It’s Showtime!
No, you're not seeing things. He's back.
The crazy weather we’ve had over the last few months may have convinced you otherwise but winter is over folks. You know that the season of ice and snow is no longer upon us when you hear phrases like:
“I’m so out of shape.”
“I haven’t picked up a stick since September.”
“Are you a Captain?”
“Wait a minute, is that Showtime?”
Yep, the annual BTSH version of Rush Week took place yesterday with countless free agents competing for a few coveted roster spots. For some, a lifelong goal will come true as they go to “the Show” and get the chance to get drunk on $2 Hi Lifes, complain about Peaches unwillingness to wear clothing, and wonder why everyone is talking about the good old days and their Johnsons. You’re living the dream kids, living the dream.
For the rest of us, it’s usually more of an “Ohmigod” moment as we realize we need new sneakers, probably should have gone easy on the lemon squares over the winter (I’m looking at you, Arthur Revechkis) and dodge our Captains because we haven’t paid our league fees yet. This week, things kick in to high gear so make sure you’re registered, sign up for the BTSH e-mail and look forward to the following events:
Friday early evening – ritual humiliation of new Anklebiters players
Friday – 8:00 pm – Season Opening party at the Parkside Lounge
Sunday – 12 pm – first regular season games
Sunday – 1:02 pm first regular season beers drank at the ACE
Monday – 7 am – first post-BTSH hangover of the year
Make sure you take advantage of all the exciting events on offer during Opening Week and remember it’s all about having fun.
