The chatroom is always open, it's just an issue of whether people will show up.
I'm sure they will, and I will be providing play-by-play again this year for those who can't watch the game. The only problem there is that flood control, if I type too quickly, kicks me out of the room sometimes. There probably won't be a software upgrade for Friday, but maybe later on.
. On second thoughts, it's likely that I'll stay up until 3.30am. I am so ramped about the new season that even listening to a preseason game gets me excited. Luckily, it's a Friday night, so there's nothing to do the day after (other than get up, eat and go to pub).
She'll be kicking me out of bed to do the washing up, do some laundry, put some clothes on and then meet friends down the pub. If I'm a good boy, I'll be allowed "to patsfans" and dissect the game.
Hey I will be there, it's the night before my vacation but I can't miss it. Sadly they don't play next weekend like they usually do, so I will miss that one.
