3 New Teams

Thursday Apr 21, 2005

OOOOOOOhhhhhhhh its non-fiction day. Today I will stick to a few updates as I am lacking any sort of huge story to share.

Last weekend was the beginning of a few things, namely three new franchises: Team Fun, Team Productivity, and Team Racquet Sports. Team Fun lacking one of its founding members (Gabe "I like the natural smell" Drucker) headed down to Redondo Beach for some beer pong and a Stripper Party.

For those of you unfamiliar with beer pong it is simply a two on two drinking/sporting event where the first team to sink ping pong balls in all of the opposing team's cups wins. For more information go here.

After we were liquified we headed out to the party. Though the party itself was a bit lame Team Fun did a great job all showing up in costume (except Elia "I couldn't wear a costume to my earlier in the evening dinner plans" Powers). Plus with pornography on the television and a washing machine filled with beer the party did have SOME upsides.

The evening concluded back at the headquarters of fun, 702 Paulina for some more insanity.

Saturday Team Productivity was born. After "dick smacking around all day," as Sam so elegant puts it, the two of us headed to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for several focused hours of writing and yep you guessed it, Productivity. We decided after the success of the event that we would continue Team Productivity on a weekly basis.

Sunday brought the return of Team Racquet Sports. This was Team RS's second showing this year. The first being a fun adventure to the 24 hour fitness racquetball courts just a few short weeks ago. Sunday however was a racquet sport I hadn't attempted since the 90's...the EARLY 90's...Tennis.

After gearing up at Target with a shiny new Wilson, a tennis bag, a can of balls, and the essential headband, Nichole, Sam and I engaged in series of tennis matches. Though we are not nearly as good at Tennis as we are at its indoor cousin, being out in the sun makes it all worthwhile.

And to finish up the lovely weekend, Team Fun went out on another adventure, this time to a beach front bonfire hosted by the aforementioned Elia "I couldn't wear a costume to my earlier in the evening dinner plans" Powers. Though I managed to mangle one of my toes playing beach football, chilling by the ocean with a warming fire was a wonderful way to end the Team weekend.
