“Kickball Bar Brawl”, can it get any better?
Remember fourth grade? Girls were still a little icky and you still thought Cap’n Crunch made your breakfast. Your best friend was the guy with the most GI Joes and you cried when your mom threw away your “big wheel”. I remember watching Voltron for hours and if Transformers were on the world stood still. And even if you grow up on Bugs Bunny or were too young to collect “Garbage Pail kids”, when you look back at that time in your life, those memories are special.
Hollywood knows it, they spent $150 million to remake Transformers and GI Joe cost $175. Throw in X-men, Spiderman and every other cartoon and comic book remake and you realize just how much people value those childhood memories.
I tend to relive my childhood after a few cold beers, hangin at the bar with a few friends. As luck would have it I also tend to have (or would like to believe) my best ideas four beers in. And that’s when it hit me; the world would be a better place if I could be a kid ‘and’ still drink beer. Then in a moment of what alcoholics call clarity I realized what was missing in my life……Kickball.
Damn right I wrote it, you read it, kickball. Where else can guys and girls compete on the field of battle? Where can you vent a week’s worth of frustration with one crushing kick to the fences? Name another place where you can cock back and launch a rubber ball at some guy you never met and he’ll smile through the pain. That place my friends is the kickball field and I’m pitching bouncies.
Sure, you say, that’s the kid part but where’s the beer? Well I’d like to introduce you to the first annual “Kickball Bar Brawl”. Coming soon to a park and bar near you. A dream fulfilled, our kickball bonanza is on the books with one week to put the icing on the cake. Beer sponsor check, food sponsor got it, team t-shirts damn near a sure thing. What could possibly make this day any better? Thats my question to you.
