This week we’ve seen a new twist on bowling and a new twist on skeeball. Last night at NightLife at Cal Academy, we learned a new twist on Berlin-style ping pong:
As players get out, they leave their paddle randomly on the table. The number of paddles increases as the game goes on, creating more and more obstacles for the players that remain. We were playing with only about 10 people, which was fun, but imagine the challenge of a 25- or 30-person game!
Perhaps we’ll try it tonight in the Lower Haight at the only American Tripps party in August!
Yesterday on Tumblr I shamed my friend Wesley for flaking on a hang, using this list of recent boys’ nights:
Wesley responded thusly, via an intermediary:
Brunch is not boys’ night, Wesley. (But brunch was fun, you’re right.) (We had that bomb $5 toast!)
A friend who works at Glen Park Elementary, the school, sent in this information. This security camera image is a clue.
