Hola, y'all,
Forest Hills Ultimate, The Game That Time Forgot, will happen at the same
bat time (6 PM tonight), same bat place, (Forest Hills Park in Durham - link
to a map and beaucoodles of other details below), same bat people.
As usual, plan on supper afterwards at one of the fine food establishments
in the area - maybe finally getting over to Dain's (Victor/Jenny:
hint-hint). For the game, bring friends, bring family, bring water. Looks to
be a nice night (it's 87 in Durham as I type; probably around 90 at game
time).
Forward this e-mail with whimsy and abandon. Carpool if possible; biking is
better, assuming you don't melt before getting to the field.
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!
yrs,
twicker
The normal e-mail, with details ...
*Howzit?*
It's good. 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:
http://tinyurl.com/385lv3
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!
