I will address many of the issues later, after I talk to the Parks Department and find out when we are playing. So whether or not a player slides on the blacktop could be a big moot point. I thought their database system would prevent scheduling conflicts, but we have the same time slot on the blacktop as a softball league. Obviously, we could have played from 6-10 last night, but we didn't know that, and we have no guarantee that some other league won't show from 8 - 10. Plus, the permit faxed to me showed an overall different schedule than the on I'd tediously sorted out for over an hour and a half with the Higher Powers.
However, we must play when we get a field. If we get the lights from 6-10, that's ideal. We knew that in February when we got them. But, if we must go from 4-8, dems da breaks. I not going to pamper teams as if they're composed of Dennis Rodman, Michael Jordan, and Anna Kournikova. Attendance was down yesterday? Sure, I'd also like to point out that it was our first ever July game, and people start going away more often and for longer periods of time. The Head-Hunters didn't just saunter in at 6, as they weren't able to play yesterday. There was also confusion about where and when to play. If people just don't want to come at four, that's fine. But if anyone thinks they can just arrive at 6 (or whenever) and get priority treatment, trust me cracka, get to the back of the bus.
Again, as of Monday night, I do not know what our deal is, in spite of all my conversations with the Parks Department. BUT PEOPLE MUST REALIZE THAT 6 - 10 IS GOLD. GOLD THAT MANY PEOPLE MINE AND PINE FOR. THOSE FRICKEN LIGHTS ARE RARE AND DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN. But hey, maybe we'll get 'em anyway.
As for the website, yes, I conquer it needs revamping, so, as Franz states below, please feel free to contact me if you can help. I was never jealous of the Orphans website, but always bewildered. But, I don't think BK's website foreclosed sponsorship. Initially, the most obvious sponsor was Brooklyn Brewery, but they turned me down in February, citing budgetary woes. People promising to help didn't. But-Fuck it, teams managed to sponsor themselves. We've had a great season so far, let's not forget that. BK is in its infancy, and we already have had so much fun, success, and happiness. Sponsors will come, as well as more fields, more nights and room for every borough and Hudson County to represent. In three year's time, we will be an Empire. Quote me on it. Mind you, we have the rights to newyorkkickball.com for reasons other than cybersquatting.
Lastly, NOBODY FUCKING PAID LAST NIGHT! So, every team owes double next week, and they will all pay when they arrive, nice and sober-like. However, I'm offering a $16.99 discount to any team giving me a shirt.
Again, stay tuned.......
