On another note, did anybody notice that after the rally, the field was spotless? Not a piece of trash to be seen. What a respectful bunch of people.

Re: Lone Star Tea Party
Agreed, Great report Joe!! I saw several Hawaiian shirts but not sure if any of them were from this forum. I looked for you in your TSRA cap but never did spot you. I sat in the bleachers next to the third base bullpen for a while, then made my way down onto the field to be closer to the stage. There were several dressed for Wakiki in that area of the bleachers.

Seems to me there is a simple lesson in physics in this instruction...gemini wrote:- Do not go into street and engage traffic at stop lights.
But then again, this is a free country and they are certainly free to engage vehicles if they so choose to do so...
I think I have a box around here with some Darwin Award ribbons to hand out just in case...

Welcome to the party...Drewthetexan wrote:So, as I was in the checkout line with my new outrageous hawaiian shirt, it occured to me that the phrase "I wouldn't be caught dead wearing this" had just taken a whole new meaning. At least I'm official now!
I'm getting the urge to do a little shopping soon, see what the latest patterns are...

Lots of oversize, untucked, and Hawaiian shirts there.

Re: Lone Star Tea Party
Timd, in your 2nd pic in the background, there are 2 white flags: one is the "Come And Take It" cannon flag, and the other is "Liberty or Death". I was standing just to the right of the isle on the observation deck, from the camera's perspective, for a long time...from about 7:15-8:00. Sorry i missed you.

Re: Lone Star Tea Party
Sorry I missed you Joe. If I remember right, it was right around 7:15 when I left where I was sitting and went down on the field to get closer to the stage.
