SitP Wedding Edition Report!

Well, my dream finally came true. No, not getting married, though that was nice too, but instead this photo:


Need I really say more? Quizzes were held, balls were tossed and knocked, packages were imported, and in the end everyone left satisfied, and one person left with a new last name.

SitP Street Hockey coming post-honeymoon :).

SitP: Wedding Edition

Yes, it's actually happening. The long rumoured SitP: Wedding Edition is only 5 days away!

Marta and I (see below) are getting hitched on July 19th at Noon at Como Lake United Church in Coquitlam. After the ceremony (around 12:40ish) there will be a series of games (bocce, croquet, badminton, etc.) to be played, as well as a couple bigger games (incl. a massive game of charades). The tomfoolery will go on until about 3:00. Oh, and there'll be food!

Soooo...if you know Marta and I even just a little bit, come out for the fun and games (and the ceremony, if you know us a little bit more than a little bit).

And, as per SitP tradition, no gifts for the organizers :).

It'll be Fidelity...to the EXTREME!!!!!!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the tie really does make the man.

CTF report (feat. flesh wounds)

On May 31st, 26 (or something like that, it was dark) brave souls, and this guy...


gathered to play Capture the Flag in Mundy Park. Before the games, we held a brief sneakiness training session. Here, the group shows off their newly acquired skills (note: Kevin is the sneakiest - try to find him!):


Then it was off to the game! As per CTF tradition, it was dark and everyone was having too much fun to bother taking pictures, so this shot of me taken after the event (tho still pumped filled with CTF-rage and sporting a wicked twig-scar) will have to suffice:


It is with great regret that I report that no one got a picture of Eric's knees. They were so bloody and gross - it would have made for a great blog post!

In the end, Team Hat swept to a 2 - 0 victory in captures, knotting up the Hat/No-Hat series at one win each, with one tie.

No set time for the next SitP, though it will happen sooner or later (sooner if someone else takes the initiative to organize something, later if it's left to me).

Either way, see you then!

Gooooo Summer!


Ok, here are the answers to the tests above - let's see how you did (click to expand)!

SitP 2008 Kick Off - Capture the Flag

As is tradition here at SitP, we will be starting the season with our annual Capture the Flag game in Mundy Park in Coquitlam.

The game will take place on Saturday, May 31st at 7:30 PM. Like last year, this will allow us to play for an hour or two in the light, and end it with a few points in the dark (which is always the best part)!

Like every year, we will meet in "Parking Lot 7", and in all likelihood we'll play in the same part of the park as last year - but no guarantees! So make sure you are there at 7:30, in case we decide to try another section.

We've been getting 25-30 people out to this thus far, but I think if we hype it like hell to everyone we know, we can get it up to 50 or so and get a balls-crazy game going. So email this on to people, Facebook it, Myspace it, You Tube it, iSmack it, eTwiddle it, Futonparty it, etc.

Bring a hat (yes, another mighty battle between TEAM HAT and TEAM NO-HAT) and a flashlight. Facepaints are optional, but encouraged.

In summary:

May 31st, 2008
Mundy Park, Coquitlam
Parking Lot 7 (map)
7:30 PM until we drop (or get scared, probably around 10:30)
RAIN OR SHINE
Bring a hat, a flashlight and 47 friends!


See you there!!!

WOOOOOO!!!!


p.s. We need volunteers to run future SitP events. So please, if you have even the slightest inkling of an event you'd like to host, let me know [saturdaysinthepark(at)gmail.com]. The only rules: a game, on a Saturday, in a park, in the Lower Mainland, admission free.

p.p.s. Not involved the last couple of years? Here are the reports from our 2007 and 2006 CTF events.
