Amazing! Well done Rose!

Rose said...

Hey dudes (and the girl)!

We got an interesting message on the ol' Facebook today:

"Hi. I'm a writer/photographer for St. Louis Magazine, and I've heard bike polo is a fun time. Interested in taking some fotos for a foto essay of the players that would run at stlmag.com,please. Would that be ok? Are u playing this Sunday at Mt.Pleasant Pk., please? Thanks much!
-Byron"


Please post ASAP if you are interested in participating in this/able to play on Sunday. This could be good for getting some more new players out. I told him I'd let him know what turnout/interest was looking like.

King said...

Sold

More info:

"The fotos would be introduced by a paragraf or 2 about the sport and how it's played. Each individual foto will not have a caption. I don't need to get anyone's name, either, the fotos will tell the story.It looks like a blast -- and a chance to test out my camera's high-speed capabilities!"

So far:
Rose
Francis
Jake
Toph

Let's get a few more!

I'm off all day. I would love to play earlier than later due to heat, but i'll play all day I suppose.-Dave

Rose said...

So knowing our timeliness, I told the photographer 3, but he's got to be somewhere at 4 and decided to postpone. He does still want to do a piece on bike polo, it'll just have to be another week. I can ask him for some possibilities and let you guys know.

King said...

Why 3? Why not just actually show up earlier? Disaster

Rose said...

I emailed before I saw any of this talk, and I spoke based on prior experience. Sorry.

King said...

All is well! Polo people?

We have Rose,Fran,Vince, The Girl and me. We need at least one more so come play polo!

Rose said...

We got a post on FB from a guy asking what time we play (I talked to him last week at the court). I'm willing to risk a five-person/bike night if it means getting someone new out.

King said...

I just found a perfectly good goal I. The alley. Has netting and everything. Anyone in the club want it? Otherwise it's going back in the trash! -Jake-
