Normally, when I write this Bullshit, I am going through a kickball hangover. Now, I am just flat-out fried.
First, I will update the website. It only looks screwy on Macs, and so it will get fixed. Really, though, it's priority none, and the website has served its purpose for this season. What is Paramount is everyone knowing the deal for the new schedule. It's not as easy and Pavlovian as every Sunday night from 6-10, but hey, we'll always have field time, albeit trucated to 2 hours on the grass for 2 hours, just for one month. But we have a new venue: the blacktop across from the Turkey's Nest, on the corner of Bedford and 12th. We'll play on the blacktop for 2 hours, starting at 4, then at 6 we go back to the regular field. AGAIN, the blacktop deal is only for one month, then we get 4 full hours back at the regular main field.
Everyone, be careful on the blacktop. There is no sliding. Anyone thinking about risking it, don't bother: if you slide on the blacktop, you're out. Wear protective knee and elbow pads. Furthermore, it's embarrassing seeing so many injuries: so fucking stretch before and after the game. I've seen more injuries in one Kickball season than in 5 for Ultimate Frisbee, and those cats run constantly.
To All the Teams: start thinking about the playoffs. During the post-season, we will honor the National Anthem. Jens and I will hold tryouts. But, perhaps everyone can conceive of some some good pre-game ceremonies. Write a team song, do a dance, or at least a sporty shimmy. Prance around the field with your team flag. Make bets. Fuck around in a prodcutive way.
Lastly, 4th of July was a blast, (the best fucking rooftop summer party ever!) and thanks to all our Orphan hosts. Almost every team represented: god those are the moments I'm happy we started all this shit. A Public Sorry to Tom for bellyflopping over the bar, and thanks for not kicking my ass. The Mark has been a Cornerstone for Kickball and I could wax on as if Dostoevsky fucked Ralph Macchio about how much I love and appreciate all the good times over on Manhattan and Green.
