June 18th, 2009last weekend was an enormous success, thank you everybody who attended either of the two festivals, and a special thank you to everyone who helped run them.
WE WON!!!!!
at Come Out & Play, we won “Most Original Sport” and “Best In Festival”!!! they want us back next year to play an even bigger all day series of games! We certainly couldn’t have done it without the help of the wonderful Nebekah Youth Corps marching band! Give thanks to them.
Figment was also a rousing success, with beautiful weather and 3 wonderful games. We also played Mega Soccer with the Institute of Aesthletics.
on Tuesday, Shock and Awe squeezed out an incredible victory over The Flying Mordecais in the last 10 seconds of stoppage time, with a final score of 10-9.
WHAT’S NEXT you may ask?
I’ll tell you!
TV Globo, the largest broadcaster in South America, is going to be taping a piece for their hit show Fantastico! in which the Brazilian band Skank will come out to NYC and play Circle Rules with Brooklyn’s very own. So if you want to make it big in Rio, play in our Special Match next Friday 6/26, at a location and time T.B.A.
Oi, Brazil!!!
League play continues on Monday 6/22 with the Slow Polks facing Flying Mordecais in Prospect Park at 7pm.
