Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 My girlfriend and I are taking a bus trip up to Quebec to watch her favourite band play (Nightwish). We planned this trip more than 4 months ago- so I was none too pleased when the first game of the WCF was scheduled inside the 8 hour period I was on the bus! The problem is that I don't have an XM radio and the buses don't have internet connections. I'm kinda freaking out because I've got OCD and have have a very specific ritual for my playoff Wings games This will be only the second game I've missed this year (including the preseason) and the other missed game was a regular season one. Regardless... you can imagine how stressful it'd be to be completely out of the loop about the game! So I need someone to text me updates- how people are playing, goals, injuries, etc... If you're concerned about the costs of texting me I can send you a paypal payment to cover it. Just make sure your phone company has reasonable texting rates My texts only cost 10 cents so I'm not so worried about sending them Please send me a message on here and I'll give you my phone number. Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. Marcus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DYags 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 I don't think I'll be around a computer during the game tonight, but if I am this is what I'll do and I suggest everyone do.. Just input Drake's number into you AIM. This way you can send text messages without taking the time to punch it out on your phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Send me your number, I will unfortunately be home at 5:30 California time but I will text you the scores/etc as the game happens (we will probably catch up live by intermission so you won't have to worry about being TOO far behind.

You can sign up for free and gwet text messages after every goal. Its great. I have it on all the time and its great when i am on the road. Ooo, I just checked that out and you can set it to "each goal, each period and final". Good deal, that pretty much covers it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 Hey guys and gals- if there's another Canadian around I could use their help in this just incase my current source has the same problem Vlady had. Thanks everyone! If you don't hear back from me via PM I'm already on the road... so just ask Vlady- I gave her my phone number. I'd post it in this thread but I don't want text spam (some of my friends are getting random text spams now so I assume bots fish on the net for numbers as well as emails).
