We're going to mount it to the wall in a way that ensures it'll never be removed, but I think we should invest in armed guards that watch over the crest morning, noon, and night.

So great, Lucky! I didn't get a chance to see it close up last night, but it is way cool.

I'll be late tomorrow, but I'll be there.

I tried to go shovel Mt. Pleasant, but it's worse than I've ever seen it.

So if anyone wants to play polo on Sunday, we need to find a new location. Most likely a garage or warehouse. We have several places in mind.

i just emailed my last final paper for the semester and i've got full health, so i'm ready to get back to poloing asap. any decisions on location for tomorrow?

Alex B! said...

My buddy who wants to support the polo cause works at a warehouse in Clayton. He says the place could potentially be available for polo evenings and weekends. Apparently it's a big enough space, though it's not heated and there are an unknown number of pillars in the space.

I'm planning to go Monday or Tuesday to check it out. I'll take some pictures and post 'em up somewhere. If anyone else wants to come too just post a phone number and I can let you know before I go.

...to see where we're attempting to play polo today at 1:45.

Polo seems to be a bust. There weren't enough interested people.

But there will be sledding sometime tonight. Keep your eyes on the blog to see when and where we'll be breaking ourselves on steep, slick surfaces.

Polo tonight at the Forest Park Community College parking garage. It's Christmas break, so it should be empty.

Does anyone know a good place to get wheels built, or someone who can build them?

Connor said...

Nick, I can lace the wheels and true them, I just don't have the parts to build wheels at my disposal anymore...anybody know of a job to fill the next 2 months that I'm laid off for?

Nick,
Mark at Ballwin Cycles builds wheels fast, If you tell him I sent you it'll probably be on the cheap side.
