I was disappointed to miss the opener and the TBD tailgate. It's always a fun event.
But I couldn't attend Tailgate X for economic reasons along with the fact that I didn't have vacation time to spare from work because of a stint on short-term disability earlier this year. It had nothing to do with the organizing or location of the event, which is always terrific. I have the feeling the crappy economy was a factor for others as well.
If I'm still employed next year (knock on wood), you bet I'm coming. I miss seeing TBDers. Best group to see a football game with.
