COMOPOLO

http://leagueofbikepolo.com/scary-larrys-wicked...

No details yet, but I plan on attending. Anyone else?

woo!

wait thats memorial day weekend...

Yes it is, do you have plans already or something?

I can't go. :(

and that's 20 minutes from my house!

i'm down

I know sooner is always better, but is there a deadline for registration?

I'll have a better idea by April 25. Of my future in general.

No christian this will be laid back you'll be fine.

How many teams are they expecting?

I think it is a friendlies like the pull out. I am most likely in.

it's still a long time out, but I'm probably in

Count me in!

yes!

family fun weekend/games weekend is memorial day weekend. some of you were in attendance last year, and i was going to extend that invitation again...

ohh shit son I forgot about that. remind me to leave the dog at home though...

Ahhh. My family doesn't do that kind of stuff. We just eat a lot and drink a lot of booze...indoors typically.

so the Tims and I are thinking about playing together for this.

other teams? change it up!

Are there teams or is it just a friendlies? I'd be down to play even though I hate Kansas.

In a matter of weeks, I'll be deciding if I'm staying in Missouri or going west.

That decision will be made concurrently with whether or not I go to this tourney.

Edit: And if somebody wants me on a team, that will make me lean toward staying.

I'd like to come. I don't have any team plans, but I'd love to play.

Ps. That is Build shit, break shit, burn shit, drink eat and camp.

BUMP

one thread per tourney is all we neeeed

Vince and Andrew, what should our team name be? aaaaaand you guys should be sure to sign up! https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AhICz9TaveG9dHFPXzNvNmJYYlhoc3MtQ2xPdjNvM0E&hl=en&authkey=CIC-xtAI#gid=0

Teresa, you still wanna team up or no?

Katherine said she would be our third. Pretty sure that offer still stands.

speaking for her: yes

There's a good chance I'll be flying into CoMO from NJ on Fri.(27th) night. If anyone plans on leaving late Sat. night or early Sun. morning, that would be awesome. I should have a concrete itinerary sometime next week.

It's a 2 day tourney, bro.

I meant Fri. night/Sat. morning.

I will be leaving Saturday morning but I prefer to drive alone, in silence.

So your blow-up bebe gurl can ride shotty, right?! :)

P.S. GIVE ME A RIDE!!!

I don't know if I'm still going. Katherine got free tickets for the Pedaler's Jamboree, which I'm pretty sure is the same day. There's an extra ticket if anyone else wants to go! Trail riding, live music, beer garden... should be awesome.

LAME! You'd rather hang out with a bunch of aging suburban roadies than play killer bike polo? We do that ride all the time... I'm sure we'll do it soon and it'll be better

unbreak my heart andrew.... say you'll love me again... undo that hurt you caused when you walked out the door, and walked out on the tournament... uncry these teeeeeeeeaaaars.

Colleen got 2 free tickets, too. It sounds like they're just throwing them out to people on bikes. I'm playing polo. I've never been to Lawrence, their court looks nice...I want to defile it.

OK, so if Andrew and Katherine stay, that leaves Teresa and me without a third again.

Aaron Hand, you want to throw down?

No way in hell.

I'm thinking about passing too, I'd go to Syd's grad party in KC instead. Aaron your welcome to team up with these two

Everyone is pulling a Charlie on me! I guess I'm a free agent now, so I'll be taking team offers now :-)

i might just go as a free agent so if i make it there i do if i dont i dont

otherwise, me kit and aaron

So, Christian and I are still without a third. My idea: Have Aaron, Nic, and Kit (if he's going) fight it out cage match style. You know you want to be on a team with us. We're pretty awesome, and I'm getting a ton better at passing the ball. Just do it.

you guys just need to post on the leagueofbikepolo thread and connect with someone from another town.

no need for fighting me aaron and kit have decided to play together

hey im thinking about going to this, so if christian and theresa still need a teammate? otherwise i will just go if there is anyone short at the tournament and to play some pick up. Ill be sure if i can go within the next couple days.

Somebody from Larry is gonna be our third, but I think there's a bunch of others in Larry willing to be free agents.

Check the League of Bike Polo thread.

anyone got space in their car for a person and bike?

I'm leaving today or I'd help you out!

Tim D., can I ride with you again?

Yes, but we'd leave early on Saturday morning. Like 7am.

awesome thanks a lot, ill be there.

I was hoping to not have to drive...but I guess we'll see how things pan out by tomorrow I guess.

Oh, right on. No worries then.

Kit, Christian, Nic? We need another car. Pete already graciously offered his wheels. Any takers?

Well im driving, but I dont have a car rack anymore. also im not heading back to como right after the tourney on sunday because I plan on visiting my parents in kc...so if anybody rides to lawrence with me would need to find a ride back

Guys I have news for you... this tournament has officially jumped the shark.

