WEEK IN REVIEW: Yeeehaw!

They don't say that in the Appalachians, do they?

No, probably not.

Frisbee players Chris Boehner, Chip Rountree and Amy Gardner are in a bluegrass band that played Thursday. Pictures and videos of their performance are here. We at Beijing Ultimate approve.

We got some new people in town. Will they ever come out again?


For the food, who wouldn't?

Hi Veronica!

GOOGLE GROUPS POST OF THE WEEK 2:

From Jim Kirchhoff, captain (not technically from this past week, but close enough):

Hey frisbee fans!

It's that time of year when the weather begins to change, the snow starts to fall, and the smell of frisbee is in the air.

What does that mean for us? It means it's time to start thinking about and getting ready for the tournament season ahead. As the club teams begin planning and assembling for the spring season, Big Brother wants everyone to know that practices will be starting again soon for those who are interested in improving their game. Practices will be open to anyone interested in improving their game, checking out the team, and playing some structured, competitive disc.

The first practice will MOST LIKELY be next weekend (Feb 28/Mar 1) depending on field availability. If the weather stays cold, this will mean indoor space, but we will hope to get outside soon. I highly encourage everyone to come out who is interested! Please drop me an RSVP so I can figure out numbers.

Doc, Joe, and I will be running the first practice. Any questions regarding BB beyond that point can be discussed next weekend. Let's get psyched!!!

Also, tournaments are quickly approaching. Jeju is only TWO MONTHS AWAY!!! Jeju is April 18-19 (dates are now confirmed)

A lot of people have been talking about playing and bids need to be submitted soon. To facilitate the process, I am creating a google doc called Jeju 2009 Apr 18-19 Commitment Sheet (yes, that's the actual name). I will share it with the group. This is a particularly difficult tourney to plan for due to the 9 player roster limit so please put your name on the sheet if you intend to go.

Putting your name on the form does NOT require you to play w/ Big Brother, but I am sure it will be useful for ALL potential teams to know who is interested and may help with travel options for the larger community. And don't forget to sign up for Duff's AWESOME SPRING LEAGUE!!!

Thanks and enjoy playing in the snow!!!

Keep on rockin'.
