Day drinkers ASSEMBLE! > it's almost that time again for the semi-annual SLOSHBALL games! Mark your calendars for OCT23 at 2pm, when the desert weather makes it's official transformation to paradise and ideal conditions for some kickball and daydrinking. For those of you who haven't made it over the last 8 years, here's what's up.
Your favorite childhood sport of kickball has been given an adult touch: beers. Kegs at home plate, 2nd base and each of the dugouts. Everyone must have a cup in their hands at all times. You will be kicking, fielding, catching, throwing, stumbling, falling, etc. with that cup the entire game so it can get tricky. If you spill [you will probably spill] you will have to drink up and if you drop your cup [you may drop your cup] you are assessed a keg-stand penalty [no such a penalty].
But if you think you can get away with violating the rulebook, you're wrong. The ever hilarious Mulchcast Comedy Team will be returning for the 3rd time as our trio of umpires with flags and whistles to call you out in the name of fun.
There are 5 outs per inning, 10 outfielders, multiples base runners at 2nd, etc. along with some other quirky kickball twists but all of those will be briefed to you on game day.
As always there will be live music, food, and beer galore. So what to wear? Whatever you want but note that the event is the weekend before Halloween so it's a good opportunity to try your costume out in the zBORED costume contest [we've seen some wild, weird, sexy and hilarious outfits since 2003 so we encourage you to have some fun w/ your garb]. Otherwise, dress for the weather and comfort and note the team colors if you wish to pledge allegiance to one team or another. There has been a rivalry brewing over the last 2 years b/t team Stanky Legg [red/black] and team Ballz Deep [blue/black], defending champs of this spring's contest.
So who will be the victor this time? Come and find out. Bring a friend, bring your dog. Hide your kids, hide your wife. There will be blood and hangovers.
