hR Tailgate Thank You

[hail2skins]

I want to thank everyone I met today at the tailgate. I had alot of fun even though we (rskinsfan10 and I) couldn't be with you before the game.

Great job to DJ and Patrick for the banners they created. They were awesome.

Great job to my bro Kenny for all the organizing and work he put into getting this thing done. Great job Kenny.

I have to give a special shout out to Keisha, Kenny's wife for taking care of everything at the early tailgate. Thanks alot honey. She had help from Trina who is a trooper as well.

JoeDaSchmoe did an excellent job with the video football. I think we have something here Joe. We'll have to talk about this. That was a great idea.

The other band members kept saying how nice everyone was that they met and how they really enjoyed themselves and they really enjoyed playing HTTR for you before we headed into the stadium.

This event will only get bigger and better each year and I'm glad we started it off right. A win would have really made it good but we had fun nonetheless.

Thanks to everyone that came out.

I want to also thank those who couldn't make it because you kept the board alive. Great job to all those who kept providing updates in the game thread. Awesome job.

This is best damn Redskins website there is and it's because of all of its members. Great job and keep it up.

Your bra Kenny? :p

[hail2skins]

A comedian used to use bratha man. That spelling is closest to the pronunciation.

[Patrick]

It was a great time. Nice meeting everyone. Can't wait to do it again!

[JoeDaSchmoe]

For those of you who are completely baffled as to what "video football" is, Mike is talking about Madden 2004. ;)

Anyway, the tailgate was great, I know I had a blast. Props to everyone who organized it, especially Kenny and Mike, who put in the most work and didn't even get to be there for most of the pre-game tailgate.

[PennSkinsFan]

I had an outstanding time except for not being readmitted to the game int he second half. I hate Redskins management, hate them with a passion. Other than that, man, it was fun, it was great meeting all!

Kiesha thank youso much for the warm hospitality. We all can say thanks, but we want ya to know we truly do appreciate everything you and Kenny did. It was an awesome time and i can assure you next year, my butt ain't leaving at half time!

[hail2skins]

Thanks for correcting that Joe. I was a little inebriated last night and couldn't find the words, LOL.

Who emerged as the winner?

[PennSkinsFan]

and man how can i forget my man Dorsey! Mucho thanks to you pal.

I'm sorry Mark man that's bad. But are there any stadiums that allow re-entry?

[PennSkinsFan]

I have never, personnally been to one that has not allowed reentry or i would not have left. I have honestly never heard of that. I dunno abiotu NFL, but man, place liek Penn State, hell everyone bolts at half time to tailgate then come back. Oh well, nothing i can do about it now!

[hail2skins]

Yep, lesson learned.

[Emmanouel8]

I know Sun Devil allows re-entry.. Hell all you have to do is wait till the Cards get their a$$es kicked then all the fans pour out by the half throwing their stubs all over the parking lot. You could pick it up and go right in.

[AGibbsGirl]

Just wanted to add my big thanks!!!
Especially Keisha for saving me something to eat from the hoards (A girl could get hurt standing in the way of men and a great grilled sausage!)

It was a blast with all of sitting to together, THANKS KENNY!

Too bad we lost! But I had fun

PS: I did warn you about my brother...

LOL, Lorri (with two "R"s)...I enjoyed your brother's company! We need more fans like him in stands!

A big thank you to Kenny and Mike for organizing the tailgate.

The greatest thing about this tailgate, was the fact that everyone was welcoming and cordial. I had fun talking to EVERYONE!

Looking forward to the 2nd Annual Tailgate!

BTW - for those of you who didn't attend...the biggest topic of conversation before and after the game was Champ Bailey's contract! lol

[Spence]

It was a great time. Thanks to Kenny, Keisha, and Mike D for organizing it. Thanks to Mike P for the name tags. Thanks to DJ and Patrick for the great signs. Thanks to all the members for showing up. What a great success. We must do this again.

[rskinsfan10]

You guys are all most certainly welcome. Just remember this though. Without you guys attending it wouldn't have been the success that it was, so I applaud you all for showing your interest and coming to the party.

Sorry that Mike and I were late. For those that I didn't tell, the confidential Redskins business was actually the filming of a FedEx commercial that will feature the Funky4. The shoot was supposed to occur last Friday but Isabel made sure that wouldn't happen, so they decided to shoot on Sunday. Sorry about that folks. I don't anticipate any commercial shoots next year.:)

[dj_stouty]

When you initially said you had to attend a "secret meeting", I thought for sure that it was to practice a halftime show that included a retirement of #28! Maybe next week?

[rskinsfan10]

Haven't heard anything about a D. Green ceremony but when it happens I promise that you and you only will be the first to know Mr. Stout.

BTW, thanks for the banner and name tags, and tell the wife it was a pleasure to meet her.

I though this as well...

But a commercial with the Funky 4? Now that's one I will actually watch!!!!!

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

im glad to hear that you all had a good time at the tailgate. im not missing the next one......

[lakewinola]

A late start out of philly and traffic prevented me from stopping by to say hello at the tailgate. I'll remember to leave extra early for the next one. Sounds like it was a blast.

Spence, I was only passing them out to people as they arrived. I want to make sure that the proper people get the props. And that should go out to Mark and his wife Sara. (Mark=DJ Stout)

[hail2skins]

Yeah, excellent job DJ on those name tags. Give Sara my thanks as well. Next time, we'll have car bombs. The drink Mark, we're not going to blow up your car.

Yes, Lorri, your brother was a cool guy along with you and your husband. Great talking to you guys.

Everyone was tremendously hospitable. DJ it was great chatting with you and Sara. PSF, you da man. Great chats and nice levity provided with the trunk slam in the keys while in deep Skins thought debacle. Ryan and Greg are cool too. Mike P, great talking to you, man. Thanks for lending Mom and Rob chairs. Mike and Kenny, you guys are just great. Good gabbing with you and developing comradry.

Spence, you left me holding the bag after the game with the great Champ contract debate. I had to dine on some crow solo after that Toomer play! Great talking to you and your girlfriend. I loved the run over and cutoff off the Giants fan's attempts to reel her over to their party. Funny.

Patrick, Namvet, LuvSkins17, Keino, JoedaSchmoe: great gabbing with you, getting pumped up for the game. Just sharing the experience in general. Hope I'm not forgetting anyone. Again, Keisha and Trina were just great. It was handshakes and hugs all around at the end of the night. Couldn't have envisioned the tailgate going any better. I probably forgot some people, sorry. Absolutely everyone was cool. Now the game, that was another story........ yet somehow didn't overshadow the day at all.

[LuvSkins17]

Trena aka "sis" hooked me up at the Redskins store with her 20% discount and helped move us (NamVet and his wife Roz) around the stadium and to our seats. She was the greatest. We need her in our backfield the way she was finding holes through the crowd.

Thanks for the ride to the shuttle pick up point JDS! We made it there with 2 minutes to spare.
