Another fantastic Hangout Night, everyone! Seriously, these things are the greatest.

The Nest is an amazing set-up for us. Props for getting that set-up. I got to see my first in person grand slam tonight, so I'm still stoked.

Go O's!!!

The wife and I enjoyed meeting a lot of OH gang and Yes, The Nest was a great place for a get together. Can't wait for the next one.

Had a great time tonight (even if I am still shivering a bit!). Thanks again for setting these up! It's great watching the games with such knowledgeable fans.

I don't know that I got to meet you tonight, but definitely next time!

I wouldn't go that far. I was sitting like, two seats away.

I meant "knowledgeable fans and J.D." My bad.

It was nice meeting a lot of you tonight. Great game, great pre-game set-up. Another awesome Hangout Night!

Can't wait for the next one.

Had a great time tonight! The Nest is awesome for us. I had the Pudge BLT, the thing had like a POUND of bacon on it! Great time at the park, our section really pumping up all the sections around us. Grand Slam and an O's win. It doesn't get any better. I'm now 2-0 on Hangout Nights.

Good to see so many Hangouters at The Nest, and again at the game itself. SilentJames was firing up the crowd and everyone had a good time as the home team was outstanding yet again. Go O's!

[Tony-OH]

I'm the glad the people who showed up had a great time, and I'm sorry a personal situation came up that forced me to leave before many of you showed up. However, it's terribly dissapointing to hear about how many people did not show up who said they were going to show up. The Nest went all out for us and I'm frustrated with the lack of people to show up to the event we put so much time and effort into advertising and setting up.

Honestly, I'm disappointed in the community and honestly, if this is the kind of turn out we can expect, this will be the last year for Hangout nights. We go out of our way to put these things together and we find a great place and about 35 people show up?

I know it was cold out there last night, but the season is young, Guthrie was on the mound, and it was our first Hangout night of the year.

Thanks to the people who came out and supported Hangout night. We're happy that we obviously have a good core group of people. We know who our true local Hangout community members are and we appreciate your support.

Sounds like there was a decent crowd there...

[Mashed Potatoes]

I had a great time and so did my friends. The schedules and car magnets were a special unexpected treat. Thanks to all of those who helped organize it.

There was, but there was also room for plenty more.

The set-up really was fabulous. The staff was also very friendly and really appreciated the partnership. Also, the bartender poors a perfect glass of Guinness. Needless to say The Nest won over a faithful customer anytime i'm downtown before a game.

BTW, our good friend Nestor was there and talking to a lot of us for a while. That was quite interesting... Believe it or not he was actually a pretty nice guy. As Silent James pointed out to me last night, i'm probably the only one here who has ever said that, but oh well. To each his own... It doesn't mean I agree with him.

EDIT: To be clear, Nestor was at The Nest hanging out with us, but he went to the Blast game not the O's game--for reasons we all know, but don't quite understand.
