Ultimate Frisbee - Wednesdays and Sundays

No, that's an entirely different pestilent organism. The Ultimo Friseribus (toytownian) is found in dangerous concentrations, following a weekly migratory pattern. To be avoided if you wish to avoid serious expenditure of energy.

I'm planning to be at Frisbee on Sunday but seeing as this is my last day of internet access, I just wanted to say goodbye to those I won't see. It's been a blast.

Looking at the weather, I think we'll be able to do Giselestrasse at 4pm tomorrow.

Weather appears to be cooperating!

Looks like we'll get in one more game, Wagz! See you soon.

I'll be there a bit late with the cones... after drying off from a soaking rain at the Spitzingsee.

Those of us there today were shocked to have only 4-on-4 with 1 sub (actually it started with 3-on-3!). It was a nice big field with no sunbathers, not too hot, no rain... good last game for Jeff I hope

This is from a couple weeks ago (if it works...)

It was a great time yesterday. Was it me or was there something in the air? I was so-o-o-o tired!

Anyway - nice pic there ... um, just a though, but I'm thinking just a little too much beer. Looks like fun!!

Hiya... 4 on 4 eh? Reminds me of the good old days... I was off enjoying the last day of summer in the Alps. Anyway...

Wednesday's game will be 6pm at the Giselestrasse venue. I'm 95% sure that I'll be there

Can't wait to play again tomorrow. My flight arrives around lunch time, so I'll be ready and unpacked and warmed up by 6. Wicked.

I have spanking new cleats that hopefully won't wear a hole in the bottom of my foot every game. Also they feel a lot more stable. So I should be able to run faster and corner better.

BTW, someone pls bring a bag big enough to take the cones. I think I'll either be too hung over to play Sun, or will be in the air getting the wrinkles out of my canopy.

It looks like a GREAT day for ultimate, so we can get a nice big cushy field. See everyone at 6ish. Anyone know an anti-rain dance? think sunshine!!

I probably will be in the Oktoberfest on Sunday morning (with Lederhosen!) so I could take the cones but they would next appear on Wednesday. Altho they were good drinking hats...

Well, if jay is back then I'm sure he'll be happy to look after the cones... they are notionally his after all! Weather report looks good for this afternoon, cool and dry. Should be a good one.

Are these glow-in-the-dark cones?

BTW for all those who still dont know:

It turns out I was wrong - in fact it takes a net worth of $30,000,000 to buy an "area franchise" for krispykreme in West Europe. All US markets are cornered...

I'll put in the first $10, who's next?

I'm in. Now we only need another 2,999,998 more investors...

Another 4-on-4 yesterday! So what's the plan for Sunday? In case I am in town.

Sorry I had to bail on the biergarten (when they stopped serving beer at 8:xx and food even earlier!?). I have a blood sugar requirement, if it's too low and I don't get "proper food" I become... difficult. Yes, more difficult than usual [shields up]

I'm seriously missing Ultimate these days - been out of the loop with a minor cold that just won't go away... And now I'll be out for another few sessions as I'm away next week on business!

I'll be back for the game on the 25th... Unless I'm passed out in a bush somewhere between Wies'n and home.

Hayn, how's the wife doing?

Peas, y'all!

Krispy Kreme, Ben?? C'mon, that is crap. How about a real donut place:

[img]http://money.cnn.com/2002/09/23/news/dunkin_obit/dunkin_donuts.03.jpg[/img]

In the Boston area, there is about one Dunkin Donuts for every 2500 people, the most Dunkin Donuts per capita anywhere.

I am with BSF. No donut is a real donut unless it's a Dunkin' Donut. Chosen out of a wall-sized rack of 50 tasty donut flavors. Dunkin has 2 flavors of coconut... KK has none.

Hayn, what's the news? Awaiting your post!

Any frisbee activities planned for this Sunday? I could run around some at 4, long's I get my washer and dryer moved into the flat by then.

Hiya everybody,

Marie and I had a good time hanging out on Wednesday. Bummer about them shutting down things there so early, though. Sorry we missed you, Dave.

Well, with no further fanfare, we'd like to introduce everyone to the most recent Ultimate-TT addition: Grace Collins Cope ...

Mother and child are doing extremely well. Vital statistics:3.66 kg (that's over 8 lb.s!!) 50 cm long and a great grip

I will likely NOT make a Sunday throw-around, so if not, have a great time and I'll catch up with you all soon.



- Hayne

Hayne, That's great to hear everything went well for Marie and Grace. Thanks for the update. See ya next week.

Congratulations to the new parents!

BTW: Are we meeting up for frisbee or Oktoberfest tomorrow? I'll probably go to the Wiesn', so let me know where you guys sit! Prost!

Hayne! Congrats! Very glad to hear everyone is doing well! And wait... another Hayne?? I think this means that in, say 5 to 8 years, none of us will even have a chance to get near the disc before one of them knocks it away!

Congrats Hayne!!!

How did you test the grip - a frisbee? Perhaps she will have a good Hammer too

Fantastic news Hayne - look forward to meeting her!

Nice one Marie and Hayne, that's great news!



Who's going to be out today?
The weather's a bit depressing, but it's not raining and we'll have plenty of space ...
I've got lots of work to do, but if I know there's going to be a good turn out then I'll
but doubly motivated to get all this stuff finished by 4 ...

