So we're trying to nail down the details on the Whirly Ball stuff.

Right now there's 6 of us (Meow + wife, me + wife, Lionstop and Micro) who are in for sure, but we need at least 4 more to round out the teams, but more than 4 would be even better so we can rotate drinking and playing.

I know Naughty Max, ThruTheFog and Smitty will be in town, will you guys be joining in the whirly ball action? What about Rita, Smitty? The more the merrier.

Are you in Swarm? It's gonna be almost half the cost that was posted earlier...

It's $160/ hour, we plan on booking two hours. At $320 if we can get up to 10 people that's only $32 instead of the $50 we originally quoted. Each additional person past 10 will bring it down another $5-$6 per.

Also, it's BYOB if we book 2 or more hours, so we'll save a fortune on booze vs. a bar setting...


We gotta get this booked TODAY if we want to play, though, so I need confirmations from everyone either way please...

I'll show up but I don't feel like playing bumper ball. Maybe I'm just grumpy but I did it once and that was enough for me. I'll gladly watch from the sidelines as you guys beat the shit out of each other with those plastic death scooper things. I'll also drive the first person who loses an eye to the ER.

We going to a bar after or anything to watch the game?

We usually head back downtown for the evening to drink, eat and watch football if you're game for that...

I'm down for whatever, but at this point, I think we should just go with the flow and do whatever sounds the best when we're all together. We're paying $50 to beat the crap out of each other?

Uhg. That will be tough to go all the way back downtown. I live on the total opposite side of town. Good 45 minutes at least. Too bad we didn't find a nice place in Rochester or Troy near the middle of everything. Oh well. I'll figure it out.

Problem is, if we play whirlyball, we have to decide now bc we need to reserve a time slot. If we don't play, we can go to that place swarm mentioned. But we need to decide asap

Closer to $30-$35...

I gotta pack up and leave work, so I'll be off line for a bit, but Micro is right, we gotta figure this out right quick so we can reserve a spot. I just called a bit ago and they still have a two hour block open as of right now, but we can't expect to walk in and play...

What about Rita? The ladies are invited this time since we're low on numbers...

I think she already talked to Meow. I don't care what's going on. But I will be watching Michigan-ND. And am looking forward to sleeping indoors.

I'll give the whirlyball a go if you book it, but I have a feeling we should listen to Swarm.

Checking in one last time before I leave.

We've all known the Bears have been cheating for years. They're the Bears.
I'm disappointed that I'm not going to get to see Ansah play.
I'm relieved to hear that Broyles is indeed healthy.

See you guys in a coupla days.
