Hipster Hash Run Tomorrow

Cougs,

if you're off tomorrow and are looking for some fun and adventure, Jacks and I are planning a Hipster Hash Run through downtown Manhattan and Williamsburg (natch). If we were really hip, we'd be doing it as a fixed gear bicycle race in Bushwick, but we can only dream.

Starting location is the Stumptown Coffee in the uber-hip Ace Hotel on 29th between Broadway and 5th Avenue, a location so decidedly un-hip, that oh yes, it's hip. Fuel up on single origin espresso while admiring the antique-y decor and chatting up the bespoke fedora sporting baristas. From there we'll wind our way through the East side of downtown (you know, the hip areas), and across the Williamsburg bridge, with a final stretch leading to McCarren Park, finishing up with lunch at one of the many hip and tasty eateries in the area.

If you're up for the run, bring some cash, your metrocard, and an appetite. The run as planned is about 5.5 miles, with stops along the way for refueling. We plan on meeting at 9am, and will probably end up at McCarren Park around 11:30 or noon.

Any Williamsburgers want to meet up at McCarren Park for some pick-up soccer after the run?

Feel free to join at any point, invite friends, etc.

Meeting Location: Stumptown Coffee, 20 West 29th Street, in the Ace Hotel between Broadway and 5th Ave
Time: 9am
Duration: 2.5-3 hours
Destination: Williamsburg
Distance: 5.5 miles
Phone: (917) 686-5059

Enjoy your holiday tomorrow, whatever you may have planned!

Fall Season Done - Winter Indoor?

Cougs,

tough loss yesterday, but another fun season. If anyone wants to get an off season Coug going in the next week or two, send it on to the group!

Following Scott's suggestion, we looked into a couple of indoor leagues yesterday at Loreley. It looks like Zog or NY Co-ed may offer the best options:

1. Zogsports - Weekend Indoor League - http://www.zogsports.org/ActivityTaxonomyDetails.aspx?id=597206

Early/regular registration will open TODAY and close November 18th/December 4th or earlier if the league sells out. $125/Cougar with 12 on the roster. The league runs on Saturday afternoons from 12-6 and Sunday afternoons/evenings from 12-10PM. Most games are on Sunday.  The division you choose does not determine when you will play.

• 7 regular season games and 1 scrimmage
• 5 on 5, 3 men (maximum) and 2 women (no maximum) on the court at all times
• In a gym, no goalie, with small goals. Side walls are live, back walls above 10 foot line are out
• Two 23-minute running halves

Pre-season scrimmages on January 9th/10th with some possibly on the 16th/17th.  

All games will be played In Manhattan at: High School for Environmental Studies (56th between 9th and 10th), Julia Richman (68th and 2nd), Edward Reynolds West Side High School (102nd Street between Amsterdam and Columbus), JHS 22 (Houston Street and Columbia Street), Xavier High School (16th between 5th and 6th), LaGuardia High School (Amsterdam between 64th and 65th).

• Players Division - Think you're a jock? This division will be competitive, but still fun.
• Sorta Players - Pretty good athletes, maybe played together before, but still social and laid back.
• Casual Division - Played before? Not a bad athlete? This is the happy middle ground.
• Extremely Casual Division - this is the pure fun division. It's for you if you're looking more for the social than the competition or consider yourself a beginner at the organized game.

2. NY Coed Soccer - Indoor League Options - http://www.nycoedsoccer.com/IndoorLeagues.html

• $1600/team
• 5 v 5 with goalie

Here are the leagues that look most promising.

BROOKLYN MONDAYS: Cobble Hill starts January 11th
All games will be played 8-11pm in Cobble Hill location, steps from F-train. Details to follow shortly

BROOKLYN TUESDAYS: Williamsburg starts January 12th
All games will be played 8-11pm at Automotive High School. Details to follow shortly.

BROOKLYN SUNDAYS: Williamsburg starts January 10th
All games will be played Noon onwards at Automotive High School. Details to follow shortly.

MANHATTAN SUNDAYS: starts January 10th
All games are played Noon-6pm at Baruch College. Details to follow shortly.

Please send on your thoughts for the best night. If you know of any other good leagues, send word!

Jerseys & CougarBucks

Cougs,

the jerseys are getting printed... though not in time for this weekend... so let's get a win so we can wear them before the season's completely over!

Depending on how much you've paid over the past 2 seasons, or just for the shirt alone, I need to collect CougarBucks from many of you.

If you're name is on the list, you will be getting a shirt:
Women - Abby, Laura, Annie, Erica, Katie, Jessi
Men - Nick, Alex, Jake, Evan, Sage, Dermott, Graham, Jacks, Rich, Scott, Trevor, Isidro, Damian, Dan

1. If you played the past 2 seasons, and paid in full I need $10.
2. If you played Summer season ONLY and paid in full I need $5
3. If you played Fall season ONLY and paid in full I need $35
4. If you paid for a shirt ONLY, you owe $0
5. If you haven't paid yet this season, I please send in your CougarBucks.

If you're not in the city, I will mail you the shirt. If you can't make it to the game, let me know how to get it to you.

Please contact me if you have questions about what you owe. Bring cash/checks this Sunday. I need to pay the balance on the shirts, which comes to about $350.

Let's get a win on Sunday!

Cougs,

another tough one this past weekend against the Vipers Adult team. We need a full squad on Sunday for the final game of the regular season! Playoffs start next week - depending on how we go, we could have either 2 or 4 more weeks of soccer.

Game Time 3:20pm vs. Inter United
Who's Cougin?

If you're planning on watching the marathon on Sunday before the game, look out for Annie on the course! Naomi and I will be cheering on 4th Ave and 6th Street in Brooklyn near mile 7. Good luck Annie!
