Ultimate Frisbee - Wednesdays and Sundays

Arse, I won't be able to make it tonight.
My mum's bus to the airport leaves right in the middle of the frisbee session.
Hope you guys have a good game and that nobody melts in this sun.

Ben, can you bring the book on Sunday?

Yesterday I found an online sports shop that sells pitch markers (little plastic cones)
They're only 6EURO for 6 cones. What do you guys think -
Anyone willing to chip in a Euro?

They also have bright orange bibs to wear over your t-shirt which cost 2 EURO each.
It would make the dark/light t-shirt thing easier and we'd only need 8-10.

I will chip in for two euros!

I hope this means CLEATS


I would even chip in 2EUR towards 12 cones so that 2 people could have them (in case Ben is ever on vacation...). With 8 cones, you could have a complete end zone with back boundaries... but maybe we don't have space for that, heh.

Orange bibs... not sure how I feel 'bout that... depends how they look.

Although I'm happy to chip in a couple of E's for cones, I don't actually see that we need them. There has never been a shortage of bags/jumpers for corner markers -- and I certainly don't need any more to carry in from Garching! If someone else wants to get them and bring them every session fair enough, but I can't help but think that we are addressing a problem we don't have.

If we were a super rigid team wrt endzones and edges we should go the whole hog and get the touch rugby style movable lines, but I don't really want to get that technical... there are other frisbee sides in Munich that play to that extreme. I just want to run around and have fun.

I didn't suggest marker cones to address a problem. Someone mentioned cones to me last week and I though it was a good idea.
I think it would be useful to have the sidelines marked out as well as the end posts, and marker cones are very visible.
With such a long playing area it sometimes gets confusing (especially since we do run around like loonies, as eriiki tubbs so aptly pointed out).

It would also be clearer for other people in the park where we are playing (like stray dogs marking our their turf by peeing on trees).

I'd be happy to bring them along whenever I'm there. Otherwise I can pass them to someone who's sure they'll be at the next meet.

Why don't we just do that at all four corners?

P.S. Be at the game shortly!

cones are nice - but I agree with Ben - not really necessary. I don't think they'll stop the few strangers who stray across our playing area. I'm willing to chip in a couple euros for them, though.

Ben's main point though is also mine - I'm here to hang out with you guys and have fun!

Great game yesterday, although incredibly exhausting! Great time at the Chinesischer Turm afterwards as well!

I posted this in the TT Events forum, but for those of you that don't venture outside of the Ultimate thread, I'm having a leaving do at The Arc on Saturday, from about 7pm on. I'll obviously be at Ultimate Sunday and Wednesday as well, so it's definitely not the last time I'll be around.

The game on Sunday will be at the Dietlindenstrasse venue at 4pm. Just in case you don't know where to go, presuming you're coming from town cross the mahusive road that seperates North and South just at the back of Seehaus by going underneath - not the footbridge which goes over - then walk along the road that comes off to the right (well, goes straight on North really. When you see the sign for Hirschau look on the right for a kiosk. We play in the field next to that kiosk.

Afterwards we though we might do a bit of picnic action - either at the place where we play or over at Hirschau to say goodbye to jip, Abs and BSF. If you fancy doing this, post and say what you might bring... if nobody fancies bringing anything (understandable in this heat!) we can just do the usual food at Hirschau...

Too bad I can't be there. That makes me so sad!

Haynous!!! I have missed you the last several games and was so excited to see you on Sunday! Shucks shucks shucks. Is there anyway you can come? Anyway at all? Pretty please?!

I'm back...

and I didn't get blown up or arrested in London

After 2 weeks, I'm looking forward to tomorrow - bittersweet though - we'll miss BSF and Abs.

See you at 4

Wetter.com has 21C and partly cloudy for tomorrow pm.. Should be perfect. (unless 70% chance of rain hits lucky

Cam

I'll bring cold beer tomorrow. Let's have a proper celebration :-)

oh my poor head...

Great - beer always welcome. I'd recommend we hang around at the pitch and eat/drink after the game. We can always move on to Hirshau later on. If anyone wants to get my mobile no. in case they get lost just call.

I agree. Ouch. I will be there, however, I've no access to food, so I'm not sure if I can bring anything to eat. Food at the beer garden sounds like a good idea though!

i starting walking over... and turned right back around... i'm just not recovered enough from last night... i know, amatuer.

Just a quick last note before I leave, I thought the UF thread would be the most fitting place for my last post while in Munich.

Thanks to all who I have both competed with and against. I can honestly say that my time here in Munich could not have been as much (wicked!) fun without you all and the great games we've played. Rain or shine, I knew I would have some friends to chat with and play a game of Ultimate. I will definitely miss chatting with you all during and after the games as well. The memory of sitting down next to people from all over the world and just having a laugh and having some fun will stick with me forever, and is a memory I am proud to have.

Thanks for the great exercise, fun games, and great great memories and times!

-jip

We're going to miss you JP. You have been so much fun on the field. Not to mention you have some wheels for legs. Thanks for the good times. And come back to visit ASAP!

I had fun yesterday. The teams were well matched. Sorry I missed Hirshau.

JP, it was great having you play with us over these last few months.
Take care, have a good flight back and come and visit us if/when you're back in Munich!

