Print version<br /><br />
of my Mets-themed book Send The Beer Guy now available!

Print version of my Mets-themed book Send The Beer Guy now available!

The actual book-book version Send The Beer Guy is now available!

The book was written (on airplanes) in 2012 and bounces back and forth on the emotional roller coaster that was the 2012 season – the Mets were in first place two days after Johan Santana’s no-hitter! – with anecdotes from my life in the 70’s as a Mets fan, the 80’s as a Shea Stadium vendor, feeling left-out by the team in the 90’s, to blogging in the 21st Century.

The print version is $9.99.

($9.49 if you have Amazon Prime).  The eBook is still $2.99

I hope you’ll pick up a copy and leave a review

 

Re Pricing:  actual books need to be manufactured and shipped.  Of the $9.99, $3.25 will go to me, and from there I am taxed.  But yes this is a money-making venture as is the entire blog.  I get like $2 from each eBook sale.

The print version has a simple cover.  Long story but the short version is it took me two months to edit/format the final 40 pages and I didn’t want to obsess over getting a perfect cover that meets Amazon’s resoluation standards (the pic of my from the 1980s failed several attempts).  That’s on my list of projects.  Again – the cover on the right is the ebook version, the print version has a generic cover.

Pick up a copy of Send The Beer Guy now!

And the eBook version of Send The Beer Guy is just $2.99 (Kindle edition) via Amazon.com.  If you don’t have a Kindle or have never bought an eBook it’s very easy. Just download the Kindle App for your iPhone or iTunes  or just google Kindle for Windows or Kindle for Mac.  If you are reading this newsletter then you already have the technology to get an eBook.

This um Mr. Met Apple something thing exists

The weirdest things seem to catch people’s interest.  I could write 2000 words about something, or just throw up a post like this – and people commented quite a bit about this apple thing whatever it is.   Yuck.

The Mets need to get<br /><br />
more out of Mr. Met

The Mets need to get more out of Mr. Met

I was thinking about how the season is another disaster and how not too many people are showing up at Citi Field. Thus it occurs to me that the Mets need to get more out of Mr. Met.

The Mets need to make sure that every fan who comes to Citi Field has the best time ever. I don’t mean a good time. I don’t mean an ok time. I don’t mean that the ushers weren’t jerks. I mean the best time ever.

Mr. Met would be a good start to that.

Mr. Met does a good job, but is it enough?

Pre-game I see a decent amount of Mister..but then…

I rarely run into Mr. Met in the hallways during the game. Do you?

I almost never see him upstairs.  Do you?

Some have suggested to me that he is very busy and that he is working the suites.  That may make sense for The Business, but it leaves a lot of us common folks out in the cold.

If Mr. Met cannot be everywhere at once, maybe it is time to dust off the Lady Met character.  Let her walk around and take pictures with fans.  Maybe she could pass out some t-shirts to the fans in the uppers (it’s not just the rich folks who like t-shirts).

The Mets don’t have much going for them.  If they are lucky enough to have someone pay to get into Wilponland, they should make sure that the fan has the best time they have ever had.  Getting more out of Mr. Met and family would be a great start.

@mets get with the program and are now #imwith28 again!!!

Nice to see that the Mets/MLBAM/Whoever has gotten on board with the mainstream social media again.

The Mets/MLBAM/Whoever had been trying out some hastags like #DanTheMan but the mainstream twitter conversation uses #imwith28 so it’s nice to see they are just going with that.
