Ultimate Frisbee - Wednesdays and Sundays

okay, i have no clue if´I still know how to throw these things but I think I will give this a try on Sunday, especially since parnell told me he'd be there as well and how could I miss seeing that huge old fart trying to throw a frisbee that is the size of his fingernail.

If you're not careful I'm gonna sit on you on purpose sweetpea

that would imply you're fast enough...whichis not the case

ultimate frisbee sounds fun ! (...well after reading just a couple of your messages :-)
where does it take place?
if i'm not feeling lazy on sunday, i think i'd like to join you guys...

actually, yeah, since I haven't been to the new Sunday location yet, is it the same as in the picture, or did ya'll find somewhere else...?

Over a short distance and after the right piece of chicken breast I'm mustard chum - plan B is to shoehorn you with the frisbee.

The session on Sunday will be at the Dietlindenstrasse / "New Location" given on the very first post on this thread. We meet at 4pm.

I think I'm looking forward to meeting parnell and CodeRed - but they've got me a bit worried now - you do know that UF is non contact right guys?

this could be a silly question, but is it just males playing on sunday?? females are welcomed, right??

@ HRC
Silly question ... CodeRed is coming , aren't you sweetness ?

By most people im regarded as female (3 Lions being the exception), and i'll definately be there. For further proof of women look in the gallery, i posted some frisbee pics there a few weeks ago.

dude, nothing to worry about. parnell just played some premier league rugby in Ireland, I gave it up after 4 weeks in Germany. we can't even SPELL contact.

parnell: shut up, last time around you liked those tits of mine...

@HRC: Usually it's about 60:40 male / female. Generally the girls play better than the boys, but don't tell them I said that.

+ karma your way ben

Not sure if I'll be able to make it tomorrow (same reason why I couldn't make it today). Hopefully I can make it. A Sunday wouldn't be the same without playing some ultimate, and facing the scary defense of the random noise yelling!

hey man, that defensive tacktic is tried and tested to work! It just doesn't seem to be as effective when it's wet.

Fucker , you swore you'd never tell anyone about that ... I was hungry and you were lactating...

...and just to lift the tone a little, a quick reminder that we're playing at the Deitlindenstrasse venue today, 4pm. All welcome, and please bring a light and a dark shirt.

See ya there. Can't guarantee my legs will show up tho. Anyone got spares?

@ibskiboy: No problem, but my spares may be a little big for you.

Just hope i can find ye now ... kinda looks like a big area. No chance that we could coagulate at a particular U-Bahn station at a particular time ?

My U bahn arrives at Dietlindenstrasse at 15:39. How about I'll hang around there till 15:45 then wander down - on the corner of Dietlindenstrasse. I'm pretty recognisable, very tall and look quite like the picture in my profile. I'll PM you my number just in case you miss us.

@ bp - you're on - maybe u can hang at the platform --- I'll be the nerd who looks totally clueless

I've given a few other people that location for a meetup so we should stick to the crossroads - I have to admit I can't remember whether you need to go to the town end or the out of town end of the platform for the right steps! I'm sure you'll find me.

I can see a horde of people reading the thread... just to reassure you, although the weather looks a bit threatening http://theyr.net/cg/cny/I1bc928/F=js*v*041...4*DE*de_Munchen suggests that it's going to be okay till 7ish.

At the crossroads is a gasstation - suggest that we meet there ... not even I can fuck that up.

Yeup, that's the one. I'll be on that corner.

Sorry for not showing up. I had a nice tour of the park but could not find the place. There was some uncut grass in the Dietlinderstr area, but that's all I could find. Try again on Wednesday...

Ok possible new location to play. Maybe someone who lives near it could go check it out for the busy on a sunny day factor, but I've seen people playing ultimate there before so I assume its ok.

Is that the front and back garden of the pinakoteks? If so, I have also seen people playing there. Seems that every time I've been there on a sunny day it's been empty except for a group on one or the other lawn. I can check it out on a nice day and evening if the decision is made to switch.

I'm not sure exactly what it is...I just seen the grass and peope playing. Defo check it out as it looked like a decent surface when I went past it.

