May 31: DTBF at Shea Stadium

On Saturday, May 31, I’ll be heading a group outing to a Mets/Dodgers game at Shea Stadium in New York. I will be wearing my other hat (literally) as the director of Soy Happy, which many of you already know about. Rather than going into a description about Soy Happy, I’ll defer to the website and let you check it out, if you’re interested.

Anyway. It’s through Soy Happy that I came to know Patti. (That picture up there is of me with Patti at an A's game a few years ago.) I was speaking at a conference back in 2001 and she introduced herself afterward, expressing her desire to help and to take action in her own region (D.C./Baltimore area.) She became my Soy Happy Manager for the Orioles and then for the Nationals, as well. When I returned for an Orioles game outing a year later, she played driver and guide to me. We’ve been solid friends ever since.

So. Back to the outing. On May 31, Patti will be joining us at Shea Stadium. We’re there simply to enjoy an afternoon at a ballpark, partake in veggie dogs, chat with a group of great folks, and simply be....soy happy! Dan Piraro, creator of the comic strip, Bizarro, will be there, too, along with his amazing wife, Ashley. As I wrote on the Soy Happy site, he’ll join a group that includes a noted residential architect, a fabulous flamenco dancer (that would be Patti!), a custom vegan glove maker (recently voted in by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum), an MTV video award winner, a former 3-time Little League All Star, an attorney who pro bonos for animal cases... and many others!

It’s as much about Daring To Be Fabulous as it is about being Soy Happy, so I invite you to join us! Contact me at johanna@soyhappy.org if you’d like to get tickets. You can also read more about the Shea outing by clicking on that link.

DTBF!
