Thanks again to everyone that came out to Royals Review Fest this weekend, especially CentralChamps2009, Shooter, Dyefan187, AndrewMiller, Royals Nation, Leobloom and loyal2theroyals. (Hope I'm not forgetting anyone.) I am continually amazed by how nice and cool people are. It was really really nice getting to meet people, grab a free blanket (which actually seems nice as hell) and watch an exciting victory on a cool night. (An added benefit was discovering the nicest Applebee's I have ever seen, the one on Blue Ridge just two exits or so down from the K on I-70.) As loyal2 can attest to, I'm a pretty... awkward person, and for some reason, I didn't do much to make Royals Review fest too rewarding. Next year, I promise, I'll have a) better food and b) a special guest. But mostly better food, even if it's bags of Burger King.
Local boy makes good, designs award-winning poster.
I was pretty nervous the first few times I held up the Gload will Explode poster, especially since there was a very rowdy group of about seven dudes a few rows behind me. They seemed to take to the poster, although not without adding another few lines to the phrase, involving another word that rhymes with "explode". Oh well. Jokes on me and my smug face (God, I hope I don't look like that all the time) since Gload exploded for an epic single that proved key to the win.
I wrapped up the evening with my first ever audio post in the parking lot. It was a very 12 Monkeys experience -- remember how Cole had to call a certain number which the future could somehow get -- but technically at least, it worked. It's about two minutes of silly post-game happiness. Here it is:

You should have gone down to find L2D
he was in a very good mood. Not his usual ‘surly vendor’ kinda stuff ;)
Also, I’m…flattered and amused that I am the sweetheart of the community? And I looked up words that rhyme with explode and I couldn’t figure out what you’re alluding to. Unless it was zip codes. Those damn rowdy men behind you, trying to tell Gload that he’s so awesome he needs his own zip code…
And to prove that I was at the game: 
Hochevar in his first major league win!!!
That’s either Soria or Ramirez…gotta be honest when I say I don’t really remember.
Hanging out with Brett. From left to right, that’s me, and my friends Tabi, Addie, and Becky. And because of the base, I look short and fat. Greeeeeat. ;)

Denny Matthews? HA!
Don't Stop Believing!
No, It's that Guy from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
If only he were wearing a hockey jersey.

Royals, NBA, Golden Hurricane, Hawkeyes, Chiefs, and KU basketball, in that order.
Great pictures all
I hate like spit that I couldn’t be there. Hopefully I’ll be able to make the next community fest.
And of course you are our bloggy sweetheart Loyal2.
The sign looks great. I kept looking for it to get some camera time during the broadcast. It is an outright crime that FSN overlooked this work of fan art! A straight crime.
www.rockchalktalk.com for pretty good KU baseball coverage
Looks like it was fun
I really hope to be there next year. Hopefully I’ll be able to swing it.
I probably disagree with you.
Great sign
Really sorry I couldn’t make it. Hopefully I’ll be there next year with Royals Retro Jr.

you're right, Oh, Canada owns
seriously, the Star-Spangled Banner was the weakest contender for the National Anthem. check out Chester sometime and explain to me why our national anthem (As commonly performed) ends with a question.
sorry i missed it, i thought about you guys as i drove…. and drove….
The first thing I know about someone in a KC hat is that they're loyal.
my only grief with how the anthem is performed
is that people turn it into a ballad. When (not if…when) I sing at the K, I will be singing it at a fast(er) pace and not drag it out into a 4 minute ordeal with heavy ornamentation.
On another note, my elementary school’s alma mater is to the tune of Oh, Canada. And anytime I hear it, I have to resist the urge to bust into ‘O Moreau Heights,’ not gonna lie. We used to go to Cards games with school/girl scouts stuff and would somehow manage to get to the games versus the Expos and you would hear like, 20-60 kids upstairs singing the wrong lyrics. It was fantastic.

Maybe I'm lame
Okay, I know I’m lame, but I like a low-key affair, so I had a great time. I’ll bet the fest was the only tailgate with taffy—that’s right, TAFFY! Thanks a bunch for putting it together, Will. It was great to meet you and your lovely fiancee. Hope to see everybody at RR Fest 2009, as, well, we’ll need to start celebrating that championship season quite early.
Sometimes you just gotta roll the potato.