It is the Pinakotheks. The north side one would be difficult to play on, as it gets a lot of walking traffic between the museums, plus there are lots of sunbathers there. The south side one is less busy, but I've seen others out there playing things too, so you might need to mark off area or something.

It's a great location (1 minute from me) but I don't think they would appreciate you playing on it when it's wet and ripping the lawn to shreds.

When it is wet we can stick with giselestrasse - the problem for us is when it is very hot and lots of people sun bathe (I'm guessing that would be a problem at this venue too). Dietlindenstasse suffers that it is a bit midgy and waterlogged, and quite lumpy. Hmmm...

Well, why not break out of central Schwabing? Head to Nymphenburg or Westpark or Luitpoldpark.

Because it takes long enough to get into town from Garching as it is!

No, seriously, these are great suggestions and I'll look into them. Thanks showem!

Welcome. Even more welcome if you + karma for it.

I had a great time despite being soaked to the bone getting back to my car. See you all next Sunday I hope

@showem: done (you karma camelion you)

OK, OK, pot, kettle, black...

Great game today, everyone!
Paul: Nice one for the map!

The problem with playing around the Pinakothek is that the Wegwerfgesellschaft (="Throwing Away Society", another Ultimate club already play there on Sundays and Wednesdays - see here http://www.wegwerfgesellschaft.org/). By the way, Andre and I ended up having to stay at the Hirschau for another hour this evening - the heavy rain kicked in just after Ben et al headed home.

I agree that Dietlindenstr is no cop as an alternative for those very sunny Sundays. Marsh + flies + ditches + holes = a bit shit. So where else could we play? Somewhere not too far from the U6 / Schwabing / English Garden ... football field maybe?

Any ideas, frisbee fans?

Frisbee in Andechs - BostonSportsFan's 21st Birthday

It turns out that BSF is a lot younger than he looks, and coincidentally it's his 21st birthday on Saturday when TT goes to Andechs to eat, drink and be merry. As a special birthday treat we'll be taking the frisbee along and playing for about an hour somewhere enroute - there are plenty of big open spaces on the way there if you walk, and copious refreshments at the monastry afterwards.

Game on Sunday will still happen, this is a supplimentary event. If you're interested, sign up on the Andechs signup page (get there from the first post of the Andechs thread) and then post that you want to play on this thread. We'll be at the monastry about an hour after the main group... should be a good one.

Great game on Sunday, everyone!

What happens when the U6 pops out the other side of town - is there any park land down there? One of my collegues lives down there, I'll ask him.

i'm often at the location marked directly across the lake from the seehaus. it's usually got some available space, even on weekends when i've been there. plus... the seehaus is a really nice post-frisbee spot

@Izabella: Do you mean the little place to the up-left of the picture or the big area where we normally play?

I'd guess that the little place will be even more crowded with picnicers and sunbathers than the big field... but I'm certainly prepared to be corrected. Is it flat too?

Incidentally, we decided that the Hirschau biergarten is even better than seehaus... While you don't have the lake, you do have excellent huge tables, correspondingly huge umbrellas to escape rain from and, even more importantly, a mass of Helles is an euro cheaper!

Sorry I didn't make it out yesterday. Definitely looking to play on Wednesday though. The weather seems like it's going to be perfect (hopefully the forecast holds).

A good game yesterday, and the weather was v well timed! See you on sunday guys.

I expect to see a good turnout Weds. No weather based excuses this time!!!
And I'll be bringing a friend... if ya'll look in the archives... there is a story about him... Tequilla Bowl John. Bring pads, helmets and face guards... this kid is dangerous.

sorry I couldnt make it yesterday, I forgot that I am on antibiotics when I posted that I would come. I shouldnt really do any sports right now as the doc says. BTW: Make sure nothing bites you in the head. Really doesnt look good on your head.

Chewy how about emailing me the pic of my injury from yesterday and i'll decide if its postable or not?

My cameras taking the day of work, so i'll pm it to you when i get home later

...and it's definitly not postable. I don't want to put people off with your ugly bleeding mug! Hopefully it's better now?

what the heck happened?
