March 2007


So here I am, in my FREEZING COLD APARTMENT, watching the NLCS game from 1985 that gave us that wonderful phrase “Go Crazy Folks”. (Got the game off Netflix.) I suddenly remembered that, early last year, I’d discovered the domain gocrazyfolks.com was available. So I decided to investigate and see if this was still the case.

Yep.

So I went ahead and bought it. I mean, at least I know if I own it, gocrazyfolks.com is in good hands and not going to be yucked by some spammer and/or cubs fan. Right?

So now the question is: what do I do with it? All the domain is to me right now is an endless series of unbelievably cool email addresses. If you sent a note to any of the following addresses, I’d actually receive it! Woo hoo!

i_was_born_on_the_day_bob_forsch_pitched_a_no_hitter at gocrazyfolks

Et cetera.

So does anyone have any idea what to do with this new website of mine? If your idea is good enough and you’re non-lazy enough, I may even pass the domain name on to you!

Not the email addresses, though. Them I’m keepin’.

Bet says I should really post a quick little story to prove that this entry isn’t just asking for stuff (more on that below).

But the thing is, there’s not all that much Cardinals-related that’s been going on with my life: I’ve been seeing a lot of theatre, traveling (I’m in California now!), brewing beer, and generally just enjoying the World Series Championship and fitting it into any sentence I possibly can.

And now I’m going to start asking for stuff. I’m here to visit Bet, who is being deployed soon and will miss the whole baseball season. Speaking of missing things, she also missed Game 7 vs. the Mets last year (as she was working). I don’t have a copy of it, and we’d like to watch it together. Does anyone have an email-able copy so we can do so? Or a copy for purchase and/or download on the Cardinals website? I tried looking, but to no avail. Post a comment or shoot me a line at redbirdbrain at verizon dot net and help two Cardinals fans in need!

Help!
