okay-- a preliminary search turned up a surprisingly affordable flight from seattle to pittsburgh for $300 round-trip; leaving on may 27th and returning on may 29th. that would allow us to see game 3 on the 28th-- assuming we could get tickets of course. the rub being that it's the middle of the week.
i could probably make that work. game 4 is on the 31st but airfare is considerably more expensive.
>> Availability for fence tinkering: Wed-Fri night (in the dark), or Saturday before hockey. Call me to set up: 323-9344. Left same for Vin.
saturday would be the earliest b/c i need to procure more material-- fencing, strap-ties, etc. i'll let you know by friday if i'm ready to try on saturday. if so i figure a 12PM start isn't unrealistic as i'm sure there will be bugs to work out.
Wow! I skimmed it and found it really encouraging. I'll look at it a little closer when I have more time. Great find! If we (SSH) end up getting serious about starting something or having a having a hand in something like this, count me in to help out. I know that if we do, some of us will have to start committing to things, and that usually means setting goals and deadlines. Although I balk sometimes at that type of structure (especially when I'm trying to have fun), it's necessary to get anything done. Very encouraging. Thanks.
I've been thinking a lot about hockey boards, and since there may be issue with storing and transporting 2x8 pieces of plywood, I've been reexamining the use of the barrier fencing we currently have. I have some ideas, stealing from the way volleyball nets are strung up, but I have some questions for you. 1) Where did you get that stuff? How much $? I found it at Grainger's for 100-ft/$76. Online there are some deals too. 2) The more simple I make it, the less able I am to make it adapt to different sizes and/or location of our playing area. Do we pretty much plan on playing at that school near St. Johns on a regular basis?
I'm trying to make this simple, cheap, an effective, but at the same time I want it to be adaptable to where and how we are able to tiedown to whatever is around us. Make sense?
Another big question - and the more information/specifics you have for me the better. I'm going to be calling Rat City Rollergirls and the administrative offices at Magnuson Park, with the hope I learn how a group/team can secure a permanent space in one of the hangars or on the property of the park. If we have a more permanant space to play at, then the more we could invest into setting up boards, and that leads to showing the city council/potential sponsors/whomever that we're pretty serious about playing, having a team that respresents Seattle, and starting perhaps even a small league in the city. That being said, before I talk to Magnuson (which, is this location out of the question?), I want to know about how this group was started, by who, and when. Although it may be a very non-chalant no-brainer as to how it all started, the more details/names/locations/dates I can share with these people, the better chance I have with impressing upon them the seriousness and organization of our group: in other words, I'll be able to better sell Seattle Street Hockey to Magnuson if it sounds like I know what I'm talking about. So, if you can, please give me some poop about how SSH started. Names, locations, and dates, and numbers of members would be helpful!

thoughts?
Phew! Thanks for getting rid of the "we even taught an irish man how to play". Technically, there are two options:
1) Irish man
2) irishman
Thankfully I don't have to swallow that anymore! Go Irish!
