Sorry kids, looks like this Fridays bit wont happen until September 9. But hey, youll have more time to work on your witty and spontaneous remarks.

If youre interested in being involved on the 9th shoot an email to bethhogan@yahoo.com

Week 1

I do!
15 strong, Potomac Pirates were the last of any DCKickballers to walk out of Tom Tom. Where to? You ask. Over to Adams Mill to hang with other kickballers. Dont be too embarassed DCK, we represented there too, by outlasting them as well by shutting down Adams Mill with 9 strong. Proving that its not what league youre inits whos on your team!

No, we dont work at McDonalds.
No, we dont have rich mommies and daddies spoiling us.
No, we dont whine about having to go to work in the morning.

Yes, we are professionals like you.
Yes, we are busting our humps to pay the bills.
Yes, we whine about being at work in the morning. But so do you!

I give props to several BSBs and Ligers that hung with the Pirates the whole night.

Oh, and if you say you come out just to win at flip cup and go home and not to party it up.that tells me you must be practicing at home while watching The Late Show. What time does that show start?

Speaking on behalf of my team, Potomac Pirates, we challenge any other DCK team to see if they can out party the Pirates!

Id be remiss if I didnt remind everyone that the Kickball (Franks Tanks) and Flip-Cup (The Ligers) Champions of Summer 05 will be awarded their gleaming hardware at the End-of-Season Party.

DCKickball will be hosting the Summer 2005 End-of-Season Extravaganza at MCCXXIII, one of the premiere clubs in DC! Proper attire required. Heres the scoop:

• Party starts at 8pm
• $20/cover per player for 3 HOURS of open bar
• Gratuity is included in the cover
• Guests are welcome, but not part of the open bar [1]

This is going to be a legendary event! DCKickballs first ever summer blow-out! Were pulling out all the stops, and we wont be happy until all 394 summer players show up and completely obliterate the remainder of our social budget!

Feel free to bring as many guests as you like, the more the merrier! And please RSVP (maybe is fine) so the league can budget for this event.

[1] Guests can still purchase the open bar, if they choose to, for $40. DCKickball is subsidizing the $20 cover paid by players. If guests opt-out of the open bar, they would just need to pay whatever the regular cover is that night.

RVSP here.

This is just something to reference until I have the games entered into the system. Once thats done, youll be able to log-in to your account and see the schedule for your team, if (and when) youre scheduled to ref, whos collecting the equipment, etc.

Update: Added a small tweak towards the end of the season. There was a duplicate match-up between teams.

Red Rubber Ball by Cyrkle

I should have known youd bid me farewell
Theres a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now, I know youre not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, its all the same to me

And I think its gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin sun is shinin like a red rubber ball

You never care for secrets I confide
For you, Im just an ornament, somethin for your pride
Always runnin, never carin, thats the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give

And I think its gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin sun is shinin like a red rubber ball

The storys in the past with nothin to recall
Ive got my life to live and I dont need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, thats all Im gonna spend

And I think its gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin sun is shinin like a red rubber ball

Oh, I think its gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin sun is shinin like a red rubber ball
