Attached you will find a PDF with all the information about Hofstra’s Mets 50th anniversary conference which is April 26-28 and is in memory of Dana Brand.

I have been looking forward to this for two years or so when Dana first mentioned it and I had contacted him letting him know I was tremendously interested.

Dana passed away last year but the good folks at Hofstra, and closer to my world Greg Prince from Faith & Fear have carried the torch for what should be a great few days.

I’ll have a lot to say about this coming up – but I’m heading out on a family vacation (@mediagoon will be in charge but I have left 30+ posts ready to go and they are actually pretty good) and can’t dive in tonight (writing this Thursday night instead of watching Community).

So check out the pdf and I hope you sign up and attend.  I’m particularly interested in this panel on Saturday..

WOW!!! Thanks Daniel!!!!!!

Folks, the next campaign for this blog is that we’re going to get this guy voted on to the All Star team. Y’all with me?

This is really awesome. I started the #imwith28 thing on twitter a few springs ago when those meanies in the mainstream media were writing this guy off . I love Dan’s hustle and willingness to play anywhere.

Last year i started hanging out during most of the games on twitter (@metspolice) and started using the hashtag around Daniel’s at bats. I particularly enjoy when Dan is up in a big spot and I tweet “Wait for it….” and then when he knocks in some runs a bunch of us punch in #imwith28.

I hope it catches on even more this summer and enters the lexicon.

Thanks again to Daniel, to @mediagoon for the design, @the7line for making the tees look good and the behind the scenes folks who know who they are and made this happen.

Very very cool!!!! Thanks again Murph!

You guys can beat me up but isn’t Mister’s cap too light? Compare it to the lettering on the jersey. (The Mets are going to kill me.)

At the food tasting event the other night I quite enjoyed these wings.

Some more items from the other night. The photos are blurry because I had a plate of food in my hand.

I keep looking at the photo of the polo and longing for it. It didn’t grab me in person but I was more interested in the chicken. I will have to take a look at this at the Mets store next week.
