Over at CGB they were obsessed enough with anniversaries to remember that today is the 1st anniversary of the extraction of the last of the tree-sitters from in front of Memorial Stadium. There seems to be a push to call this day TURD (Treesitters Untethered and Removed Day), but we’re a little more mature over here at EMFMV and I suggest an alternate name of FETS day (Final Extraction of Tree Sitters).

Let September 9th be forever remembered as FETS day!

Consider this the thread to comment “Where were you on FETS day?”

I’ll kick it off:

I was in New York City for the first time in my life. I had flown from Spokane Washington to Springfield, MA on the preceeding Sunday to pick up my brother en route to the Maryland game the following Saturday. The plan was to take a week going down the coast to see the sites. Tuesday we drove down to New York City from Mass. and saw the World Trade Center wreckage, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, St. Peter’s Church, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Central Station, the Empire State Building and had lunch at the first place to make Pizza in the US. You can read more details here. I had NO IDEA that the trees were coming down until late in the evening when we checked into our hotel and I got an Internet connection and for the first time all day felt really disappointed to be in New York City and not back home. But even still I didn’t have time to do extensive reading until the following evening and didn’t get a post up about it until then.

Where were you?
