I wanted to get this down while I remember it all:
ASPHALT KICKBALL
I've been hearing complaints about the neccesity of playing some of our games on hardtop with the oncoming time-switching and all. While this obviously come with its own set of limitations (like no sliding), I think we need to look at this in a different way: first, let's not forget that in school we'd play kickball on the macaddam. As adult sports go I think a good comparison is tennis: sometimes you play on clay, sometimes on grass (anyone who knows me knows that I like doing things on grass).
1. Stretch before you play on hardtop. We aren't 16 anymore (most of us, physically at least). SEE NURSE BETSY.
2. Wear running shoes/sneakers that supply some support and springy bounce.
3. Long pants?
BROOKLYN KICKBALL ASTHETICS
1. I hereby call on the Orphans to help make a better website for Brooklyn Kickball. The site is now too ghetto for what has become such a splendid league, it looks like my mom made it with an old version of pagemaker. Nothing too fancy or time-consuming, lets just make it *nice.* I'll meet y'all whenever/wherever.
2. On the same note, its time we get our pictures together. Website photos first, trading cards next. Someone who knows something about something, get/bring a digital camera. Holla!
3. Orangesleeves, its great to be ragtag, its sooo rougue-ish of us, I know. But lets get it together just a teeny bit. Sweet Pete, the Dob Kings have better uniforms than us. The pirates manage to have a uniform look without wearing identical uniforms. Granted, they probably borrowed a few pieces from their little sister's goth outfits, but lets face it, they showed up on day one looking ready to play ball, or at least hoisten the mains'l or whatever.
JULY 5 KICKBALL AGAINST BUSH
It looks like the jeep's broke down, but I am still going to try to get a car and give people rides from GP/WB. But if not, we should still split cabs, use P.T., whatever it takes. We should do this, despite hangovers, its important for a lot of reasons.
Thanks for reading
