2nd Annual Kickball KickThomas's

The Defending Champions of Davis ("The Telluride of the East") wrapped up another slow year of anonymous and cowardly slop-talk about creaming the Champions (wait a minute, Mackie is on Team Joe (Davis))....alas, talk is still cheap, while the Hypno-roids that boosted morale and jaw cpm (chats per minute) are still only affordable to those who choose not to spend each paycheck on booze and (un)organic tobacco. While the moonshiners and doctors residing in healthy yet "soulless" Davis were planning their strategy, team uniform (see pictures), and taunting effectiveness, those unfortunate unsoberables did one thing right and showed up at the correct venue, home-field Davis. I saw that one of them even rode a bike, likely thinking that he would not get caught drinking and driving...hope he made it home.

Hellbender Rob shows us the "team look," while Tonesy thought he had some chest hair to show off, forgetting that it all got burned up by the cigar...MattDoc is likely eyeing Cory's fruit jam in a camo koozie....

While back-catching life-saver MattDoc ponders better ways to make his mouth bulge from a cigar, over-educated and un'erappreciated, local chef Chip "Whackburn" B. forgot that kickers don't really need to wear cups, but he decided to kick with a hand-made version. I guess his Mommy never taught him that its OK to open up and let the light shine in once in a while...it'll kill the mold, too.

Chippy's Joe Spirit(s), choc-fulla local berries, provided Team Joe with much needed hydration, as well as complete oral degermification.

My jam went well recieved until it was mysteriously disappeared by a Miss Nicole, who, through very intense interrogation and daring detective work, begrudgingly returned it to its rightful creator/owner. Thanks sweet thang!

To all who wished to kick balls and have fun at the same time, you will have to wait until next year. Or you can meet up at the DTEMS Soccer Field at 5ish on Wednesday, August 12, for some kicking and real goals*.

*not the ones that get you somewhere in life, but real goals.

Breaking News!!! "Most of the Universe misses first organic live Rock show at Hypnocoffee!"

My job on the transitive passenger-heavy, sarcasm saturated, frijole-grinding Hypno Vessel has reached a new level....I thought Tony Dubya was joking about setting up the drum kit right in the shi(o)p. Well, it took over the IKEA (or was it Sams Club?) low-riding black spinner chairs turf and added an audible edge to the greater Downtown Davis area...next stop, 1805 Geary Boulevard, SF, CA. Get your tickets NOW @ 304-259-5009! Ask for Butch...

Tuvan throat singing meets

appalachian organic jam,

creates ancient love vibe.

Anybody able to witness the amazing blend of local talent and very non-local Tuvan Throat Talent knew in their minds and souls that this was a quite memorable moment for all the moments that the Fiddle provides, perhaps a first in many respects! Purp Fid does it again! Thanks Thomasonians! I only got about eight (8) seconds of footage here b/c I couldn't sit still and, mainly, didn't have much space left on the memory since them burlesque chicks from the last post captured my fancy....go figure.

Other cool stuff: Ultimate Frisbee tonight at DTEMS Field, 5pm. This Thrusday, August 6, 2nd annual Kick-the-living-shitake-outta-Thomas kickball championship. Come play or watch....or drink. Cracker will be at the Mt. State Brewing Co. this Saturday, August 8....outta be a good show! Some volunteers may be needed to help set-up and tear down...free cover if you help! Let me know via comments or stop by the pub or Hypno or my apt. or meet at the Craximus Maximus at midnight on Friday.
