Let's Dance To Joy Division

By now most will have heard that frisbee tonight is cancelled because of rain so come along to Archive (100 Boundary Street, West End) for some company with frisbee friends. Friends and family are welcome too!

If interested in dinner (Monday special is $10 burgers) come along at around 7pm or any time after for liquid training and/or the darts competition.

P.S. This counts as training so people wanting to play Mixed Nationals NEED to come.

P.P.S. That last part is a lie.

The last couple of Mondays have seen me rise from my bed to greet a cloudy day full of threats of a downpour. But it seems that today is different, today is the day the threats became reality. Keen Frisbee blog readers (trolls?) will have seen that the rain has lead to the closure of UQ and recently Annerley as well, with Griffith expected to follow shortly.

What does it mean for us? If you would indulge me for a second I will pull out, dust off and consult the Heroes Ultimate Club Guide to Life. It seems that and I quote "in times of trouble, when the outlook is dark, when the prospect of a regular league match has been torn asunder, the only option available to followers is simple. It is to visit a local drinking establishment."

This is where the HUC guide to Life finishes. Leaving the specifics up to any who would dare to don the esteemed mantle of HUC Party Officer. And as it happens, that would be me. Upon examination of previous material such the 5 P's, the 'other' 5 P's and when frisbee doesn't win; I would like to follow the tradition and invite everyone to Archive Beer Boutique from about 7pm onwards and it is located at 100 Boundary St, West End (the good pub below Uber).

This is a chance to get to know your fellow team and club members without the pressure and distraction of having to chase plastic. A chance to talk to that cute girl or boy from your team. A chance to wet your whistle on some good quality drinks or food if you desire ($10 gourmet burgers).

Liquid Training

BUML is rained out tonight so come down to Archive (http://www.archivebeerboutique.com.au/ 100 Boundary St, West End) for some liquid training. They used to run a darts comp on Monday nights, as well as $10 burgers - not sure if they still do but food is relatively well priced anyway. Arrive from 7pm. Bring friends/partners/potential recruits/whatever...

Pool tables and smack talk.

While we're not playing disc - get your smack out

With the 'rain' about and the lack of Monday and Thursday night league the comments are open to all weather related SMACK talk. Feel free to trash it, get it out of your system or forever hold your precipitation. Some of the SFC boys might like to chime in

And the Lord said "Let there be sun for three days straight" and there was Frisbee.

What a terrible last month this has been for Frisbee in South East Queensland. Following Queensland's wettest September on record October has continued the trend of raining out events and causing general depression throughout the population.

First we go back to September 21 where Heroes and Discheads were originally meant to have their showdown for second place which started the tradition of beers and burgers at Archive. Then we experienced rain just about every weekend, making it near impossible to get out on the bike or have a throw. Then we have the cancellation of the South Bank to Southport 100km bike ride which was immediately followed by the second cancellation of Heroes vs DiscHeads, which led to the second episode of beers and burgers at Archive. This night even saw the likes of JdR, and he liked it so much he even mentioned Carl on BUB the next day.

This lack of play caused Heroes to have a down right shocker against Slamtown Flatball Club on Thursday night and the slippery weather contributed to a controversial incident involving an SFC player, a Heroes player, a grand stand and a visible shin bone.

And then there was sunshine (and a shit load of wind), and the sunshine persisted. For it is written that tonight is the night that Heroes take the win over Discheads once and for all. Believe it? Or do you have to be there to see it. I know I will be. Get your tips in for an all-time BUML first on the BUB site.

EDIT: Discheads have a bye tonight. Don't I look like a fool?

On a side note Heroes had our first ever AGM on Saturday - I'm sure more details will be released in another blog post.

Don't forget your 5 P's

What's your 5 P's you ask??

Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance

Personally I prefer the 6 P's option, but you'll have to ask me that one in person (Please do...)

This is an applicable motto for all things in life, usually tagged onto active activities, such as training, playing sport, studying etc. But THE MOST APPLICABLE is of coarse DRINKING, and where the 6th P comes in very handy, ask me that one later... (plz do). 
Also you'll need to get your practice in before the AGM on Saturday night,
So in that vein of thinking, and with the rain pestering us off the Frisbee fields around Brisbane Heroes and friends (ie everyone else) are going to Archive again!!! Meet there at or before 7 for burgers and beers!
Yes the place is not as cheap and nasty as the bowls club, but hey neither are the beers... (and wines if you so prefer)
