Ultimate Frisbee

My brother says that I need to post on more topics, like ultimate frisbee. While his point is that he’d like to see a wider range of coverage, I’m not sure that’s what this is about. Since I’m not an ultimate frisbee afficionado, I don’t KNOW about ultimate frisbee in Austin. I’d happily play, but [...]

Sports Wednesday + Kanye!

Tonight is Kanye West’s Glow in The Dark Tour with Rhianna concert at the Erwin Center, and if I weren’t so committed to playing sand volleyball, I’d go. Ok, ok, if I had bought the $70 tickets right when they came out, I’d go, but since that’s not the case, I will be playing sand [...]

What to do on Wednesday

Wednesday this week is offering a doubleheader of athletic options. There’s always SoCo Run Club, the awesome run club I won’t stop talking about, but now there’s a new competitor: Wednesday pickup volleyball at Zilker.
So, there’s a friend of mine who started the meetup.com volleyball group (you can access it through atxvb.com too … he’s [...]
