Whiskey-drinkin' Weaselhawk Iowans




Try some of this if you haven't. If you would've gone to Merlin's Rest after the game last night, you could've had some.



Post-Game followup


For those of you who missed out on grub and beverages at Merlin's rest after last night's "victory" over ASMP -- I looked up a couple of details and thought I should share them. Especially since nobody else is posting anything (except Jake -- love those awesome videos, man).

If you're a fan of shovels ...

... and in the Providence/Boston area:
if you're into bowling, and are in the St. Louis area:
(doooohh ... it looks like the museum's closed and will re-open in 2010 in Texas)
if you're a fan of John Wayne and happen to be in Winterset, Iowa:
While visiting Winterset, you can visit the birthplace of Craig Phillips (Madison County Memorial Hospital). Phillips lived across the street from the hospital at 305 Hutchings from 1957 through 1976. Soldier Field was just to the west of the Phillips home; Packer stadium was to the north, on the hospital grounds. Both sites also served as baseball and whiffle ball fields.

Heed the Kah


Fellow Weaselhawks --
Like a warm splash of Hamm's after yer second strike out, the '09 season has arrived with surprising speed and a hint of bitterness. Judging from our '08 record, we must have been cheated in every imaginable way by those agency assaholics.

Now calm down, calm down: here's your chance to get even.

Game 1 is April 28th, a mere 19 days away. '09 is promising to be a lot like '08, but with less losing:
- Every Tuesday at 6 or 7:15, 4/28 through at least 7/27
- Same fields
- Probably about $50 a head
- The same friendly faces:
W: Megan, Katherine, Sarah, Allie, Oona, Kris, Jessica, Colleen, April, Natalie, Kady, Teresa, Danielle
M: Dave, Matt, Craig, Travis, Jamie, Rollie, Witt, Joe, Marc, Jake

Please comment below and let us know if you're in or out. If you would like to participate but are likely to miss more than a couple games, please note that as well.

I know there are a few interested newcomers out there. May I suggest we wait until we know who's returning before we make formal invitations. In addition, the Cougars (who we scrimmaged with last May) are short a lot of players this year and have proposed merging us into an unbeatable Dream Team. Unless we lose a lot of people, this could be unwieldy. But maybe some Hawks want to become Cougars? The door is open.

Please comment/commit as soon as you can.
