My husband, noshoes, is flying in on Thursday for the tournament but after we bought his plane ticket we discovered his team is not actually getting in until Friday so he has nowhere to stay Thursday night. I am hoping that one of the locals can do us a big big favor and let him crash on their couch for a night.

Im fine with you crashing on my couch. That said I am in Burbank, and work till 6pm-ish, and have kickball that night.

There is a shuttle bus/subway combo that can get you here for $10 bucks. Id say I can be your emergency place to stay if you cant find anything more convenient by thursday.

Im heading to Long Beach Friday at like 8PM to the current hotel.

I think some Whiskey Richard peoples are driving out Thursday, there's plans for a Magic Mountain/Disney trip Friday during the day.

Tim said they may make that decision last minute on Thursday.

Thank goodness our Cali brother has offered a backup plan. I'd really love to watch some Cali kickball on Thursday night!

Can you take him to LBC with you Friday afternoon?

NoShoes our thursday team is not competitive at all, just a group of friends who dont care at all about the competitive side of things. The team we are playing has 5 or 6 members of the foster kids on it though.

Are there ANY good teams in your Thursday league that are playing in the tourney? How many players from your squad are playing on your Thursday team?

No. Thursday is basically all just people making random teams with their buddies who dont necessarily care about the competitive side and dicking around. You will gain just about zero pre tourney info, but you can meet a few cool people. My wife and I are the only players form AKT who play in the league.

To be honest, I'm not in it for the info.

I just like seeing kick ass kickball plays. "Social" kickball hurts my brain. How do you guys turn it off for social ball, and then turn it up for Circuit level play?

I've played drunk in costume, complete with cape........ at charger, but I couldn't turn down the intensity. It was pretty funny, just ask Crash. The karaoke afterwards was pretty sweet, too.

The single people are going to 6 Flags (Magic Mountain), the couples are going to Disneyland.

Doesn't matter much to me, since I'll be at work/driving out while people are there.

fwiw, bryan's friday team has 9 women and they all show up every week in costume. at the beginning of the season, only one of them had cleats, and they were neon orange. one came out wearing ballet flats and another started wearing converse high-tops. when i suggested she should get some cleats she said "oh, i have tennies in the car i just can't find them right now..." he doesn't LIKE to play social, but that doesn't mean he CAN'T. we even played on a "sunday funday" league once! granted, from the pre-season meet & greet to the end of season party we heard a nonstop string of "you're a bunch of jerks! we hate you!"... that's beside the point.

thank you guys for taking care of him. i feel so helpless out here...

heh he's coming back to a double header with panik attack and the situation. we face them and back in black twice each in the next 4 weeks. tournaments are for meeting new people, seeing new places, and playing some ball. as long as those things are done, he'll have a good time regardless. :)
