kickball, flipcup, 80s dance revive
We are Intoxicated had our first game last night. It was fun, a bit stressful at times, but fun. I had to figure out where everyone was going to play and all of that but once this was worked out everything went smoothly. (i’ve noticed when organizing things everyone has an opinion, however they never want to actually step up and be responsible for them! Which is cool I guess, I welcomed the suggests for the most part, I just had my “its the first game, I gotta make sure everyone is having fun so I am stressed out” head on which may have come across less friendly than I would have liked).
Since WI had never played before I was happy that the final score was 1 / 2. We represented well considering over half the team met for the first time last evening. As people arrived on the field the most commonly heard remark was “Yea I’ve played before, but it was like… back in third grade or something”. So with our third grade skills we rocked out out the kickball field and than ventured to the bar to rock out our 21 year old skills…
Flipcup was a blast and since most of us hadn’t played that before either we finished that round with a 1 / 3 loss, still not bad if you ask me. (and we will get better of course) Several players slammed out a few “first flip” lands which is always fun. From there, the mood was pretty up for the few of us left. Shots followed, some dancing was involved as well and I think one of our team mates must have gotten at least one std number from the hoard of girls he was working over… I need to follow up with him on that actually. So, first kickball game & flipcup round was a success.
Next thursday we have another and I’m already looking forward to it.
