Once more, with feeling ...
That Forest Hills Ultimate game, The Game That Time Forgot, is happening
tonight, 6 PM, Forest Hills Park in Durham - link to a map and beaucoodles
of other details below.
Today's high is supposed to be around 95, and there are chances of
thunderboomers. Be like the Boy Sprouts and do the car horn fixing thing
(i.e., Beep Repaired).
As usual, plan on supper afterwards at one of the fine food establishments
in the area. For the game, bring water, bring friends, bring water, bring
family, bring water. Don't forget water. The heat exhaustion party animals
may well be out in force, along with the fun play-chicken-with-high-voltage
lightning strikes. Here's hoping we remain completely unpartylike.
Forward this e-mail with whimsy and abandon. Carpool if possible; biking is
... maybe not so much tonight. Your call.
Also: don't forget, the game happens on Saturday mornings at 10:30 AM, too.
Lunch after, for anyone who wants to put that together.
The Duke grad students will also probably be having their normal rockin'
game nearby. Feel free to enjoy both.
See you on the fields!

The normal e-mail, with details ...
*Howzit?*
It's good, thanks for asking. More relaxed than league or other pickup play,
it's great for practicing positions you don't normally play, for getting
beginners into the game, for getting together with some really cool people
of all ages (middle school through old timers), for simply enjoying the game
.
*Wherezit?*
The game will be here:

or use Google Maps to find "Forest Hills Park, Durham, NC"
We play on the western (Chapel Hill) side of University Dr., right next to
University; best parking is along W. Forest Hills Dr. Angled parking
(instead of parallel) usually works best for getting lots of cars in.
*Whatzit?*
The Game that Time Forgot is one of the older pickup games in the area. No
sidelines, no stall count, no back of the end zone, lots of spirit of the
game. If you want to run like the wind, folks will tell you that you're
welcome to come out and do so. If you're like me and still need to build up
to running like the wind, we're out there, too. It's all about
participation.
*Howmuchplayingzit?*
Depends. What typically happens is that we have one field going until we get
enough people (and have enough space) to open a second field, which tends to
be an even more relaxed game (dwindles to a single game when numbers drop
again). We're all about playing.
*Whatsafterzit?*
Often, we get together for supper (as mentioned above).
*Whatsthebestwaytokeepupwithzit?*
Join the e-mail group - fhplayers at yahoogroups.com (cc:'d above). If you get
an extra five e-mails a week, it's a busy week.
So - if you're in the area, or if you want to *be* in the area, come on out.
Cost, as always, is free.
Hope to see you!
