A couple more Last Day of Youth Party videos

Now people who couldn't make it can vicariously experience 4 separate components of the party.

Full Contact Spoons - the only existing recording of the greatest full contact sport in the world.  There is only 1 min and 17 sec worth because we are all old and fat and lazy.

Best. Party. Ever.

Best. Party. Ever.



One of the things that happens when you get too old, you spend more time re-telling old stories than generating new ones.

I have a couple new ones now.

Last Day of Youth

• Dec 11, 2009

Last Day of Youth

In less than a month, I will no longer be one of those people who are "in their 20s".
I'm driving slower, I own my home, I'm self-employed, and I have a credit rating above 800.
Defying all that makes sense in the world, I've been gradually becoming a responsible adult.
As of midnight Jan 9th of next year, it will become official.

Living to 90 is a fair goal.
If you chop life into 3 big blocks, 90 / 3, then 0-30 would be youth.  60-90 would be old age.  Which leaves 30-60 to be middle aged.
Wow.
Man.
Crazy.
I am a month away from middle aged.
I'm a divorcee who lives with 2 cats and is currently researching the tax affects of different types of individual retirement accounts.
I don't entirely understand how this happened.

Spoons and Amtgard; together at last

Spoons and Amtgard; together at last

Its been a long time. 

There was winter.

Then training for the Bay to Breakers.

There is Farmer's Markets, my truck and garden projects, and Downieville.

But, to be honest, it has been mainly laziness.

No more!

This time, for the first time ever, I am combining my two favorite sports, Full Contact Spoons and Amtgard.

(No, not at the same time. We will not be using weapons during the actual spoons game.  No, its not actually a good idea.  It would be terrible.  Don't suggest it.)

At the same Bat time, same Bat channel:

Sunday, July 12th, 2009 at 2:30-4:30pm

Ohlone Park in Berkeley, (across the street from N. Berkeley BART)

Please note:

Spoons is not a spectator sport!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone in attendance will be expected to play.  Don't wear anything which would be tragic to have grass stained. 

I now have two shields to add to my amtgard arsenal.  If you happen to have any foam swords, bring them.

If you are seeing this message for the first time, and are interested in playing, be sure to email me so I put you on the Spoons list for future games.

FC Spoons, Sat 3/31 4:30p Ohlone Park

FC Spoons, Sat 3/31 4:30p Ohlone Park

Old spot, across the street from North Berkeley BART.
I'll be there some time between 4 and 4:30.
Please RSVP (so I know to cancel if there are only going to be 2 or 3 of us)

Feel free to invite people.  Last week was good, with 5, but more is better.

Hey Al, I hear you have been considering playing again.  You should.  You practically invented the game.  And Greg too, but I just don't see that happening (prove me wrong, man).
Anakune, I made it Sat for you, you had better show up!

email me lenardsimp@gmail.com if you would like to be on the regular mailing list

Perhaps more people read my blog than bulletins [or FCS announcement]

Full Contact Spoons, Sunday, around noon,
contact me for location.

http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Full-Contact-Spoons

I have a real rugby ball, which I expect to make for excellent play!





-------------------------
[UPDATE]


Just so you know...

Yall missed an excellent game!

our 3rd person was an hour late - last 2 were an hour and a half late, but once we had 5 things got going. Rugby ball works well, less time spent in the piles.



now that the weather's better, I'll try to hold them more often.

email me if you'd like to be on the mailing list for next time.


Tentatively next Sat at 4:15 pm, at the old location, Ohlone Park in Berkeley (across the street form North Berkeley BART)
