important announcements



The Midwest Open in Lexington on November 14-15 is limited to 48 teams. Registration opened two days ago and 24 teams have already signed up. How many teams do we plan on sending total? We don't have to have the line ups finalized, but we do need to pay 45/team in advance. 2 teams? 3 teams? 4?

Don't forget about Friendlies this Saturday in CoMO. My car leaves at 9am Saturday morning. Still 1 spot available.

Also don't forget that next Tuesday, Oct, 12 is for real, absolutely, no joking, bike polo demo/pick up games before the bike in movie at the atomic cowboy. We play from 6-8. Movie from 8-10. Zombieland.


OK? OK.

nick said...

Lucky,

They will be crying when they find out the lock in is the same weekend. They will be left all alone with a tent covered court.

Nick

Anchovy said...

Lucky, am i one of the people in your car for como? Can i be? Just let me know one way or another.

Anchovy said...

Nick, Francis, do you have a confirmed 3rd? Not stepping on lucky's toes, just wondering what tourney you Already have a lineup for?

King said...

That's pretty weak of Boston to attempt to have as much fun as the StL DEAD OF WINTER LOCK-IN

COMO~ ~ ~ ~ ~€====8

The STL Bike Polo Lock-In said...

Boston is awesome at stealing a good idea and making it lame.

And don't get me started on their accents.

Lucky said...

'Chovy, yes you are in the car. Right now it's you, me, and Sean. I assume there is a second car as well. Mine is coming back Saturday night.

Re: Nick and Francis' third. All combos will be tried and practiced until we find the perfect compliments to the Laser.

Anonymous said...

Francis what is your email? Give me a shout at nknobbe at gmail dot com

Additionally I requested housing for midwests for 6 to 9. They make it sound like housing is limited. KSB and NF? Will definitely be taken care of

Nick

Ben said...

Ha. I also replied to the housing request because I'd rather stay for free. I told them about 8 STL people would probably make the trek.

Hopefully, we'll get free housing. I think we replied promptly...certainly faster than most other clubs, I'd think.

Ben said...

The housing email was sent at 6:13 PM. I replied at 6:27 PM.

I think we'll get a slice of that limited free housing.

Andrew W.K. said...

PARTY TIP: This October has 5 weekends! It only happens once every 939 years! Take full advantage.

Anonymous said...

Hey St. Louis polo people, looking forward to playing you in lexy, i want a re-match from madison. I've got a secret weapon now.

-a2polo

here it is

Ben said...

You should've spent the night in CoMo.

Lucky said...

Registration for the Midwests is closed! Only 2 StL teams made the deadline. Auditions to be Nick and Francis' third started yesterday in CoMO. You can probably write to the Lex kids and ask to be an alternate, it's unlikely that all 48 paid teams will be able to make it in the end.

Polo today! Lindenwood at 2pm. See you there.

Anonymous said...

...and a grand time was had by all...

Kayce said...

Since we missed out going to lexington me and colin are trying to get a third for Louisville this weekend. Any takers?

Lucky said...

If you are able to/interested in helping to set up the court before the event tonight, show up around 5pm. Bring a cordless drill if you have one. Bring a push-broom. If you have some of those construction lights on a stand that gets tall enough, bring those too. The atomic has extension cords.

Hope to see y'all there!

King said...

I'll be there at 5:30-6 with a drill

Both my feet feel broken. What did I do?

Ben said...

Hey people going to Lexington. We have FREE housing. Couches and floor space.

We owe Katie Jo hugs and drinks.

Alex B said...

woops, I forgot about the Atomic demo until right this second, but I'll be there...

anchovy said...

coming asap

Ben said...

Did anyone take the boards down???

King said...

I think we forgot. O well.

King said...

POLO TONIGHT AT MAPLEWOOD. 6:00-9:45pm

Anonymous said...

What is polo, and where is maplewood?

Anonymous said...

if anyone has some electrical tape could they bring it to polo tonight, need it for a new mallet and can't find mine, thanks. -Patrick

Anonymous said...

Electrical tape for a mallet?

Lucky, do you have anymore of the heavy single cap mallet heads? I want one.. I won't be out tonight, but will be Sunday.

Sean

King said...

