Cheap drinks, specials and a hell of a time! Get wasted and see your fellow kickballers in their nicest Saturday attire. Party starts at 7:00 pm and concludes at 11:00 pm in the sky lounge (upstairs). Theme to be determined in the coming weeks. Monday, June 23: Fall Registration is Open! That's right it was so fun last fall we're doing it again this fall. If you're interested, email us to reserve a spot for your team, or yourself as an individual. When: Sundays starting September 7 running through until the Playoff Day, Saturday November 8 Cost: Still the most economical league in the area at $46.00 a person, you can't beat that! Game Times: 10:30am and 11:15 am so we can get done in time to head to our bar to catch each Sunday's NFL action that's going on that day. Parties: Still having 3 parties, the Beer OH Lympics and outings during the season itself. We'll defi- nitely hit up a Nats game for sure. I sense a scavenger hunt as well as a Flip Cup tournament...stay tuned. Monday, June 23: Happy Hour Kickball is going out to hang out with the Nats at their new digs, Nationals Park. The plan is to do a little pre-game tailgating in Lot 8 at good ole RFK starting around 4:30 pm. This will include beer, shotgunning of beer, and maybe some flip cup. Afterwards we hop on the Nats Express and head over to the game. If you’re interested sign up for the event on the Ning page, or shoot us an email at [email protected] Saturday, July 5: Happy Hour Kickball goes Tubing! Do you feel like rolling down a river in a tube with a beer? I thought you would. This is tentative based on interest. If you’re into it, let us know at [email protected] Saturday, August 2: Playoff day and Kick Ass End of the Season Party. Details are still being worked out, but count on it being a great way to wind down after a long day of tournament style kickball. Awards ceremony and crowning of the Summer 2008 Happy Hour Kickball League Cham- pion. Can the ‘Runz repeat? Rainouts—In the case of a rainout, the website will be updated by 4:30 pm, the day of the game. If the rainout occurs after 4:30 pm, the division heads will contact captains, or the appointed contact persons, and it will be the captains’ responsibility to inform their respective teams. Of course our specials at the Barking Dog will still be honored. Referees—Each must provide a referee, either for the 6:30 pm game if you are playing at 7:15 pm or for the 7:15 pm game if you are playing at 6:30 pm. Failure to provide a referee will count as a forfeit. Forfeit Policy— Only really occur if you have less than 4 people, this will be very difficult to accom- plish, so we don’t think this should be an issue… The Morning After… Page 3 www.happyhourkickball.com Happy Hour Kickball’s Kick Ass Mid Season Party Preview It’s that time again, time for a Happy Hour Kickball tradition, a kick ass party! This year, Kick Ass Mid Season Party is taking on a theme, because everyone loves a good theme. The theme is 70’s Disco Love Boat Style! What exactly does that mean, well I’m not exactly sure, but I damn sure want to see what you guys come up with! Think 1970s on a cheesy boat, or just go nautical, or just go Disco, or just go plain old porn stache! In any case, you know you’re going to have a kick ass time! The specifics are below, but know that costumes and dressing up to fit the era is most definitely encour- aged. Hope to see you there, I’m out all you Happening Guys and Foxy Ladies! The Details: When: Saturday, June 14 at 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm Where: The Barking Dog (upstairs) Cover: None for HHKBers, $10.00 for friends What you get: All the beer you can drink until the clock strikes 11:00 pm, ya dig?!

Booty Call The Morning After… Page 7 www.happyhourkickball.com Confessions from the K Man With the sequel to Twister causing a cancellation of the games, a crucial decision had to be made regarding the bar. To lure us in Chris “I throw my sunglasses at night” Bocquet promised free booze but that also meant having to endure another hungover Thursday. Being that I still haven’t accepted the fact that I am a professional, it was a go for the bar. A good crowd of usual suspects showed up and it turned into a typical kickball night full of drunken dancing, battle of the sexes flip cup, and Partay Martay’s patented “feet falling out from under him” ma- neuver. Wearing business attire while playing beer pong & flip cup led to questions as to what I was doing with my life, when it hit me that I may be living out a real version of the movie Big. Now I am no Tom Hanks but the similarities were too obvious to pass up. I don’t remember coming across a wish granting Zoltar machine but alcohol can make you do crazy things. All day long I spend my time fooling people at work that I am a responsible employee while having no idea what I’m actually doing but somehow managing to get the job done. I wear the same pair of Doc Martins to work that I’ve had since high school, just like Hanks’ high tops. Most of the time I’d rather watch TV or play games rather than contribute anything to society and I’m not allowed in FAO Schwartz after an incident with a pogo stick, a trampoline, and a large stuffed giraffe. Thankfully, I don’t have bunk beds or an inflatable Godzilla in my room but I do have a skeeball machine.
