StR Pickup Game - Details (UPDATED)

PrintTuesday, August 24, 7:30pm.
Folsom Sports Complex. Directions can be found at www.google.com. Heh. The address is: 66 Clarksville Road, Folsom, CA 95630. (Behind the Home Depot.)
I'm looking for at least 12 people who can commit to showing up with $10 to spare. If that's you, please vote below and leave your RSVP in the comments as well. If I get 12 positive responses, I'll go ahead and reserve a full court for 2 hours for exclusive StR use. And the more people that commit, the less we'll each have to chip in for the court. I'll also be playing at the Folsom Sports Complex on Monday night - if you can't make it on Tuesday but would still like to get your pickup game on, maybe we can get enough of us to take over the courts.
UPDATE: The court has been reserved for our exclusive use! I'm really looking forward to meeting some of my invisible internet friends and playing some ball together. Below is a quick checklist of things to bring (and to not bring):

Count me in
I can be there Monday for “practice” and I’ll be there Tuesday with my $10 ready to hoop.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Because if you are, you should come Monday too
When I’m able to be there.

I'm going when the most amount of people will be there. I thought it might be Tuesday and that's when I'll likely have to go now.

But I can figure out a way to make it out Monday too.
People are just so non-committal I said sure to Tuesday. I don’t care which day though.

I may show up to watch
and say back in the day how much better the hoop was, If I’m able to make it I’ll kick in 10 for the pleasure of watching the best blog basketball in Nor-Cal
There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.
Ok...but I can be bribed

Voted 'yes' a bit earlier...
…but I’ll probably be on life support after one game if we’re playing full court. It’ll be nice to get back inside a gym again, though.
I'm down to bust up some old guys....
As long as you are all over 35 that is LOL. Man, Folsom is a bit of a hike from Yuba City tho….
Man, EVERYTHING is a far hike from Yuba! haha

It’s at 411 Stafford Street? Google maps is turning up two different locations for “Folsom Sports Complex”.
I was wondering about this as well

Sucks that I'm out of town :/
Really would have liked to play with you guys
"It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?"
17 people already?
Might need two courts.

I'll be there...
Or be square.

was out there tonight
It’s a nice gym and a good thing the court is reserved for tomorrow because there was a decent number of regulars who showed up and on court #2 they had some rec league games going on.
Afaik, Kyle was the only other StR member to come out. Hopefully you guys took the opportunity to rest up because me and him are pretty active getting up and down the floor.

Are we going to do 10on10off
or just 3 wins and off?

It's more of a tournament-style thing. The game goes up to 10, whoever loses has to leave the gym immediately.

No, not the chrome ones unfortunately. I’m talking about these:
Mine are a little worse for wear though… I’ve had them since ’03!

Unfortunately I saw this too late.
I hope that this event is a success so that I can join the next time!! I can’t wait for the comedic game recap.

Sick children
Kept me from attending. I’ll be sure to try harder to make the next one.
Mitch Richmond - All-Time leader in shots taken with a toe on the three point line. True Story...You can look it up.
I just saw this,
and am bummed to have missed it! Hopefully this will be a recurring event? If so, count me in for future runs, especially now that I have my new job out near Intel and the facility is on my way home. I’ll be keeping my eye on the threads for the next one….
