National Tonkoon's Vacation

[Chuck to Chuck]

Anybody know when Chicago-area kids go back to school?  Little bastards are clogging everything up for me and my adorable Tonklets.

Day after Labo(u)r Day, Sept. 8*.

* Barring any labo(u)r dispute.

Well, that's fucking shit.  I'm going back to Tennessee: the kids there started school again yesterday.

Much later than everyone else--after Labor Day, generally.  Only kids in  the sticks have started school already.

So now its is time for Tonkoon Vacation part 2, electric boogaloo....

While showing Chinatown off to the lovely Thomas family, we figured out that both of us have tickets to the Friday August 7th 3:05 game with the Giants (PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS).  Thinking a post game event at my house would be fun.  I am within walking distance of the park and we can have some food and drink and generally hang out.  Let me know if anyone would be interested....

Is this a thing that is happening? The Tonkfest at Hawkquarters?

This is a thing that is happening  (so far the family of the hour and Chuck and gang are confirmed). 

Getting together for a post-game get together at my place (please message me for address-I am about a 10-15 minute walk from the park (near Belmont el).))  guessing that will be around 6 ish .  Figured it will be dogs and beer or something like that with a later trek to Scooters.  All welcome but please message me so I and MsHawk have an idea of how many we will have.

I'll let you know tonight... sorry for the late notice.

Late notice is fine, we have plenty of beer/wine/malort/capri suns

I know you can take (plastic-) bottled water into Wrigley, and not booze, but what about food?  If I take a bag of Crackerjack with me, will they take it off me?  What about sandwiches?  I know Huey crams Bacci slices into his fanny pack, but I don't know whether he's doing that legally, or sneaking into the ballpark hoping that the pepperoni-sniffer dogs are at another gate that day.

Pretty sure you can get a bologna sandwich in.

You can bring in anything.  My Bacci-in-a-fanny-pack thing was a meme generated by RV, as he has his own concierge within the ballpark and prefers to pay ballpark prices.  No, I flaunted that slice as I walked in.

Crackerjack is terrible and completely unsuitable for human consumption, although not a bad insulation substitute in a pinch.

Yes.  Buy a bag of peanuts from one of the brothers outside of the park.  Cheaper on the outside and all that.  One 5 dollar bag should be more than sufficient for the brood.

Seriously, score burritos from the place just east of the el and take those in. You will be crowned as a hero.
