Haha, I 'm just imaging the drupal Dream Team :) If we do softball I have softballs and a bat, and maybe an extra glove?

Extreme Frisbee is also a lot of fun and easy to setup. Not really a ball game, but a ball to play! (see what i did there?) ;P

I used to play at a court off Delancey St. on Attorney St. at the foot of the W'Burg bridge. It never seemed to be crowded. There is also a fairly busy court near me in Sunnyside, Queens. Lots of families out here. Mostly kids playing after school. Thins out a little bit later at night. During the day is pretty chill too. I don't have a ball anymore.

Posted by orbgasm on June 4, 2010 at 2:13pm

(I too am refraining from writing out that specific string but it's not working)

We can get blue balls at any sporting shop like Modell's or Sports Authority or Paragon.. etc.

There I said it damnit.

Great idea!

Posted by jackalope on June 3, 2010 at 11:39pm

Can't make this one (and suck at basketball anyhow), but softball, ultimate Frisbee, or capture the flag (i know, it's not a ball sport either)? Then I'm down!

Skyredwang,

Sorry I can't make it today. I will come to the next meetup. And I just bought DCamp8 tix.

Lets do this again

Posted by shawn.sh on June 8, 2010 at 2:46am

The games were great and the location was easy to get to. Considering the number of people who showed up basketball was a good choice. We should definitely do this again. Good job on the organizing skyred.

Great time on Sunday

Posted by tasumner on June 9, 2010 at 3:20pm

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say I had a lot of fun meeting you all and playing ball on Sunday. Great idea. Despite us all nearly passing out from exhaustion, I thought it was fun all around. Thanks everyone for organizing. Looking forward to the next one!
