Bike Polo in about an hour.
Man, these crazy busy weekends are murder on my getting events posted on time. Sunday Bike Polo happens at Metz Park in about an hour. There's been a lot of talk about plans for the upcoming BFF bike polo tournament (next weekend), so if you want to get ready for that you should probably show up at the new location and play a few games. They're going to try doing Team vs. Team play rather than the traditional random pickup games in preparation for the tourney, so bring 2 friends with you and come up with a team name. The guys have been building wooden stops to enclose the court, if nothing else swing by and check out all the work they've been putting in.
There's already been a good bit of play out at Metz Park, so check out the photographic evidence of the action from the past few days:

I know I say it all the time but I really want to thank all the photographers who show up to these events and consistently give us great shots of all the insanity that occurs with regularity in the Austin bike community. As a bunch of surly drunks with less than perfect memories, it really helps recall all the great times we've had with increased clarity. Thanks y'all.
The think the city still has public wifi access at Metz.