Between babies and doughnuts, no one has made the call for location today..

I assume we are at Giselastrasse at 16:00.

Good point, although I think that we can basically agree that it's going to be Giselastrasse for the rest of the year and always at 4 and 6 p.m ...
<sarcasm>Or are we expecting another heatwave?</sarcasm>

I'm starting to get the impression that no-one's going to turn up today.
Anybody?

I'm starting to get the impression that no-one's going to turn up today.
Anybody?

Congrats Hayne and Marie! Glad that all went well. Hope to see this future "hardcore frisbee chick" visiting at a game sometime soon!

The fest put a hurting on me. 3.5 L starting at 11am yesterday... wow. Wednesday I will probably see you guys for frisbee.

All you boozers out there missed a totaly hard core game of one on one today...
It was so ferocious that we could only play for 1/2 an hour.

Let's have a roll call while the Wies'n is on...

Having said that I'll probably be out of commission the next two weekends too

Cam

Hi All!

I have just registered, and this is my first post! How exciting.
Since the username had to be >= 3 characters I couldn't be "bo"
so I went for "bow", although I was also quite keen on "bovine"
(To err is human, to moo bovine :-)

Anyway, thanks to Cam for coming out today so we at least were two ;-)

Cheers, Bo

Hi Bo, how've you been?
Welcome to the insanity that is Toytown. I'm sorry I wasn't there today, I think everyone else
disappeared to the Oktoberfest. Anyway, I'll be out on Wednesday to (finally) play some more ultimate ...

Ahoy there! Yer 'ol cap'n be sailing a new course through great, grand mountains on Sunday. He be safe and sound with his pal Cap'n Jack busy beerin un whorin (well, beerin) ready to go on the account. Them lily-livered weis'n landlubbers best be waitin' t'walk the plank as the Cap'n nears!

Arrr!

Congratulations Hayne & Marie!!
I wish you all the best with your new addition.
When do you reckon she'll start coming out to toss the disc?

Hi!
I've also just joined, and in fact I was at the park nearest gisellestr. yesterday at 4pm, but I couldn't see anyone with a frisbee I stayed there from about 3:50-4:10pm and came back about 6pm after I went for a jog to Arabellapark (not intentionally!) Hopefully next weekend I'll find somebody. One potential problem is I only have access to internet at work.

OK, as jay alluded, from now on we will always be playing at Giselestrasse. The next couple of weeks are going to be touch and go competeing with oktoberfest, I hope to be along on Wednesday but I'll be out of town for the following two weeks. I'd like to appoint Jay in my stead to be the ringleader, will try to get the cones to him before I leave if I don't make it Wednesday.

Hi Thomas,

Cam and I both arrived a bit late, around 4:20 PM, and we only stayed for half an hour, so we unfortunately missed you! We could have played 1.5 on 1.5

See you another time,
Cheers, Bo

Maybe a roll-call would be a good idea ...
I'll definitely be there on Wednesday, unless it's raining.

So that's 1 ...

Hi ThomasM -

just in case ... and this is something I tried to get us to address before ... when we say Giselastrasse, we don't really mean Giselastrasse. What we mean is Kleinhesselohe (across the lake and south of Seehaus Biergarten) - and that Giselastrasse is the U-bahn stop closest.

I hope there isn't any further confusion. When I started up in May, it took me a few weeks and finally some direct questioning to figure out what was meant.

In the same way - Dietlindenstrasse actually refers to some space just north of Hirschgarten Biergarten (which apparently we'll likely not be using the rest of the year).

Everybody else - Mom and Grace are home as of this morning and "all shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well."

See you soon.
H

I'll be there Wed, possibly a little late but hopefully before dark. Anyone know a place that has night-vision goggles?

I should be there Wednesday as well. Looks like we'll have a good turnout. Ja?

Well sorry guys!
I am going to the Wiesn' - anybody wanna try frisbee with a couple of beers in a tent?
Have fun - see you guys sunday...anybody showing up sunday?

Prost!

Roll call: sounds like we'll have,
ben?
jay
ibski
me --> gotta exercise off some of this beer!
hayne?
cam?

I'm happy just to throw around even if there aren't many of us. Tho I do have to eat something healthy after a slew of Bavarian and Turkish food in the last 2 days. Looks like I have to bringz me a salad to the Turm.

Anyone know if the Turm is closed at 8 today like last week? Maybe as a result of fall coming, or Oktoberfest?

Nope... afraid ben is still working.

Rousing game of 1 on 1 on 1 on 1. Also known as a 4 person throwaround with 2 discs.

I have to see if I can add some pics later, from the post-frisbee Oktoberfest outing with Jake, Andy, and myself. Benches were stood upon, Krugs were drunken from, memories were blacked out. Isn't that what cameras are for ;-)

I gotta agree, cameras provide evidence. Good times at the Wiesn. I was suprised not to see a beachball being bounced around the tent. Note to self...

@haynous

Thanks for the directions but I think I was in the right place. I looked around the "We currently play here" and the "We could play here" areas marked on the map. I'll probably be looking again this Sunday - I'll be wearing a grey/white anorak and blue jeans and will probably be looking lost
