| The Brill Baseball Field is now a venue on FourSquare, as is the Wagon Wheel. If you're not familiar with foursquare, you can check it out at www.foursquare.com.
Also, if you're on Twitter, you should follow @BrillMillers and tell your family/friends to as well, I'll make sure to update right after games and let ppl know of any new info.
If we can get enough people to get signed on to this type of thing, we can send out messages reminding them of game days and give updates when we're on the road or when there are weather delays. Hopefully it can turn into a way to stay more involved with fans and maybe get more people to the park. Also, a good way to better support our sponsors who stick with us despite bad economic times.

| Dirct from Foursquare.com:
"foursquare is a cross between a friend-finder, a social city-guide and a game that rewards you for doing interesting things. We aim to build things to not only help you keep up with the places your friends go, but that encourage you to discover new places and challenge you to explore your neighborhood in new ways."
From what I see it has a few purposes:
1) to see what you're friends have been up to by looking at where they "checked-in" and where they are now
2) to find cool places to go, things to do in your immediate area, once you download the app, you can look for places near you and show you. Also, it will show recommendations from people who've been there before. For example, if you go to Wagon Wheel in Brill now on foursquare you will see that I've recommended the Fish Fry and beer in a frosty mug, if you were a stranger, you would now know that that's a good thing to get.
3) to interact with local businesses, if you "check-in" at a place several times, more than anyone else, you can become "the mayor" of that location, if the business understands what foursquare is and values your patronage, they may offer special discounts to you
