New Look

It was a new look Chewbocce that took the court last night for our showdown with Brownberry Tigers. Chewbocce has added four (!) new members to its swelling ranks, with Joe, Alex, Nick and Janene all making their season debuts. Paul, Jo and Todd were also on hand (along with Dan, who didn't play but did seem to have fun hanging out with the kids), with Stacy and Phyllis unable to partake in the fun this week. Much like week 1 Chewbocce jumped to an early lead in the first game, only to see a late surge from Brownberry overtake us. The next two games unravelled similarly (except we got beat ever more soundly as they went on). Brownberry Tigers are a no-nonsense, old school bocce team and we certainly got old schooled! They were quite adept at bank shots and knew how to put some nice spin on the balls as well. The real key to their success was racking up 3-4 points on the rounds they did win, whereas we usually scored 1-2 on our winning rounds. That aside it was a perfect night for bocce and there wasn't anywhere else any of us would have rather been. Nick and young Henry Bernhardt did also engage in some public art creation(very appropriate ahead of Art-A-Whirl this weekend), as they each drew spaceships with which to battle. No clear winner was established but my money is on Henry B (sorry Nick). There was also some brief discussion of a possible practice session as well, but no firm plans have been established as of yet. Also Paul was kind enough to set us up a Facebook group. Check it out if you are on Facebook (and if you're not - WTF? get on that shizz). Also, be aware that plans are also being made for us to screen our own t-shirts in the not too distant future. That should be loads of fun.
