  • Cubs Con 2012

    I figured I would set this up as a thread to document my experiences at Cubs Convention 2012.  Had to deal with tons of loud obnoxious Cubs fans and huge crowds for a few moments of “oooh, look at that guy” but I did get to meet and talk to Pat Hughes and that was pretty cool.  Here’s the first day’s blog from our site.  Thanks for letting me share.

    Updated with some Day 2 stuff.

    Updated with our wrap-up.  It was fun but I’m not sure it’s worth full price.

    Last update: the opening ceremony.

      And the wrap-up is attached now. I stayed home because I didn’t feel like going out to go gaga over BJax and Rizzo again. I know proceeds go to charity and that’s fine, but I wouldn’t pay full price for this.

      How much is full price? I’ve never even bothered to look into tickets for this thing.

You can also just go on single days but no matter what you have to pay full price. He gets four passes for free when he books the Hilton rooms, so he just gave me one.

      (dying laughing) @ RC’s wife

      So my husband is telling me about the Chicago Cubs Convention and the assholes that were in there booing players. Really? You hate them so much that you’re going to fly/drive/train/bus to Chicago, waste money on a hotel and food and the convention, and then boo the players that are going to try and lift the Cubs out of their curse? Man, fuck you, you entitled buttnuggets.

      I think she’s a keeper, RC
