The final countdown!!

Wow...it has been so long since I made a post...and time is running out!  With just over a week until the season starts, it's clear that our bold prediction of making a July 4th finish date was just that...a bold prediction.  Furthering the notion that we (or I) are eternal optimists, I actually lost $15 to my older daughter Rian who bet me that we wouldn't be finished by August 15th...yeah, missed that one too!  Anyone want to bet whether we'll be ready for the season? 

There is so much to talk about in terms of updates, but frankly most of this would be really boring to everyone else...except for me and Jeremy.  So let's stay away from construction updates ad nauseum and focus on what's important...the tailgates!  We'll save the boring stuff and maybe some life lessons we learned for a post mortem. 

So here's the update:

- We will be tailgating the Miami game in a little over a week, and every game there after!
- We've started a Facebook page which you can like and follow us on...we don't have much content on the page now but that will surely change.  www.facebook.com/TheOTeamTailgate.  Like us!
-  We've also opened a twitter account  @oteamtailgate.  Follow us!
-  We'll be keeping both sources up to date with our tailgate plans and of course our adventures each Saturday.

So what about some other big news?  It occurs to me that we had plans for a big reveal with the exterior design, but at this point the first time people will see it will actually be AT a tailgate.  Who knows, this might be the worst kept secrets in the long, esteemed history of tailgate vehicle reveals.  So why not...here she is in all her glory!  We think it turned out awesome!!

One other thing that should help build excitement..as if that's necessary at this point:

We just bought a full time season parking pass for the top part of the Fawcett Lot!  This is the same area we're in every year, but instead of being on the grass, we'll be in the actual lot...this will allow us to park much closer to Olentangy River Rd. which makes the walk to the stadium a bit shorter.  Should be a nice upgrade!

This won't be the last post on the Blog, but likely one of the last...Jeremy and I will do a post mortem about our progress over the last 8 months...but for now, it's time for Facebook!  See you on the flipside...