Sorry I was being pissy at polo dudes and chicks. I hadn't eaten. This followed by Patrick hitting me in both the hand and the foot really pushed me over the edge.

FACT: Maplewood is slick.

FACT: Patrick swings wildly and plays obliviously even though he's been playing for close to a year

zach-bloomington said...

So how many of you jokers am i gonna see in Louisville this saturday?? It'll only be about 16 teams but they have some sweet prizes...

The Lock-In said...

Attention STL players that go on LOBP (hahaha):

There are rumblings about whether or not another Lock-In will be taking place after the New Year. Please do not respond to these rumblings. Let the rumors and speculation circulate.

ANTOINE DODSON said...

Hide your kids, Hide your wife, Hide your husband, because STL Bike polo is coming to Louisville!

Andrew W.K. said...

PARTY TIP: Take yourself to the limit and then realize it's only a starting point! I believe in you! You will keep going!

Lucky said...

You folks have a blast in Louisville. Don't forget to keep the blog updated if anyone plays in St Louis Sunday afternoon, in case any of the people from the Demo want to find a game.

I'll be in Denver saying 'hey' to Evan.

Found it toph.
1186g b43 w/phil track front wheel
1420g aero spoke front.
Boo ya! We shoulda bet!

Ben said...

Did Toph try to convince you that Aerospokes are light? Toph is silly.

Anonymous said...

apparently, playing polo for 24 hours straight can get you in the Guinness Book of World Records. someone call up Guinness-they're invited to the lock-in.

http://poloholica.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/german-radpolo-meets-bike-polo/

Anachovy said...

yeah, he was like "check out how light this bike is" and i was like "thats not very light, its got those heavy b43's on it" and he was like, "not for long, its getting aerospokes" and i said, "im pretty sure aerospokes are heavier then those b43's, im willing to bet on it"
Toph would not bet me, so that was smart of him.
PS, congrats on the win Ben!

Ben said...

Thanks! Jake, Francis, Rose, and I all have stories to share next time we hang out. The weekend was an overall success. Everyone had fun...because having fun is easy.

Tim D. said...

They didn't win shit! COMO and STL both had 1 loss in a double elim. Shit's not settled yet. GO GO GO STOP, because you's gonna lose.

But in all seriousness...is Jake still alive?

Ben said...

Yeah he's still alive. He was feeling fine this morning after a night of chugging a pitcher of beer, shots of Fireball, $1 PBRs, and patio wrestling.

What did you expect?

He's from STL.

Tim D. said...

Hahaha...touche

Andrew WK said...

PARTY TIP: Go look at yourself in the mirror and say, "The rest of today is going to be a seriously kick ass party."

Deja Vu said...

Drunk father loses 3-year-old son.

Ben said...

Note to self: Not all of your bikes are set up like your polo bike.

I just grabbed a bunch of front brake expecting a wicked rear skid through a pile of leaves. I nearly landed on my face after ejecting over the bars.

Anchovy said...

Cross training!

King said...

Am I alive? More than ever!!! We were partying, dancing, and swimming while all youz were in bed Saturday nite! Serious puke = Party!

Shitty titties: I hearby invite you and the louisville crew to StL for a title match. In the dark. With motorcycles and chainsaws.

My eye hurts

Toph A. Loaf said...

hey ben. is that why your brakes say
"relax" and "shred" on them?

King said...

Toph is a retard.

NELLY said...

STL is #1.

Tim D. said...

Motorcycle chainsaw polo....add tigers and 'gators and you have a deal!

Grandchovy said...

Anonymous said...

Hey Jake! Fondle that wheelset you won. It'll make you feel better.

Toph A. Loaf said...

Grammar Police said...

The Third to last sentence is false.

Anchovy said...

Toph A. Loaf said...

Ben said...

He's also a doodyhead.

Can we get some insults with teeth, please? We have an image to uphold.

Lee said...

let's arrange a fight. It'd be good for our image.

Anonymous said...

ARANGE A FIGHT LIKE IN WEST SIDE STORY? Maybe WWE? Or UFC?

floppy said...

it could be the main event at a STL V COMO grudge match we could sell tickets and popcorn and then run out and call each other doodoo heads and give out beer showers

King said...

Lindenwood at HIGH NOON!!!!

Rose said...

Toph A. Loaf said...
