Ultimate Frisbee - Wednesdays and Sundays

I'll definitely be there as well. Hopefully we'll have enough!

Anyone else coming out to play? I currently count, Boston jip, and me.
Come on guys
Showem, u coming or not?

What time does it start again? I have to work until 6pm. I know Greg is keen, but it depends on when his train gets back from Ingolstadt.

Okay, I just looked, 6pm start. I have to go home, dump books and change into something more appropriate, but I should be there by 6:30

I doubt we will have retired to GM's by then so you should be fine. I have to pop into Marienplatz shops anyway so may be 15mins late.

yeah, I've got to take the sbahn home from work today, so I'll probably be a fraction late as well. If ya'll get there at 6 and no one is there, don't leave!!! I'm on my way!!!

Look under the tree if the park is empty-that's where we'll be hiding!

Ignore that Frisbee Golf thread!!! Come play Ultimate Frisbee today!!! That other Frisbee is just Golf... this is ULTIMATE!!!

I'll be lucky if I'm out of work by 7 tonight. Try and have fun all 3 of you

/as an aside, we ALSO need to do some disc golfing.

Disc Golfing! I totally agree. I will also give this Ultimate Frisbee thing a go as well just to show willing and ability to compromise

Like, today? Who needs to watch that stupid soccer game anyways?

P.S. I also just realized, if jayhay isn't there (along with my disc that I left behind last time), does anyone else have a disc? That'd be pretty annoying for everyone to show up and then we realize none of us have a disc!

@bsf

Shut up you silly little American person.

I would like to see your reaction if somebody tried to persuade you to play Ultimate Frisbee during the Superbowl... Leave me alone

No disc? I just got home, but I'm having serious 2nd thoughts...

sorry to say, no disc no frisbee... i guess i have something to put on my wishlist. well, we'll be keen again on sunday arvo, after a few beers at the grosshadernerdorffest (not sure if that is normally one word or not)

@Boston - Sorry I didn't make it. I didn't check the thread until today either, otherwise I would have let you know. Still, the forecast for the weekend is excellent (25deg on Sunday).

right so who is coming on Sunday, Who's bringing a disc?

am there, no disc.

am there no disc. Hopefully one or more comes. THis is getting silly we should import some.

Oh well, it looks like a nice day. Beergarden if no disc.

I'll bring my fancy Aerobie disc.

On a semi-related topic, I'll be in the EG not far from where we meet playing Volleyball starting at about 12:30. If interested just show up and look for the net. And me.

ok, I said I'd be there, so I will. However, my legs are working about as well as a bb gun against an elephant right now... so I don't know if I'll get much in the way of playing time. I'll probably end up a cheerleader today... and no, I'm not going to wear a slutty outfit (sorry for the letdown).

I'll be there with one guest and 3 discs (mine, Boston's and my other one). We're going to have a job finding space though!

I am now in possesion of a blue dolphin frisbee belongong to a certain american. If i get back to munich in time for frisbee tomorrow i'll bring it with me. Otherwise it'll have to be sunday.

Great time yesterday guys, nice weather and a refreshing lounge around the lake afterwards-perfect sunday afternoon

Good day yesterday but I really think we need to begin the plan for a northward move; it was ridiculously crowded!

Good game, but yes, we definitely need to relocate - at least for the Sunday meet-ups. I'll scout out the north part of the English Gardens this afternoon while I'm out running and look for a good alternative.

Ben is back this week, so he can pass the information on to the astronomers.

I'll post again this afternoon.

Ben will hopefully be back in Germany Wednesday morning. Might make it down that evening, but no promises.

So I had a look around yesterday and the best place I found was here:

There's a lot of space available in the north part of the gardens, but not that many places where the grass is cut or tolerably short. This place is near a fairly well-known biergarten (Hirschau) which makes it easy to find. It's hard to say how busy it will get on the weekend, but definitely quieter than where we've been playing.

To get there: From U-Dietlindenstr follow Dietlindenstr, take the 3rd left into Biedersteiner Str, then the 1st Right into Männlichstr. Männlichstr. turns into Mommsenstr. which turns into Werneckweg (going through the park). Eventually you arrive at the crossing with Gyßlingstr, which is where the Hirschau Biergarten is (from U-Dietlindenstr about 5-10 minutes on foot). Keep going straight over the Gyßlingstr. and then look to your left.

If you get lost, you can ask directions to the Hirschau Biergarten - from there it's only about 50m. Also: The Hirschau can be found in at hot-maps.de by searching for Gyßlingstr. 15.

I would suggest we stick with the usual place on Wednesday and try this next Sunday, meeting at U-Dietlindenstrasse the first time and walking together from there.

What do people think?

Looks like another rainy Wednesday... This time with T-Storms.

I would highly suggest you cancel if there are thunderstorms.

Have to put in real quick, I'm going to be gone for both the wed. game and sun. game this week. Should be back for the wed. game next week, and gone again for the sun. game next week.

