THIS IS THE ONLY THREAD TO FOLLOW FOR THE TIDEFANS MEETUP.
Instructions will be posted over the next two weeks for the event and any additional pertinent information.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY TO ATTEND!
If you want to pitch in money or items, that's fine. But please don't think that it's a requirement to pay to come hang out with a bunch of good Tidefans or to eat with us.
DATE: 9 NOVEMBER, LSU vs ALABAMA
LOCATION: Tent 6A located in Presidential Park (see this hyperlink and this one too)
START TIME: 0730 is the earliest you can show to our spot. Last year we showed at this time with no issue. We also used this time to drop off items to the tent. The "official time" to start dropping off items is 0800, but again, last year we did it at 0730. Understand that several hours before kickoff roads start getting closed, and before that you're going to be dealing with nasty traffic in the area. The recommendation is the earlier, the better.
END TIME: Power, TV, tent, etc are available for 1.5 hours after the final whistle of our game. Last year many of us came back and enjoyed some football and dinner at the tent. No reason not to do the same thing again this year. Also, that time REALLY helped with the dissipation of traffic.
FOOD PROVIDED (will be delivered at 1030, so it should be set up by 1100):
Full Moon BBQ
IF YOU ARE BRINGING SOMETHING OR WANT TO DROP SOMEONE OFF DIRECTLY AT OUR LOCATION you'll need a pass. I will post the pass that you'll need to print out and have in your car to actually drive up to the tent in Presidential Park. So if you have someone who can't walk around easily or you have a cooler etc just print off the pass and you drive right up to the tent. Remember though, the earlier the better. As time passes it's going to get busier in the area and I'm not sure what the rules are this year for when University BLVD is closed down for through traffic.
If you feel the need to donate to the cause, that's fine. You can either give it to Tattooguy21's wife (pictured here) or send it via Paypal (tlane808@yahoo.com). AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.
If you're bored and want to know more about the rules of our event per the tailgating authorities, just click here.
PLEASE UPDATE THIS THREAD WITH THE NUMBERS WHO WILL BE ATTENDING AND IF YOU'RE BRINGING ANYTHING. And I'd prefer that you private message any questions, I will answer questions posted here.
