WEEKEND ROUNDUP: Frisbee golf at Chaoyang Park and a post-Shanghai BCD

Now that the summer season's over, we get a few weeks to rest and relax.

Saturday was a chill day, as they say. First, Frisbee golf from Chaoyang Park's west gate:


Tom in the water... but no stroke penalty???


E in the water

The evening's boozy Chinese dinner at our normal place, with battle caps:




Some people went out to Sanlitun until the break of dawn. Kids will be kids, and Kevin.

A Frisbee golf story from this past weekend

When you tee off from atop a large rock, there's really no place to go but down.

Unless, of course, you build up.

Frisbee golf players will do anything to retrieve a disc, including swim in nasty lakes (done it) and tiptoe across slippery strips of land (and check).
This, however, takes the cake.

When Jeff, playing from the north entrance of Chaoyang Park, threw his dics into the inside of a large overhanging sign, his initial thought was to find a very long stick. And then Jim spotted materials on the ground to build a scaffolding with, and the result...



...was unexpectedly awesome, considering this was an alcohol-driven decision.

Jeff climbed atop...



...and voila!


Afterwards -- after many more beers, with shots -- Jim and Jeff fought outside 3.3 in Sanlitun. Ask one of them to tell you the story.

WEEKEND ROUNDUP: Hot or not?

Seen Saturday on the Frisbee golf course (hole No. 7) at Chaoyang Park:



If you throw it into the water, you'll be fetching (or fishing).




The night before, a celebration of Therese and Jim's birthdays:


Kro's Pizza and Alpha (club); the man in the middle arranged the surprise party for Therese.

Jeff was his usual leery self.



Jim was so happy he ended up in a tree.



And this:



All in all, a pretty great time, especially for those wearing matching shirts:



That's Charlotte with Helen and her husband, Mike. Which reminds me of something Charlotte wrote a while back:

a threesome with a christian and her husband or doc and a random asian would be quite fine.

She got her wish. I'm pretty sure Helen's Christian, though I may have made that up just now.
