Places I would rather Occupy than Wall St

I would rather occupy:

-Aces and Eights
-Boss Tweeds
-Court B
-Rachel and Danielle's apt
-The 13th Step
-Arrow Bar
-F#@& Camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aces!

Let's just look at the first line of the book I am reading right now!

spACES

Take a look at this. Aces' space is becoming a restau/ "avant-garde" performance venue. Sounds pretentious to me...

It's not Tuesday, but....

I'm feeling kind of funny
My nose is getting runny
It's Thursday in this city
But it's making me feel pity
I wish I could play ball
Or at least kick around a doll
I'm missing all the boozers
Even though some are users (kidding!)
It would be great fun
If we all went for a run
Around the bases
Never forget Aces

Where will we go?

There's no Aces
Won't see their lovely faces
Now I'm sad

I don't know where we're going
Just hope it's nowhere showy
'Cause that would make me mad

I want to eat a pizza
Maybe somewhere on Bleecker
But that's kind of far

Do you like pepperoni?
I think meat is phony
Everyone agrees

The new Aces ?!?!

They're changing Aces to 34A?? That's pretty lame-o, if you ask me. Do you think Tia will change her name too?

I'm boycotting using this name. It doesn't sound like fun to say "oh, I'm going to 34A, tonight." It reminds me of my old training bras, or some really high-end apartment. Grrr.

Poeku Toeku

I'm at work early
There's time to lose
What better start to the day
Than writing poekus?
I could hang with my team
Every day of the week
My liver might hate me
But we're at our peak
Two wins in a row
What will this week bring?
I don't know, but maybe
at the bar we can swing
Probably not
Aces doesn't play those songs
I wonder who
At the bar wears thongs

Happy Poeku Tuesday

It’s only Tuesdays that means two more days
Until we can hit up beer buffet.
I hear Aces and Eights is open once more.
Now I’m looking forward to Thursday even more.
It holds a special place in my heart.
If I had to explain why I wouldn’t know where to start.
I love their prices. So cheap they are.
When I have to stumble to the subway I don’t have to go far.
The bar staff is really the best.
They serve up those pitchers with the ultimate finesse.
Their bud light tastes delicious and is sooo so fine.
I can spot out Aces in the NY skyline.
When they closed it was a social disaster.
I wish they had opened up their doors faster.
Aces and Eights holds great memories of seasons past.
Some of them I remember. Others have passed.
So this Thursday is like a homecoming game.
And in this poem my love I proclaim.
This week my team will drink more than enough.
For Amy Whinehouse and the Hoff.
This week beer and sweat we will ooze.
Because Win or Lose, We Still Booze.

Suprise...

This video has been a work in progress for a VERY long time. Ask Divya who has had to watch several versions. I really really hope you like it. I have had an AMAZING time with all of you these past few weeks. I have even grown to love our forest green shirts (not as much as pink *hint hint NYCSSC throw us a bone next time* but they do go nicely with my day glow shorts) Let me know what you think.

Happy poeku day!

This week our other favorite blog, Action Weekly featured alot of posts about fashion. There was a lovely picture of Matt's tangerine shirt that was rather snug and left little to the imagination. There was even a post about our capes! In honor of Action Weekly's fashion week, my poem is about WOLWSB kickball fashion advice!

Kickball is unlike any other game.
You gotta look good or suffer shame.
You better impress while you play.
WOLWSB will show you the way.
The first step to lookin good on the court
Is to wear a pair of shorts that are really rather short.
Long pants or shorts just get in your way.
Lots of leg showing is the way to play.
But please girls please, do not appeal.
You can be a lady in the street but a freak on the field.
Another thing that your team can try
Is wearing black lines under your eye
This looks good and can be kind of scary
And will make your opponent feel very unwary.
Glow sticks really sparkle and shine.
And light up the bar while you’re flippin in line!
And last but not least and the best advice to speak.
Is to wear a cape, a different color each week.
They look so lovely and make you feel like you’re flying.
You can run and catch balls without really trying.
A cape is how you razzle dazzle and impress.
It is the most important item to put on when you dress.
You must treat the kickball court like it's a runway.
And strut your stuff while you play!
As you put all your kickball fashions to the test.
Remember this one last request.
It’s not just vital to look fly when you run the bases.
You gotta be able to have fun at aces!

Update: WOLWSB vs. Balls in Your Face

Hey Boozers! I am just going to start referring to Friday as National Hangover Day because that's basically what it has become (for me anyways). So Happy National Hangover Day!

Yesterday's game was probably my favorite kickball game ever. I don't know why but it was so much fun! It could have been that we played really well and would have totally kicked some ass had we had enough people. It could have been that my cape makes me feel like I'm gracefully flying through the sky (I kind of want to yell, WEEEEE when I run in it). It may be that Nick brought us delicious tropical punch (mad props for that). While I believe it was the latter of those that made me feel all warm and fluffy inside during KB yesterday I do want to let you guys know that everyone played really well and I am so very very proud. Now for the coveted awards...

The lady and overall MVP of the game is....Molly! Clap clap clap! Molly really brought her A game and for that she got to use the brand new WOLWSB beer koozy! Who will be the lucky winner next week?

The gentleman MVP of the game goes to...Nick for obvious reasons. Not only is he a baller on the field, but he kept us hydrated! Capri Sun is so nutritious and delicious and expertly sealed and packaged!

The style award goes to...Danielle. Each week Little D (was that what you told the guy you're name was last night?) finds a new and inventive way to wear and style her cape. Last night was no exception!

The best ref award goes to (and will always go to)...David.

I really liked our glow sticks. They were a big bright hit! I had an extra and some guy from the doodie brown team gave me 5 big ones for it. Cha ching cha ching.

I learned a few things between yesterday and now:

1. I love watching you all try (and succeed) at hookin up

2. Vuvuzellas are fantastic for beer bonging...once it hits your lips it goes down soooo smooth

3. I am a little proud that when I had to fill out a form at my eye doctor today and under hobbies I wrote, "Kickball Win or Lose We Still Booze, baby".

a poem

Below is a poem by our beloved captain Kristy. Her words are beautiful and so meaningful.  Kristy is great at capturing the true meaning of WOLWSB.


Thursday afternoons are a time of worry.


Then the clock strikes 6:15 (or 7, or 7:45) and we run bases in a hurry.

But the kickball score is not our concern

It’s how many pitchers through which we can burn.

Aces and Eights gets our pay checks each week.

And we grind on their dance floor ass cheek to cheek.

$10 a pitcher is a small price to pay.

Because each week we get to Party in the U.S.A.

We drink and chug and love our brews.

Because Win or Lose, We Still Booze!

showing some love to a crazy chicken!

PARTAY!

celebrating our only win!