I agree, yesterday's game was really fun. I'm already counting the hours/days until Wednesday
If the weather is good next Sunday, I'll follow Lars' lead and be the one to bring an enormous bag of beer.
If was fun sitting around the pitch after the game and drinking a helles.

What a fantastic ultimate ultimate game! Despite the many who had wicked bad hangovers, it was of course fun (we missed you Izabella but certainly understand)! I will post the pics soon.

I'm sure gonna miss y'all. Thanks for the fun times this summer, and the great Muenchen memories!

Aww... goodbye to all the folks leavin! Jip and Abs, definitely will hope to see you again visiting here.

On another topic: moved my deutsch Unterricht from Wed-->Thu so I can now make it on Weds! Scweeeet.

Edit: BSF, won't say goodbye until after playing 1 more game in 2 days

Might be tough, dude, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be there. If I am I'll cya there, if not, it's been an amazing time playing with you all. Thanks for all the great times on and off the field! Someone is going to have to carry on the BSF dive tradition, who wants to do it??

Hrm, how to answer that one...
a) now that my ankle is 98% better I'll be divin' my ass off
B, i'll just run fast enough that I never have to dive.

You could always use B, as an incentive to come out Wednesday I just ran 7 or 8 miles, so should be pretty well ready for a killer game by then.

Hope to see ya there... if not, we'll talk later anyway 'bout longer freefalls than the 0.5s diving for the disc.

edit: b w/ ) makes a damn smiley...

BSF, Abs, jip,
Sorry to have missed your last couple games (and apparently was a little late to The Arc on Saturday) but thanks for the good times on the field and in the Biergartens. take care!

Andrew

Weather's not looking good for this afternoon - 60% chance of rain

Assuming I get my poster done and a shed load of other things... tonight we'll be playing at the Giselestrasse site at 6pm. See you there.

it's cold and wet out there ...

... perfect day for a game of ultimate and to mourn life in Munich without some of our friends.

BSF - if my old bones can make it, so can you. I dare you to try and block one more of my throws!! I DARE YA!

Unless there's a torrential thunderstorm, i'll be there by bike.

Might be watching Napoleon Dynamite afterwards... it has been stuck in my brain since we talked about it ~2wks ago!

The weather satellite shots I saw makes it look like the rain has mostly passed us by ... (fingers crossed)

Sorry guys - poster is not finished and I have a whole pile of other things to do too before I get home tonight, so I'm not going to make frisbee. See you in a couple of weeks!

[meanwhile, I guess Jay will be making the decisions on where to play - hope the weather gets better for you]

Shame!
Haynous, I think you're right that the rain has passed us by.
I'll definitely be there tonight, can't wait.
See you in a little while...

I'll be out there in 15 mins.

Well looks like it was a bit low of a turnout for a game. But quite a nice throwaround!

See you all in about 2 weeks...

yeah ... small group, but the U2 background music was pretty nice!

I'll finally be in town for a Sunday throw-around. Weather is iffy, but if it isn't an absolute downpour I'll see everyone there.

Given that the weather's looking a bit iffy,
tomorrow's frisbee will be in the usual location:
The English Gardens near Giselastrasse at 16:00.

Please everyone pray for sun.

U2 must have been fun to hear in English Gardens, it was a little easier to hear in the Olympic Park! Barring any suprise U2 concerts, see everyone tomorrow. "It's a BEAUTIFUL day, don't let it get away..."

Sorry guys I wont be able to make it - I'm sick in bed but I hope I'll be good to play Wednesday! Have fun!

I will be there unless it starts completely pissing down. Bringing a friend as well. Hopefully there'll be a good turnout, see ya all out there!

I'll be there too, can't wait to run around like an idiot again.

the sun is shining now ... but no telling how long it will last. I'm in, of course, too, even if we have a little drizzle.

Can't wait!! See you all there!

I'll come out...

The weather's looking good, the cloud forecasts too ...

If you're thinking about coming along for the first time ... do it!

We'll be meeting up in the English Gardens near U-Giselastrasse at 4pm,
and we're all very nice and friendly

... I don't know ... I heard that Julian bites.

I just wanted to say to everyone that played today:
Great game!

@ Camman
The two websites I mentioned for lift-sharing were:
www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de (free to use)
www.mitfahrzentrale.de

@ Ifgani (the person who asked me about buying a frisbee)
The last time I bought the discs from this onlineshop.
We placed a large order and got the discs for 11,50EUR each.

Agreed, great game today. Well matched teams made it all the better...

And, somehow the rain managed to completely miss us, except for about 1 minute of minor drizzle. Quite lucky, considering the abysmal forecast.

Super game today, and with the uninvited 3rd team (The Wind), there were some great opportunities won and lost.

Thanks to all, esp the newbies - see you on Wed at 4!

Cam

Always a blast playing with you all, and great to see so many new faces. Can't wait to next time!

- e tubbs

Ditto the great game! Hope everyone can make it out again on Wednesday.


I was wondering how the turnout would be with the forecast, but it turned out great. Lots of skills from the first timers, too - awesome!

sigh... sounds like I missed a great game! Have to find some folks to play with at this conference, but I'm not holding out much hope

For Wednesday's game ...

- Meeting at 18:00 in the English Gardens near u-Giselastrasse
- Everyone welcome: from never-played-befores to world champions
- Directions to the playing area at the start of this thread. PM me if you're unsure!
