    That sucks. Why would they hold it on a Thursday when very few people could go? Don't they want to promote the team?

    I figure holding it on a Thursday might cut down a bit on projected attendance. As it is, I figure it's going to be an absolute <b>zoo</b>.

    I'm still going to try to go, even though I work nights... :p

    Last yr they had something like first 500 fans get autographs and pics with the players. I went last yr cuz it was on the weekend but was way too late for the first 500. :-( If they do, you gotta get there real early.

    They do sign autographs but only for season ticket holders I think.

    My office is 3 blocks away, so I can probably be there with a digital camcorder.

    I am so envious of you guys that can go to the practice. I will skip work to see it if I'm in Houston. Somebody please get some nice photos and some nice signature from the players. :(

    This will be my last Thursday off for paternity leave. I plan to take my ~2 year old and get as many pics and as much vid as possible.
