Hey, so are the pickup games happening on Sundays? I just moved here
from Minneapolis and I'm looking to get out on the field!

Hello, this is my yearly intrusion in your mailing list (Sorry don't
mean to spam, just to promote our 2009 COED HAT sand and Grass Ultimate
Tournament in Acapulco México January 14-18, 2009 :-)

For more information go to www.acapulcotournament.com

If you could help me circulate this info amongst your ultimate
community I would really appreciate it.

Gracias y Saludos desde México.

Does anyone know if the casual game is still going on? I was there today around
3pm and
didn't see any game.

Thanks,

Josh

Hope to see you there.

Hey,
   It's the George R White Schoolboy stadium behind the
Franklin Park zoo. (just Mapquest it)
   Anyway, I'm not sure how many people would be there
today because of the extreme heat. I think I'm gonna
skip it. As I've said before it is extremely casual
and low-key. Good luck...

I've heard that there is a low key pickup game in Franklin park at the same time. Is that true, or did the group move? I'm hoping to find a pickup game this weekend, if you know of anything please let me know, thanks!

Any updates on this proposed Sunday game in Franklin Park?  What time
are we thinking?  I am interested.  I haven't been to JP pickup in
over a year but I'm ready to get back in the saddle.

FYI, I've added a new Yahoo group for those interested in pickup games in
the Arlington area:

I think the park is a good idea.  Let's do it!

Hey,
   I'm afraid we haven't started up yet. And if we do,
it won't be at the listed location. We got kicked off
Daisy field last year and we haven't settled on a new
field yet.
   I'd like to propose to everyone (again) that we play
in Franklin park. There is a field behind the zoo,
next to White stadium that seems to be empty a lot.
There's plenty of parking and it's within walking
distance to the Green st. station on the Orange line.
There is a very, very casual pickup game there in the
afternoon that we shouldn't interfere with. Any
opinions?
