   Does the beverages include beer?

   Absolutely.

   Oh man, are you guys older Phillies fans that drink shit beer like Coors Light or are you drinking good beer on the way down?

4. Geoff Says:

   You gotta break out the quality beer. most mainstream beer is chemically-infested garbage. coors light would be included in that.

   Phil, have you seen the game threads with recommended beers? Coors Light was purposely shunned from the site during the Colorado series.

   hahahahahaha yeah, I have noticed they are always putting up good beers to drink. I have some suggestions. I’m a bartender and know some really good beer. I’m psyched for this trip. I’m gonna talk to a few friends and see if they wanna go too.

   No Coors Light. Had it this past weekend and I wish I didn’t. Just horrible.

   You all should go, because you’ll all get a chance to see me. (You know, pelt batteries at me, tell me about your 20-something daughter/sister/girlfriend, whatever.) If anything, we’ll talk Phils.

   Ok, so we’re leaving at 10. Who wants to meet at 9 to tailgate the bus leaving?

    Awesome. I’m a Morrisville/Levittown native and lifelong Phillies fan who lives in DC and is a season-ticket holder in Sec. 105, Row D.
    I look forward to seeing the Nation out in force on Labor Day, though I’ll be drinking the cheapest beer possible (see above: ‘Morrisville/Levittown native’).

    Brian, this sounds incredible. Checking the calendar already to see if I can make it happen.

12. Tim Malcolm Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    Shit, Julie, I’m there at 8.

    Well, maybe.

    Looks like kegs and eggs (or some variation) for the morning.

    Low on cash right now, wish I could go.

    Some other time if you have it though I’d definitely be down.

    tim, my dad owns a sports tour company and has a few different phillies trips. some are home and some are away. check out the website www.goldglovesportstours.com. also, if you are interested, i could help plan any future trips you would be looking to take.

15. Phil Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 12:40 pm

    Can we please do a game vs the Mets at Shea? Would like to go there before it’s knocked down.

16. Brian Michael Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 1:14 pm

    There is a Phillies-Mets game at Shea, the Friday after the DC trip. Maybe we can do both.

    Erik, what do you think?

17. dan Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 2:11 pm

    are younger fans welcome?

18. Rob Cowie Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

    Of course. Phillies Nation promotes fan and family friendly environments at all programs and events. Though we can not be responsible for the things seen and/or heard before , during and after the trip.

    But, if your kids are true Philadelphia fans then they won’t be phased at all from anything they will witness.

19. erik Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 2:29 pm

    if you look at the website i posted, there is a mets-phils on the 6th trip already going. if the nation wanted so many tickets i could arrange for that to happen. let me know. search under the mets to see that game.

20. erik Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 2:34 pm

    also, my dad bus trips include tailgate parties prior to the game. hamburgers, sausage sandwiches, chili, chips pretzels, etc. soda and water are provided and a half barrel of beer for each bus of course

21. Charlie Says:

    So you know 610 WIP is sponsoring a Phillies fans take over Shea day. Its going to be September 6th.

22. Phil Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 3:13 pm

    Charlie, can I get details about that?

23. dan Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 5:44 pm

    Haha I don’t have kids, I’m just an 18-year old kid myself. I’ve got some friends who are 17 and I think we’d all be interested in making the trip and I wasn’t sure if it would be cool or not. I’d love to make the trip and become a real part of Phillies Nation.

24. Phil Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 6:07 pm

    Too bad you can’t get drunk with the rest of us. haha

25. dan Says:
    June 10th, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    ill probably make the drive myself and get drunk down there and then hang with the phils nation since i’d rather not be a liability

26. scot Says:
    June 11th, 2008 at 8:37 am

    Can anyone at Phillies Nation make the promise, even this far in advance, that the indomitable Tim Redding won’t be on the mound for the game?

27. Chris Says:
    June 19th, 2008 at 5:58 pm

    Where will the bus leave from?

28. Brian Michael Says:
    June 21st, 2008 at 7:11 pm

    The bus will leave from Citizen’s Bank Park.

29. Mike Says:
    June 21st, 2008 at 11:25 pm

    Will there be the famed $11.00 parking fee at CBP?

    Any word on how bookings have been so far? I am very interested, but have not planned that far ahead yet.

    Go Phillies!

30. Phil M Says:
    June 26th, 2008 at 12:45 pm

    I promised this for my Dad on father’s day. I’m buying when I get paid on Monday. Should be fun for me and the old man, just turned 71! Make sure the weather is nice for me, ok?

Got tickets for Fri, Sat, and Sunday that weekend

36. Elizabeth Says:

    Just ordered two tickets and wondering about the logistics-will they come in the mail? And what about parking?

    Thanks for any additional info

37. Pat Says:
    July 2nd, 2008 at 11:40 am

    I’m signed up with Elizabeth - can’t wait! And I’d like to know more about the Shea trip on the 6th…does anyone have details?

38. Brian Michael Says:
    July 2nd, 2008 at 11:03 pm

    Tickets will be distributed through email. All the record-keeping will be online, so there’s no need to worry about that.

    I will be going to Chicago the weekend before the trip so if anyone is planning to go there too, let me know.

39. Phil M Says:
    July 8th, 2008 at 1:32 pm

46. Mark Says:

47. Brian Michael Says:
    August 4th, 2008 at 12:41 pm

    You are encouraged to bring your own beer, but we’ll have plenty. We may need people to at least bring some coolers.

48. Brian Says:
    August 4th, 2008 at 1:22 pm

    I want to know about the second bus. There will be two, maybe three of us heading down (and if I know there is space, I’ll ask around)

49. Phils Phan Says:
    August 4th, 2008 at 1:38 pm

    Brian Michael- I will definately bring a cooler with beer . Thanks for the input! Also, ordered 2 tickets and did not receive any email confirmation? I’m sure everybody might be asking rhe same question…
    Tickets being shipped via postal mail or email ? and when should we expect them ?

50. Phils Phan Says:
    August 4th, 2008 at 1:41 pm

53. Krall Says:
    August 12th, 2008 at 3:44 pm

    Any idea where the tailgating is occuring. I’m a Philly Terp so I plan on jumping on the metro to go see the game and I know of a bunch of fellow UMDers who almost got kicked out of the old RFK stadium for being phillies phans last summer, we’d love to join the crowd

54. Brian Michael Says:
    August 13th, 2008 at 12:51 am

    We’ll be tailgating at RFK beforehand. Send us an email with your phone number and we’ll let you know the exact location when we get down there.

55. Rick Says:
    August 28th, 2008 at 2:13 pm

    […] and should’ve won every game. But take this win, take the split, and go into Washington (and our Labor Day bus trip) feeling pretty good about how September lines […]
