In English, translated by Jim Kirchhoff:

Hi all! Your friendly neighborhood alcoholic translator here. (shen has apparently gone awol - damn you all)

So, Hangtime is taking the advice of the Beijing Ultimate Committee (BUC) and stepping up to organize the first "Monthly Frisbee Community Event" on January 10 from 2pm - 5pm with fun afterward. (ps - Jim is awesome)

The event will involve an hour of super amazing fun practice/drills followed by two hours of playing. (has anyone noticed how dreamy Jim is?). The location will be at the Yi Zhuang Middle School "Zhang Bei" Athletic Center 3rd Floor Basketball Court. (More Capitalized Words Please).

Please meet at Dong Zhi Men McDonalds at 1pm if you want to carpool and take a van down. Or take Line 5 subway to this stop "刘家窑" and then cab it from there. (sorry, I don't know how to read Chinese, just how to translate it!)

After frisbee is over, the van will take people to Chaoyangmen Wai Yuan Yuan Yuan Cha Fang (圆缘园茶坊) for "table games". (I think this may involve drinking). Then DINNER to follow. WOO WOO!!! Go HANGTIME YOU GUYS ROCK FOR ORGANIZING!!!! (almost as much as Jim for translating! what? free beer for translating? you are too kind!)

Anyway, costs should be as follows:
- roundtrip van ride rmb 20
- disc at Yi Zhuang 280 per hour for the group (YOU CAN SHOWER TOO!)
- drinking games and dinner - up to you. avg 15-25 for reg beverages. for heavy drinkers, no idea....

IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME!!! SO EVERYONE SHOULD COME SUPPORT BEIJING ULTIMATE!!!! BUC! BUC! BUC!

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or if you want a new translator, please contact

If you'd like to buy Jim beer for his efforts, find him at the event, or drop him an email. (sorry, no phone number, i was mobbed with too many calls after my last excellent *breathes on knuckles and rubs them on shirt * translation effort. gosh i'm amazing - just ask Char =)

Happy New Year!

And a little something from Zahlen of the renowned Titcomb family:

Bring a light and dark shirt for games.

The facility has free showers, so if you want to shower after playing and before rocking out, bring your own towel and product.

See you all saturday (i'm pumped)!
