FlipFest 2006 - Minneapolis

By adding this blog, I guess I am admitting I attended (and may have participated in - maybe even won by default) last year’s flip cup festival at Williams Pub in Uptown. If you missed it, all I can say is that it was seriously like a scene out of a Ben Stiller movie. Two guys from my CSC broomball team had planned the outing, so I didn’t really expect too big of a crowd. I also thought we might be out-of-place in the bright-green t-shirts Cam made our team (Rick, Casey, Chris, Cameron & me), but we were pretty much in the norm or even underdressed. It was crazy!
There was a team with cut-off-arm jean-vests with drawn-on mustaches and berets, another dressed as scouts, and several teams with t-shirts and sweat bands. To make things worse (or better?), not only is Williams a local watering hole for alumni from both my college and high school (so I run into people all the time), but the basement was packed with a huge number of my former co-workers from Target. Even my old Finance Expert was there. At least there was a lot of team spirit in the air. Even if it was flip cup.
Anyways, I got an Evite with a reminder about this year’s flipcup tournie and it made me think of home and reminisce a bit. I will obviously not be attending, but hope those of you that do have an awesome time and good luck!

PS - if you don’t know what FlipCup is, please don’t bother looking it up. It’s, er,a college thing....
