    Just find a place that says visitor parking.

    The place I parked at, you needed a debit/credit card. We played from 11am to i want to say 1:30 pm. And I paid seven freaking bucks. It was well worth it though.

    I had fun. I favor full court, but I am glad we didnt play full court. All I remember is that my feet was on fire all day. It was like playing basketball one level above hell.

    There was good talent there. I was impressed with the talent in fact.

    I remember this one play where I was at the top of the key near the three doing nothing, and OmegaSupreme was guarding Rockets Red Glare, and he swatted that shot all the way back to me. That ball flew to my head, and I was shocked at how far, and quickly it got to me.

    I missed a bunch of layups like usual. I blocked a few shots. I think I was the second smallest guy on the court.

    When I got in my truck, I started sweating alot. That was weird. I had my AC on, and my windows down.

    When I got home, i watched a little tele, and then took a shower.

    What I am happy about the most is that my body isnt tired. My muscles are not sore. I could play again right now.

    yeah you got me a couple of times. :D

    i'm "krispyfied" too... ten shades darker or something. skin on my face is kinda peeling. it was worth me not getting out of the habit of hooping. i hadn't been prior to that in several weeks.

    about the parking. the entrance off of main... well... that entrance road has parking on the side for the dorms, but i parked, looked to see if any stickers or tags were hanging from their rearviews... saw nothing, so i parked there. no ticket when i got back. not sure if you want to do this though.

    I had the fortune of applying sunscreen before leaving my place, but did not think to bring any water. Pretty sure that I would still be out of it if not for the Gatorades and waters provided by Mike. :)

    Hey guys,

    Just want to give you guys a heads up. Been trying to get something scheduled as far as another practice for possibly saturday. Marion Community Center has been a bit tough to contact but the information I'm getting from them is that we can reserve the Indoor Gymnasium for 16/hour for minimum of 4 hours on days they are not open. they aren't open until mid June on weekends so we could possibly get something going for this Saturday. I haven't talked to the activity coordinator directly yet but I will today after 3pm. I wanted to let you guys know and see who can make it this Saturday at 11am. I wanted to get a headcount before I try and reserve the court out for us. Who is a definite that can make it out? Sorry for such late notice.

    Marion Community Center

    11am but at this point I'm not sure if I can reserve it in time. I'll find out tomorrow but I needed a headcount first. If anything let's meet at San Felipe and Yorktown by that covered court. I'm sure there will be some people out there we can pit our team against.

    Unfortunately I can't make it this weekend. Maybe we can schedule it for next weekend. The courts on San Felipe and Yorktown are REALLY packed on Saturday mornings. I don't know if that would be a good idea.
