Rotter Bowl II Proclaimed


It is hereby proclaimed that Rotter Bowl II will take place this coming Saturday, February 28, according to the following schedule:

- Pregame victory celebration at 2:30pm (bloody marys are a preferred beverage choice but complete freedom is encouraged) at Aly and Beth's house, 617 Kirby St.
- Pre-victory procession to field at 3:55pm
- "Game" at 4pm, on upper "fields" at Dorothea Dix 
- Postgame victory celebration and awards ceremony at Aly and Beth's at 6:20pm
- Post post-game victory recovery brunch lunch, noon, Sunday, Jon Zubi's house, Boundary St., potluck, probably more bloody marys.

What you need to know:

Rotter Bowl has been played for twos and twos of years.  

It differs from a typical Sunday game in that:
- It is played on a Saturday
- It is an excellent opportunity to use Roman numerals and celebrate Freedom
- Real size goals, field, etc.
- We keep score, as best we can
- Pre- and post-game celebrations
- Awards and prizes for all participants
- Some participants wear wigs, dress like Germans, or sport semi-formal attire
- Models take pictures of us (I don't understand either)

***Bring a white and a dark shirt.  Orange and yellow are not dark.  Gray is not white.  Feel free to ignore this.

It is rumored that this is Comrade JP's last game with us for a while, given his impending move to somewhere called "Portland," which is not in Wake County.  He and Sally apparently like places with either not enough rain or way too much.

Hope to see you there.
