    actually I was sort of wondering what it would take to get a softball game going some weekend. I'd suggest Ultimate Disc but my cardio ain't up to it. Anyone have some bats and gloves?

    What if one has no discernable talents (on the entertainment side that is)?

    I know I've suggested it before, but how about air hockey at Brownstone Billiards?

    How about a "picnic" type thing in the park?

    I've chickened out on two happy hours and a RPS Smackdown, but I am TOTALLY in for this.

    Short notice, I know, but how about this Thursday or Friday?

    I can't do Thursday or Friday. I could do Wendesday evening. Maybe next week is better?

    Wednesday is tough for me this week because I'm working 11p-7a overnight tonight and tomorrow. I'll be totally wiped. I could potentially do Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Is anyone else in on this? Spinningpinwheel?

    next week total madness for me but go without me. You'll need the practice before you dare confront me.

    The Air Hockey Gods don't seem to be in our favor today... I can do Monday, Thursday, or Friday next week, but no Tues or Wed.

    We mustn't give up!

    How about 8/9 or 8/12?

    8/9 is good

    If I were you two (spinningpinwheel and Carnivore), I'd be scared of that guy with the cigar ... how is a crocheted hand-puppet to compete that man? He looks like he might send his posse out to smash you flat if you got in his way.

    Just asking. :wink:

    My crocheted doll is going to play paper to Herrick's rock.

    He's going down big time!

    Let's tentatively say 8/9 at 8 pm.

    That sounds like fun - I cannot make 8/9 but keep in mind for the next one :)

    Is anyone going to play ping pong?

    Isa if it gets you to one of the get togethers I will play ping pong with ya!

    I was at the Smackdown! I will go - even though I'm a little paranoid that a guest will stalk out Brwonstone and kill me.

    I can't make it that night either. :cry:

    Maybe for the best... cigar smokers, while they appear to be classy, are notoriously all talk and crocheted hand puppets can be no match for a clever device made of glossy paper and powered by wind... we are talking about Air Hockey after all. 8)

    We can mix it up... air hockey, table tennis, pool.

    Once Herrick gets tired of losing at air hockey, I'm sure he's going to want to try something else. :lol:

    I'm game, despite being crap at all 3 of those activities. Is Brownstone the place with no bar area though?

    Yes, but I think that I remember someone saying in another thread that they have a permissive policy regarding brown-bagging.

    what about darts? is that an option? do people even play darts on the east coast?! now that i think about it, i've been here for more than 2 years and haven't seen a single board...

    Mooney's has a league team, so does Loki's. The board at Loki's is nicer, and you can usually get on unless there's a league happening or it's a very busy night.

    thanks- i'll have to check it out... then all i have to do is find someone to beat up on... :D are these electric boards or good ol' fashioned bristle boards?

    i'll throw down the gauntlet on table tennis, too, for anyone interested!

    Brownstone Billiards, 8/9, 8pm. Air Hockey, Table Tennis, Pool, whatever.

    That's the way we roll. (soon to be on the BANNED list)
