Yes. That is Mr. Belding hanging out with the Capital Conference last night.

DCKickball & The Real World DC

There have been lots of high points (and low points) in the 6 years we’ve been running DCKickball.  But having a character like Andrew Wood from the Real World DC sporting our gear during this poignant and touching romantic moment in Episode 9 (or 10?) really gave me goose bumps.

I mean, who among us hasn’t brought a cute girl (or guy) home after a stirring victory and a few rounds of flip-cup?  Andrew is the epitome of what DCKickball is all about: meeting cool people and having a good time!

Constitution Division Lands the 1,000th!

Say hi to Trenae Simpson, our 1,000th Facebook fan!  Besides being wicked smaht (Boston zing) she is a proud member of Teachers Who Kick It, playing on Sundays in the Constitution Division.

“I signed up for DCKickball because I think it’s a great way to meet people and experience DC. Also, kickball is a fun sport that everyone remembers from their childhood. I’m really happy that I joined!”

I am just super excited about this, and I’m looking forward to seeing how we can make way better use of Facebook (and Twitter and other social services) to really connect our DCKickball community.  Between this summer and fall, we’ve had over 4,300 people kicking balls and drinking beer with us in 2009.  Pretty nice way to celebrate our 5th year!
