Saturday, October 9. Columbia, MO. 2 hour drive.

Saturday, October 16. Louisville, KY. 4 hour drive. Friendly play and a double elimination tournament.

I still need to know if we can get 6 people, bikes, and mallets together on Saturday, September 25th to do demos at Grovefest.

Also, I got Friday and Monday off around holiday weekend so I can drive to Austin with Jake. Who else is down?

Tim A said...

I am very interested in going to ATX. Maybe we can work out a possible car pool.

I have no clue what the characters are all about. They were the first interesting picture in a google image search for "friendlies".

Mt. P or L-wood tomorrow? 1pm?

Also, txt me with info on whatever is going on tonight around town, I'm feeling especially lame lately, and want to go have some fun.

Toph A. Loaf said...

Lucky the bank robber said...

If it's too wet out to play at l-wood this afternoon, Imma go see the 2pm matinee of "The Town" at the Hi-Pointe. Y'all are welcome to join me.

nick said...

I have a cooler stocked full of free leftover beer, if anyone wants to go to the park and play some wet polo. Looks like the rain has stopped.

Throwback Mountain Dew. I'm training.

yuck. that stuff is terrible. i need HFCS in my dew.

Anonymous said...

i do applaud your exploration, though.

Lucky said...

I need 3 more people to tell me that they are definitely interested in hanging out at Grovefest this Saturday night doing polo demos and mixing it up with the passers-by. Me, Jake, and 'Chovy are for sures. Some others will be out of town or at work.

I've gotta tell the Cowboy by this time tomorrow one way or the other so they can make their plans. They want us to do it. The Handlebar wants us to do it. We spent all this money on boards, let's use 'em more than once!

Lucky said...

Also I can not make it to Austin anymore, and I need someone to look after the cats and plants from Saturday, Oct 15th through Wednesday, October 20th.

Toph A. Loaf said...

friday is my birthday. im celebrating saturday with the GF.
Topher OUT...

Anonymous said...

one of my family has a very serious surgery Wednesday, can't count on me making it to any polo this week, maybe I could, but won't know for sure until Wednesday evening. -Patrick

Anonymous said...

colin

Alex B said...

I don't know what the time frame is for grovefest, but I can be there from Whenever (I can help set up too) till 7. Will that work?

Lucky said...

I appreciate the offer, Alex, but you are only the 4th person to confirm that you can/want to do the demo, so I'm going to email Chip and say we can't pull it off.

People are busy, it's no big deal. Polo will survive. See y'all tomorrow evening for pick-up.

Tim D. said...

Dear Lucky:

If you're coming to friendlies here in a couple of weeks, could you bring a single capper (the heavy duty ones) that I may purchase?

PARTY TIP: Stop thinking about crazy shit. Start DOING it.

Maureen Grady said...

*Not Polo related* St Louisians! I have an activity yall could do this weekend if you have some free time. Stop by the St. Charles Octoberfest and head to the Garage Brewer's tent(my cousin's brew club). Buy some of their tasty homebrew and half of all proceeds are being donated to the Grady family to cover chemo and medical costs for my little cousin, Charlie Grady. Thanks for reading.

King said...

It's time to PLAY SOME POLO! Dress warm. Highs in the 60s. You know the drill LINDENWOOD PARK AT 2PM!!!

Remember: Hide your valuables!

alex b said...

on my way!

Lucky said...

Is anyone thinking about going to Lawrence this weekend, or Columbia the next?

Anchovy said...

I would like to goto both. More so como. I can drive to como (also means i can haul bikes up, but only bring 1 person). Lawrence, im interested, cant drive my truck 4 hours (a few hours is max in that thing).

Ps. Good polo sunday guys! New people were doing great. Im excited to play you guys more and more. Kaycee&colin, when you guys were on the same team it was awesome. Good passing/communication.
Anchovy

Kayce said...

We havent confirmed it, but Im pretty sure me and coling are going to COMO, and could hall bikes and one more person.

We are also taking aplications for the tournement in Lex. Lucky?

Francis said...

I was already planning on going to Lawrence next weekend for Scion garage fest. I forgot there were friendlies there at the same time. I have a ride out there with some friends, but no way to take my bike. If someone can take my bike I can probably get some games in on Saturday before the festival starts, and on Sunday.

