I can't believe this has turned into the Spanish Inquisition...

You never expect the Spanish Inquisition.

And for the record, it was only like $8...

I've got 10/24 on the calendar. I'm IN, until something better comes along.

Same.

In on 10/24 until something humiliating comes along.

Perhaps you should tell the Park District that we all post on the same message board with "The Best There Was, The Best There Is, and The Best There Ever Will Be" known as "Elmhurst Steve."


Imagine the discount...

Well, for some of us, our quality of play (or lack thereof) is likely the most humiliating thing that will happen to us on that day

You know Disney Live is at the Rosemont Theatre that weekend.

This isn't going to stop any time soon.

You're lucky ... my calendar skips from the 23rd to the 25th ... damn cheap import calendars.

I might seriously purchase my Elmhurst Steve t-shirt for the event.

Even W_Z defers and passes the ball to Elmhurst Steve when inside half court.

Good God, no.

As I have mentioned before, I'm very much a recluse IRL, and I have all the athletic prowess of a lighthouse. Besides, whatever cariacatures you may have created in each of your minds of me are, for the most part, likely more interesting than the real deal.

That's extremely hard to believe

Do we have general preferences on location? Proximity to public transportation? Proximity to highways?

I am hoping it can be held within 90 minutes of my humble abode in
the great white north. Took me just about an hour to get to Hoops I
so I am hoping that wherever is agreed upon will fall within that 90
minute window. If not, I may still try to make it anyway.

Close to a highway would be good. Doesn't really matter how far to me...

I'll throw in a vote for the Hoops IV place.

I would suggest that we find a place where we can get a good amount of time in without having to share with anyone else.

Any of the courts Dr. Ken has on his property would do just fine. The carpeted one with the rock n jock 25 footer would be ideal. But any of his courts will do.

You must be the pool guy Dr. Ken was telling me about that keeps sneaking on to his courts.

I've played on carpeted basketball courts. It isn't fun. Spongy but too rug-burny.

WHen you hit a certain age, you are more likely to fall when you run. Luckily, I haven't hit that age.

Agreed, diving for the ball is my only saving grace - and I clearly understand that that habit is no saving grace...

it's a good gym when the AC's on...

When I was at NIU (back in the dark ages) all of the courts at the Rec Center were carpeted. Spent way too many hours there - they were hard as heck and way too burny. That being said:

Carpeted surface>"Sport-Court" surface. Too "Cheese Gratery".
