UYE – Telgueit + Béisbol!

Um hello 5 stars is a duh. Lets see what happened that day:
Ozzy came to scoop us up
Melissa informed us of «Olive Garden Guy»
We drove around the entire stadium to find the other Unilocalers
We found them
There was a huge truck with horns on it playing music. Awesome.
We were drinking
The Grill appeared and brought Danny
The kids appeared and brought Gina
Beads Appeared (No Boobs required)
Pictures were Taken (Loads)
Meat was being Held
Patrick had gallons of Beer
Tom Grilled MEAT
People were being hand fed
Melissa was drunk
Mike was cute
Got inside after like 10 hours trying to get tickets. considered staying at the tailgate ahahaa
Melissa disappeared only to reappear with «Mandals»
We witnessed history being made apparently haha
We danced in the stands
We smoked in the stands…
There were fireworks
A tambourine was FINALLY acquired
We departed and moved onto Sandbar, Then Melissa’s house, then home
OMG add all that together and it is so far BEYOND five stars its ridiculous!

Ask me about my weiners!!! is what i would ask Danny as he held on to the lil plate with all the food and was being fed his chicken breast. Thank you Mel. :)
This was a perfectly executed UYE with all the goods in place like Liz’s brownies, the beer, the food, and most of all… the cool peeps.
It was also a historical game for the Phillies pitcher with his no hitter. Pretty effin amazing i must say. The game went by pretty fast and then all of a sudden we are all dancing (ahhem…) salsa… lol…
This would really be cool to repeat this again before the season is over. Thank the weather behaved itself also.
On to the next one…

Being the host (co-​host with Danny F., really), I feel a little ashamed giving this event 5 stars but I had such a kick arse time that it deserves every one of them.
Thanks to Tom’s driving *ahem* prowess, we made great time and arrived at the stadium a bit after 4:30, before any Unilocalers (quite the miracle for someone like me who is always on Latin time). We munched on some delicious corn chips and amazing corn dip –courtesy of le Tom — while we waited on Danny for the grill. We had the brilliant idea to park next to the gigantor pick-​up with the Venezuelan folk music, which was hilarious to nobody but the sis and my fellow Venezuelan, Anna Christina P., AKA AC, and me.
Thankfully, we bullied Danny into bringing the grill, besides the high probability of rain. Thanks to Zeus, the weather was in our favor and the heat was uncharacteristically tolerable for a Miami May day.
The beer flowed, as well as the conversation and the food was bountiful. Thanks to Tom The Grill-​Meister, Danny The Sous-​Chef and all who showed up with their dips, beers and fun spirit! I had the pleasure to personally meet Unilocalers whom I had never met before (Patrick, I didn’t get to try your beers but I guess we are even cuz you didn’t try dessert… next time) and other new people which is always fun. My usual Unilocalers made it out and I wanna to thank you all for such a great time. I love you, all!
By the time 7:10pm rolled around, we painfully came to the conclusion of wrapping up the tailgate and make our way to the ticket booth. Tailgating was so fun we just wanted to stay there for the rest of the game. Boy, am I glad we didn’t! It was the 20^th perfect game in MLB history and though we lost, we were all part of history!!! After what seemed an eternity (I think they performed a background search and credit approval) we made our way to our seats. We made it in during the 4^th inning and were soon singing Take Me Out to The Ball Game. The Marlins lost but it was cool to be part of history. We stayed for the fireworks, Jerry Rivera and Luis Enrique and some salsa dancing.
Overall, an amazing UYE and ball game with amazing people and delicious foods. Thank you all for coming out and on to the next one! I will keep you posted.

I keep saying this but, seriously what are the chances that both of the baseball games I’ve ever been to have BOTH been no hitters? Crazzzyyyy…
This UYE was so fun it rocked my socks off. Thanks again to Liz for putting it together, and to Tom for being the grill master that he is. I’m going to hire him to cook all my food from now on.
Gina, the wine was under 3 bucks?! I’m sad I didn’t get to try it, but I heard it was drinkable from some of the other folks that were there.
The day was perfect for grilling and tailgating! None of that intolerable SoFla heat. It’s like the stars lined up for us. Beers and food aplenty, great company, and a game that will go down in MLB history, topped off by fireworks and some Super Saturday Salsa!
We’ve gotta do this again!

Another awesome Unilocal event.
I got there shortly after the first carload of Unilocalers arrived. In short order everyone else rolled in, the grill arrived and was heated up, the grilling was done amazingly quickly, had some good conversation and laughs with some of my favorite peeps, sampled some really nice beers compliments of Patrick, sampled a $ 2.75 bottle of wine compliments of Gina, and then it was time for the game!
We got to our seats at the top of the 4^th inning, and the game seemed to go incredibly fast. I guess when you have two excellent starting pitchers, that’s the way the pace works out. After the game they had a decent fireworks show and then the concert.
Good times, and we were all witness to what was only the 20^th perfect game pitched in MLB history! There are 4 months + left in the season, we gotta do this again once or twice before the season ends!

My kind of event. There was food. There was beer. There was a stadium parking lot. A perfect game was pitched, only the 20^th ever in the hundreds of thousands of games in major league history. Even I, as a Marlins fan, had to give Halladay a standing ovation at the end, after I’d vented frustration at my team’s inability to muster a single baserunner. Josh Johnson pitched very well, allowing zero earned runs, but that does not matter when the other pitcher throws a perfect game. Oh well. That’s baseball.
But back to the tailgate. It wasn’t surprising that Liz and Tom did this up right. From the grilled chicken to the quiche to the watermelon to Gina’s hummus + chips, the food was outstanding.
Obviously, the beer was flowing — this would go without saying. And you guys were good sports with my oddball beers I was making you try. I also tried Wal-​Mart Wine for the first time… and I was forced to admit that it was actually drinkable, as I had figured it would taste like Boones Farm or something.
Hmmm, I see that there were brownies, which I’m sorry to say I missed. It’s possible that I was too looped at that time to even notice.
The weather was surprisingly tolerable — warm, but not anywhere near as hot as it could be in late May. The sun was behind a towering cloud, and there was a nice seabreeze. I would definitely do this again.

After a couple nervous phone calls from the gang as to my whereabouts, I get to the stadium in one piece. Thank you, Lord. I arrive with the grill, and we immediately proceed to the cooking.
I’m not sure if you guys know by now, but Tom knows what the hell he’s doing. So I have no problem being the sous chef and holding a plastic container he used to toss the grilled food in. For about 45 minutes. Everything was cooked to perfection, of course. I would know from the 3 little pieces of chicken I was fed.
Overall, I had a great time. Thank you for the food. Thank you for the beer. Thank you for the watermelon. Thank you for brownies.
Thank you to the famous Liz for putting this together, and thanks for everyone who showed up!

The weather gods favored us
The grill arrived
The chips were there for my dip (thanks Patrick)
Patrick brought a plethora of strange beers which he kindly shared
The kids behaved
The chicken was delicious! The wings went fast. Thanks to the Master Unilocal Chef (Tom) and his Comis Chef (Danny). Thank you to Liz for keeping the fun and momentum going during the lead up to the event here online. What a fun time and of course a memorable game! My kids dont realize the significance of it yet but I’ve already put their tickets away for them for bragging rights when they get older.
Oh yeah. I DID bring beer.