Enjoy ya'll.

Why, showem? I was planning to use my special thunderstorm metal frisbee instead of a plastic one!

you might also want to leave your helmet at home, BSF.

cool pic, jayhay!

Looks like wetter.de is wrong again and it's going to be a nice day! I'm hoping this holds out till 6pm. See you there!

OK, I'm home, and feeling just about human. On the proviso that the weather stays good and I'm still coherent after 36 hours awake I'll be down. Who else is around?

Edit: And just as I hit "post reply", the first thunder rolls around Garching...

An hour before game time, and, while there was rain before, weather looks great now. Field will be wet, but there isn't any rain. Let's get a game going!

Still at work waiting for some shit to come together so that I actually get to do some, you know, work. Not gonna make it today.

You're killing me, Smalls! What is the "work" you speak of?

I've just emailed the folks from work with the new location. See you on Sunday at 4pm, at the new location

If any in the forum's unsure about finding their way to the new location, I'll be at the corner of Dietlindenstr and Ungererstr (just outside U-Dietlindenstr, U6) around 1540 on Sunday with my conspicuous day-glo orange frisbee. I'll set off walking from there around 1550.

hey tyler and I are back in town. Purchased a real Ultimate disc (which we'll bring) in the States. Woohoo!! We've missed you and are excited to play tomorrow at the NEW LOCATION!

It may be drizzling but I'll certainly still be there. See you in a bit!

Haven't been to mass in a few weeks, so I'm not going to be at ultimate this evening. I'm definitely in for Wednesday though.

Just finished oiling my frisbee and suddenly it's sunny again!
Hope it stays like this ...

Ben, I'm impressed. It's all I can do this fine day to crawl to the tub for a nice, hot recovery bath. Trek into town? Bah.

I'll have to try to make it next Wednesday. Only got back into town at 5.30 and couldn't find you guys. Next time I'll try the NEW LOCATION!

@IPJ: My folks called at 9.10am, usually this wouldn't be a problem but after last night I was not best pleased! I don't think I was actually hung over at all this morning, all the dancing must have got rid of any trace of evil in my system.

@greg: Wednesday is, I'm afraid to say, NOT IN THE NEW LOCATION - we'll be in the traditional Giselestrasse OLD LOCATION

@ Ben and mybutterfly I enjoyed learning some new throws yesterday (and learning about the origins of the universe :-). Looking forward to Wednesday in the OLD LOCATION ...

So who's coming out tonight?

I'll be there!

Dis homie be's makin' his sizzelf knownz.

OLD LOCATION TODAY (WEDNESDAY)

Won't be there until next Weds. A friend is coming into town tonight, and while with most people I'd drag them along to help them get over jet-lag, this kid is different. first, he is going to be backpacking around EU for a month or so, so smelly cloths right from the get-go doesn't help you get many places to stay. But more importantly, this kid is nicknamed 'Tequilla Bowl John' and has a habit of injuring all those around him without meaning too.

hehe, story time.

So, was on a 7-week intensive Business German course here in Germany that was through my school back home. That is where I met this kid. The teacher we had, while from our school, is a native German, and all of her family still lives here. Well, we went to a Museum in Dresden and our teacher's mother came along since she lived near there. While walking through a set of very thick glass doors, the student in front of TBJ openned the door, walked through, and intended for the next person to grab hold of it like normal. Well, the next person was TBJ... who decided to slip through the door as it closed. Well, with the expectation that the door was still being pushed open from the people in front, this 80 something year old woman tried to go through. I saw the door closing and this lady exactly inbetween both doors and lunged to try to stop the door from closing... which probably helped about as much as an ant helping you push a 2 ton boulder up a hill. Needless to say, the mother of our teacher had a VERY large black and purple bump on her head for about two weeks after that.
On our weekend off, TBJ went skiing in the alps with a couple of friends. Before hand, he had claimed he could ski (which I'm used to hearing from EVERYONE in the south... "I'm an awesome skier, I go once a year to XXXXX"... yeah... hm. right. anyway). However, while he could make it down the hill, up was another story. There was a t-bar on the glacier (like at most summer glaciers) which gave him some slight problems. Somehow the kid managed to put the t-bar between his legs w/o falling over, and then while in a nice steady section, fell over and proceeded to be draged up the hill by his nuts.
He also almost fell down a set of steps (ok, two, but thats not the point). But instead, was able to catch himself and keep upright... by grabbing hold of me and throwing my ass down the steps. Guess that's what I get for trying to help him not fall.
So, long set of stories short, in the interest of NOT producing injuries during the game, I will be keeping him a safe distance from other humans. I think his plane has already landed because I can feel the clumbsyness in the air. If you fall down today, just know that this kid is probably why.

Other than that, have a good game!!

BEAUTIFUL DAY!! We'll be there and my sister's in town so she'll be joining the party!!
