices really skyrocket once the season begins, especially around winter break. Throw in the fact it’s Anaheim and you’re looking at $80 a pop.

Well I had no expectations … but knew big or small, it would be a blast … just make sure the before events can include minors pls … :)

I’m looking forward to this … will be good to 1) see Sharks kick ass … 2) see old faces and 3) new faces …

GO SHARKS!

So it sounds like we’re going to get to see some of that tag team action. This is not going to end well.

Hmmm...

…considering that I don’t know whether I’ll finally find a job by then, I didn’t get tickets. If I go to the game I’ll definitely come to the party before and after though!

Not for sure yet...

my sister has tickets for the game. I might be able to go but she likes to sell tickets and make money… how selfish!

I don't know.

It’ll probably be last minute thing. Last season she said we could go to the playoff games but she realized she could sell them for 4x face price so we didn’t go. Her reason for this was, “Don’t you guys want to go to round 2 or 3 or something? This is just round 1.” I think we all know why we weren’t able to go to playoff games…
