(not the) april recap

It's well overdue, so before I get into my monthly summation of all things Crock, I'm going to overuse commas while describing last weekend.

The Cal U Ultimate Frisbee team traveled two and a half hours north to Tionesta, a small time town with big time trees. Here, we shacked up with Tyler's parents, who own a motel, and very graciously put us up for two nights. Saturday saw us stroll into Clarion to take on the only two teams who showed up for this tourney. We did very well, winning both games as a Cal U team. After our wins, we were treated to a "hat tournament" where every one's name goes into a hat and teams are assembled in the "pick em" fashion. There were about six of us who were accidentally left out of the hat (myself included) so I ended up on my good friend Eric's team. Without going into much detail, I'm sad to inform you that our team didn't fare so well. A lot of memories were forged during those games we played as a "hat team". Most are forgettable! Towards the end of the hat tourney a mighty rain squall rolled through and forced us indoors for about an hour. We resumed frisbee activities and continued our now famed losing streak. Heidi and Ali were the mudpuppies of the afternoon, finally making good on their promise to mud wrestle (sort of).

That night, we kicked off the festivities with a game called "WAH!" - a traditional frisbee game which we quickly turned into a drinking game. Instead of sitting out whenever you messed up, you simply drank and were able to keep playing. It added a certain mystique to the game that is rivaled only by beer pong or maybe circle of death. What a fun way to kick off a night. After dusk settled and we were all WAH'd out, we chilled around the campfire for a bit until the night peaked when some skinny dipping went down. Shortly thereafter, we called it a night.

Sunday, the remainder of the team that stayed the extra night went to a state park near Tionesta. We talked as we walked along the trail and Reese took some killer pictures. (see my facebook until I flickr them) We hit two trails, nearly completing both of them. Jokes were plentiful and the times were amazing. Looking back, I couldn't think of a better way to round out our last tournament of the semester. Later that night, we returned home to elect new officers and get some paperwork ready for the fall semester.

This Friday, I'm hosting a bonfire for the team. Can't wait.

Monthly recap coming later today. Stick around.