So nobody wants to go tomorrow even though registration is technically tomorrow? I just wanted to make sure, because I think we should drop them a line and let them know we're coming early Saturday if that's the case...

And I can drive, I just don't like to, because my car gets crappy gas mileage on a normal day, let alone when it's full of people and bikes.

P.S. If my car goes, someone sober is driving it back for me...so I can drink in the car once in MO.

I'm free to go on Fri. after 5 or so. It doesn't matter to me as long as I make it out there and play.

Haha, I've never actually looked up the open container law. Missouri liqour laws are one of the best things about the state:

wikipedia wrote:

The metropolises of St. Louis and Kansas City have no local open container laws, and thus the state law (or lack thereof) governs.[1] This makes it possible for a passenger to drink legally through the entire 250-mile (400 km) trip across Missouri on Interstate 70 between Downtown Kansas City and Downtown St. Louis, only closing his container while passing through the city limits of Independence, Bates City, Foristell, and St. Charles.[1]

Yep...Why do you think Missouri has so many drive-thru liquor stores? Well, actually, I only see those in small towns normally...but there are a lot around!

I Don't get off work until 7, so I probably wouldn't be ready to leave until 8 or later. I'm more on board with leaving early Saturday, I just think we should message Lawrence and let them know this. I'm sure they'll be fine with it...especially since we're like a third of the tournament.

I let Scary Larry in on our travel arrangement.

I can leave tomorrow night. We need to put Tim D.'s rack on my car.

Or we can leave early Saturday. I posted that most (all?) of COMO probably won't get to Larry until Saturday morning.

I'll take both Tims. I have room for another, but it's gonna get cozy. Two-door Civic.

Oh, crap. I totally would have gone to this if I had heard of it before right now. Maybe I should pay attention to the forums.

p.s.-- I'm going to be in Columbia on Saturday and Sunday helping the bro move. Hit me up.

Let's meet at my house...what time?

If we leave Friday night, whatever time works for you, Tim D. Saturday morning, I can leave as early as we please, too.

So I'm flexible.

Anybody wanna be our fourth and lower the cost of gas? Not sure I could get all your gear though. My trunk is bigger than Tim D.'s, but it's no Cobra.

If we leave tomorrow morning we will have to leave by 7 AM at the latest. If we leave tonight we can hit the road around 9 PM and be there by around 11:30 PM. I'm game for either.

I guess it doesn't matter, but I'm going to be rushing to get ready tonight. I'll get home by like 7:45 PM and will need to get all my shit together.

So I guess I'll drive in anticipation of maybe leaving tonight. I'll be ready by 8:00-8:30 then.

Don't sweat it, Tim. Let's just leave tomorrow morning.

It doesn't matter much, really. I realize it's just a two day trip, so I really just need to throw some crap in a bag. I'm just trying to charge camera batteries and think about what repair my bike may need...that's all I really need time for.

Are we taking my car or Christians? Christian, I hope you know if your car is a manual, neither of the Tim's can drive it...because we're losers and only know how to drive manual bicycles.

Why did I misplace the ' in that sentence....please, in your brain move it to "Christians" and away from "Tim's".

You know you can edit your posts after you submit them, right? The button is down next to the "quote" button and lets you make grammar changes! I'd do it for you but that might be overstepping my administration ethical bounds. DID YOU GUYS KNOW I'M AN ADMIN?

Yes, we know you're an admin. Put it on your resume, dude!

I'm fine driving the entire time both ways. It's pretty short compared to other trips I've done.

Let's just leave Saturday morning. No need to rush and get there when pickup is over.

Sounds good to me!

Good deal. Tim D., I'll get to your place at 7 a.m. so we can put the rack on.

Gas won't be too bad. Even loaded down, my 9.7-gallon tank can get close to 380 miles. And I have only a CD player. Sorry for being archaic. Like I said, my car is noisy, so you might just wanna bring your MP3 player.

7 AM will be cutting it close for a LEAVING time, let alone a meet time. Leaving in the morning blows, because we should, if being responsible, leave at like 6:30 in order to give breathing room and respect Larry's 10AM start time (even though we know it won't start right at 10, it's still rude to not show up on time).

I'm saying this based on the fact that it's ~2 1/2 hours taking the toll roads...and about 15-30 minutes longer to go around them.

Take the toll. It's like 60 cents from the beginning of the toll to the Lawrence exit.

I got charged fucking 8 dollars to cross a bridge in NY. That's a god damn racket.

Learn how to drive a stick shift, you nancies.

isn't learning to drive a manual one of the american rituals involved in becoming a man? we have more women playing polo then i thought. no offense to the other women, well maybe a little offense.

Hey you guys punch Alex Drees in the cock for me today.

Why? I hate cars. I'll learn to manually shift a motorcycle if I ever get one...cars can lick my balls.

So is giving a shit about football, caring too much about money, getting fat. I'm not very American already.
