And Now, Time For A Brief Commercial...

Far be it from us to toot our own horn (aside, of course, from the existance of this website, the fact that we gave away hundreds of stickers of our logo and that you can buy our t-shirts), but it's that time of year again: plugging the game-day paper.

For those of you who have been lucky enough to avoid our constant Billy-Mays-esque pitching, we also happen to be hardcore fans of the Blues who sell an unofficial program for each home game. We sell these 28-page bundles of cussing, jokes, facts and joy out on the streets outside the rink down at 14th & Brett Hull Way for a couple hours before the puck drop.

And while that particular group of regulars has grown a lot over the last four seasons, we also have a growing group of subscribers. Subscribers receive an emailed pdf version of the same exact paper that is printed for the game-day crowd. In fact, they look a lot like this: St. Louis Game Time; Vol. 4, Issue 30 (Rangers).

If you're not able to go to the games and are interested in having the paper for home use, the process is fairly simple. Send a payment of $80 for the season (that comes to $2/issue this year thanks to the Sweden game) via PayPal to gallagher@stlouisgametime.com and you'll be put on the distribution list. Be sure to note which email address you'd like to have on the list in the notes section of the payment.

If you're not into trusting the online payment industry, simply email me at the address listed above and I'll send you the mailing address.

Any chance you have a student discount?

Otherwise I might just have to get them at the handfull of games I’ll be at this year. Where outside, exactly, do you sell them?

a student discount would be great actually

NW corner of 14th and Clark, where the small parking lot is.

East Entrance.

Parking Garage Entrance.

Occasionally at the feet of Kung Fu Bunny.

Where am I missing, boss?

BTW, you might want to consider having someone at Kung Fu Bunny, or better yet, down by the Metrolink stop, for every game. I’d be willing to bet you could pull in a lot of buyers at the Metrolink stop.

Here’s the way I describe them:

City Hall parking lot: NE corner of 14th & Clark
14th Street Entrance: right at the seam of the DrinkScotch and the KIel Operahouse
Kiel Garage: 1st Floor before you go down the half-flight of stairs to the entrance
Clark St outside the garage: right by the driveway into the Kiel garage
Metro/14th St Bus station: Near Kung Fu Bunny has been a traditional spot but it has done traditionally bad. We have tinkered with moving this spot to 14th St south of Clark near the bust stops.

No offense to the metro riders in the group, but most of them just spent a dollar on travel and aren’t exactly motivated to spend 4 on an unofficial program. We’ve moved this person over to the bus station spot and it has been better, though it may remain a “big game/weekend game” spot only.

Really?

What kind of dipstick moron thinks he can get away selling a renegade hockey program? You’d have to be so delusional to the point of not even being functional. I weep for you and your children.

so do my children.

Someday you and I will get some other moron in another city to start one of these things and then we can start hazing him.

Wasn't there one?

Didn’t someone in San Jose want to join this train of stupidity that you and I drive?

Let me see if the continuing paycuts keep going...

If I actually get my full paycheck this month (HA), you might just count me in.

I have one question

I have a half season ticket package and I like the feeling of carrying a copy of the best hockey publication in St. Louis with me into the Drinkscotch, not to mention the sparkling conversation I get from the vendors. Is it possible to download the volumes that I am not at the game for? I feel empty watching a home game without it.

Yeah, Id be into a pay as you go pdf version as well. Love all the stats you guys throw together but Id be more like a once a week customer.

Pay as you go

The last couple years i have had a 10 game pack but with all the discount tickets like how i am still a “student” i got to go to more like a 30-half season pack. But this year probably wont go to more than 15 games. I do like buying my gametime there on the way to the game too. But if i pay for the full season then id be paying double for those games i go to.
