I think I've mentioned this idea to everyone in person, but here's all the info in one place: I wanted StL Bike Polo to host a fun, dead-of-winter, non-competitive, indoor event at the Skatium, pretty much just cos it's there and we can.
Today I finally talked to Robert, the owner and nailed down some details. We tentatively have the whole Skatium reserved from 12:30pm Saturday, January 16th until 11:30am on Sunday, January 17th. That's right, an overnight lock-in.
The rules: We can have outside food. We can roll out sleeping bags. We don't have to change our equipment or tires or anything to spare the rink surface. We have to buy our drinks from him, 2 dollars a can for beer 1 for soda, and he can only serve until 1 am. He discounted the hourly rate down to 800 bones for the entire 23 hours. He will need a 200 dollar deposit in the next couple weeks to secure the time.
Yes? Sounds like fun?

BIKE POLO EVERY SUNDAY!
View Larger Map
We still play bike polo every Sunday at Lindenwood Park. Anyone who is interested in playing should show up at 2:00pm. We have a loaner bike available. Post a comment if you want to use our loaner. We also have plenty of extra mallets available. What else do you have to do on Sundays?

How the other half lives
I got curious about horse polo after reading Doug D's recent post. Turns out, horse polo is hella played in the greater St Louis area. Anyone want to take a drive out to west county with me and picnic around huge, sweaty animals some Saturday afternoon this summer? If we wanted to try to get Billy Busch's sponsorship attention, we could try to set up a parking lot exhibition match.

Dayton this weekend.
Sorry I left last Sunday without getting this stuff straightened out. I'm going. I can drive 2 other people and bikes comfortably. I can drive 3-4 other people and bike uncomfortably.
Leaving as early as possible on Saturday morning to get in on all the pick-up going on that afternoon. There will be a huge alley cat Saturday night. Sunday is the tournament. Monday is Memorial Day, which you should have off. I don't care if we leave Sunday night or Monday morning. Google maps sez it's a 6 hour drive.
Our hosts would like us to bring our own sleeping bags, pillows, and towels. If we are more than one, but less than two teams, Lee gets first choice of team to be on. There may be some stragglers from CoMO to fill in an All-Missouri squad. I'll look for my St Louis City flag. It's around here somewhere.

Friday Night Bike Polo?
The rain appears to be gone for the rest of the night.
Friday evening bike polo?
Lindenwood Park could be a great way to start a night on the town!