Toph A. Loaf said...

i would like to go to como.

nick said...

i'm out for Como and for Lawrence.

Have fun!

Kayce said...

Fall polo for tonight?

Kayce said...

I thought today was wednesday, which its not. Disregard my previous post.

The Lock-In said...

Attention:

If you have random stuff to add to the Lock-In care packages, start gathering it together so we can start getting these packages out to the intended clubs.

Anonymous said...

I'm interested in CoMo and KY.... Cant commit yet, if I go I can haul 4-6 bikes and 4 cozy passengers. Do you go to tournaments with picked teams? Maybe I would make the B team if there is no C team?
Sean

Anchovy said...

Im going to como. Lawfence i will ride up. Cant drive there, but wanna go. I wanna goto ky also. Im a lone wolf as of now, no team.

Tim D. said...

Hey Anchovy,

Floppy and myself are most likely going to Louisville and may need a third. We'd be coming through STL to get there, and could pick you up along the way. We can talk about it at our friendlies if you come to that.

Lucky said...

I can drive to Lawrence. Up to 4 bikes and 3 other people. Wanna leave Friday evening or Saturday morning?

I'd want to be back Sunday afternoon, though. So leave KS before noon.

Same for CoMO. Leave Saturday morning. I'd like to come back Saturday night for Seth's birthday show at Off Broadway.

alex B said...

heyyy, Does anyone have some orange mallet head material? Can you bring it tonight?

thanks!

Andrew WK said...

PARTY TIP: Headbang on the toilet while spinning toilet-paper off the roll as fast as you can!

Lucky said...

I am out for tonight. Having a cold is icky. Having a cold and a mustache is extra-icky.

Anchovy said...

Tim- sounds good, i need to make sure no locals need me first, if not, then i like the sound of that.
Alex-i got an extra lucky made head, single cap you can have. Want that?
Lucky-Im calling dibs on a spot with you for both trips. Lawrence and como.

Saint Louis said...

Polo at Maplewood tonight at 6.

King said...

Amazing polo tonight. I hurt all over! You all kicked ass.

Anonymous said...

Alex B,

while swinging wildly and hitting your bike several times during that never-ending polo game wednesday, i noticed you don't have wheel covers, i have some free signs from work i could bring on sunday, at least enough for front wheel. -Patrick

Lucky said...

OK. I've got Me, 'Chovy, and Francis in a car on Saturday morning goin' to Lawrence. According to the internet, there will be players from StL, CoMO, KC, Larry, Tulsa, Denver, and Austin there.

Is there a second car or any other interested players from here? Shall we caravan and what not?

Anchovy said...

Im out for tgis weekend... Sorry lucky to cancel last minute. Something came up.

King said...

We need to practice on a big rink. And MT p has bathrooms behind every dumpster...

We don't need shade when highs are in the 60s!!!!

Alex B said...

i hurt all over. we must have done something right.

Ben said...

I agree with Alex. Mt. Pleasant polo FTW!

Alex B said...

ben by the end i thought you were about to mallet some of those kids in the crania...way to hold back

Lucky said...

Tatiana and/or Blake: Talk to your guy at bike works. Tell him that the Mt P kids need an earn-a-bike program down where they're at.

In other news, I'd like to leave my place at 9 sharp on Saturday with a car full of CoMO-bound kids. Anchovy has claimed one seat. 2 more available. I will be coming back Saturday night for Seth's birthday show at off-broadway.

Anonymous said...

I'm in for Columbia.. I'll take a seat in your car lucky or I can drive if we overflow.. I have to get to StL anyway..

I'll need to know where you live.

Let me know.

Sean

Lucky said...

I live on the corner of Parker and Lawn.

Anonymous said...

Alex,

here is the official trail map of Three Creeks conservation area, i've read that all the caves and springs are in the south, so probably best to park at the Tomlin Hill Rd trailhead, i'll camp friday for sure and then maybe sunday too if more people are interested, the south of the park is for mtn bikes too, we can talk more wednesday. -Patrick

Floppy said...

3 creeks is awesome for a place to camp. and there are a few MTB trails. Devils Icebox State park also has lots of trails and is just outside of town but you can't camp there. Also as always you can crash on my couch if it is too cold for ya.
