Hopefully someone will discover this post and edit in photos. One day. Way in the future.
The Natty 20s rocked motherfrackin summer league this year and the moment should be commemorated. We lost once to Tequila Mockingbird and once to the Landsharks. We beat the G-bots once and then tied them in our final game. A rematch is pending...
Anyway, it was a great season and hopefully we'll hit one more tourney before the weather gets all Portlandlike.
Til then.

Hark 20s!! Given our complete and unquestionable Victory in Victoria last year, it has been decided that a renewed campaign into the far north will not be necessary at this time. Rather, we shall now direct our halberds and lances to the more immediate realm of Hanford near the hamlet of Richland, Washington. It has been arranged that formal engagement will occur on the 31st of October and the 1st of November. Obviously it would be wise to arrange for the preceding Friday and proceeding Monday to be free of laborious obligations so that you may focus more clearly on your duties, preparations and recovery. This campaign is likely to be even more fruitful than the Pumpkin Pull, if that can possibly be conceived. Hanford Howl is said to be quite festive and is indeed a benefit for ye Special Olympics. We ask that you direct all queries and petitions to Lady Jill Sargent or her chamber clerk Rufio. Training has already commenced and will continue every Wednesday at 6pm at Rigler Elementary (ne 55th and Prescott) until further notice. Field Training will be proceeded with libations, snackiths and strategy exercises/game night at the Club House on the Estate of her Lady and aforementioned clerk. Our bid has been secured and financial offerings have been arranged for and sent though tribute from all ABLE participating parties is requested. Many other logistical requirements, such as lodging, have yet to be arranged though all willing parties shall be kept posted as developments occur. Otherwise report to Tuesday pick-up at 22nd and Powell for the most current information. Remember to begin procuring your Vestments and Arms posthaste so that they may be of the highest quality come mid Fall. May you all be emboldened, spirited and totally FIT!! (whoa 20s...)
It was David's 25th birthday on Wednesday so a few of us Natural 20s headed out to the coast to celebrate. Mike and I are planning a hiking trip next Wednesday to either Mt. Saint Helens or Mcneil Point on Mt. Hood. We're going on adventures pretty much every tuesday and wednesday now. Let us know if you want to join in on one. If you show up to frisbee tuesday mornings at 10am you'll be sure to get the latest info of where we're headed next.
I've been checking out this online Ultimate Frisbee magazine: The Huddle.
There are a lot of great articles and even an article from my starter skillz coach!
I think it would be difficult to do this without laughing sometimes...

As a heads up, this weekend is your last chance to support fellow Natty 20 player Cecily Overman by seeing her performance in Richard II. Make a reservation ahead of time, if you are interested, as they fill up pretty fast. Also, if you go and they are full, ask to be put on a waitlist because you might be able to get in if someone else doesn't show.
Here's the info:

No, not for the disc (but that too). David, Mikey, and I are going to be messing around with the layout of the blog. We are going for something dark and ominous.
Feel free to weigh in.
Turns out we're not the only ones. Check out this article:
University of Oregon board: no clothes, no Ultimate Frisbee
Here are some pics from the tournament. I made a facebook album that you can check out here.
