Fools Fest

Quick Fools recap:

Took us a while to shake the rust off on Friday, and ended up 1-2. We took control in

the beer tent. Most of us ended up at Pancho Villa
for some mediocre Mexican, and then rocked the Haagen
Dazs back at the Days Inn. Apparently the Friday
night party sucked. Some people, myself not included,
were partying at the hotel until the po-po showed up
and started ID'ing.

Saturday:

Saturday was much better. We had a full squad. We
pulled out a win in a tight first game. Our second
game was the best against Duke alums; we were down 2-3
points for most of the game and then came back to win
it 13-12. Highlights include Tucker laying out in her
jeans, Iana pulling down the score for the tie at
12-12, and Jen Kurz playing against her doppelganger.
Our last game was a cakewalk and had some fun zone
points. Day ended with Tucker covered in whipped
cream for her birthday.

As usual the party was great, but we woke up to the
sad news of games cancelled on Sunday. We then spent
10 hours at Perkins waiting for breakfast and drove
home.

Thanks again TT for organizing!!!
