Some things to keep in mind

Okay, I for one am so excited about the Spring BOG. I'm going to start posting things to remember for the BOG, and will update here as the schedule progresses. A couple general reminders:

Awards: If you won one last time, don't forget to bring it back for the games! We decided at the last BOG that these awards would be used over and over again. Maybe we can come up with some kind of system of signing your name and date on the award before it gets passed on (sort of like a ghetto plaque) or something... Anyway, Ashley will probably put up an update of the potential awards to win as time gets closer and events get solidified (unless she wants them to be a surprise...either option I support)!

Drinks: Everyone bring your own. Chris and I will provide a bucket again for everyone (unless people want to change to something else, but I will veto any suggestion involving blending or continuous mixing to forewarn you). This worked very well last time, no money exchange was involved, everyone were generous, and everyone was happy because they all had what they wanted. So this is how we'll continue!

Pillows: We are hoping for an even bigger turnout this round than last, so I am going to throw out the suggestion that everyone should bring their own pillow. I think we will have enough blankets/sheets and spaces to sleep (beds and couches hopefully!) but again, as things firm up, I'll update you on what to bring.

I love everyone's enthusiasm, keep it up!! :)

Banana Pass

I would also like to submit the Banana Pass Relay as an option for events.

Ladder Golf/Rope Ball

I'm taking the liberty of posting the first game suggestion as described by Dave. Check out the rules, etc. here and see what you think!

Let the Games Commence!

Greetings Olympians!

Welcome back for the second round of Basement Olympic Games. The Basment Olympics Committee extends its warmest regards and hopes that your off-season training will serve you well in the upcoming events.

As you'll see from our esteemed president's initial email, we are looking at two potential dates for the next games: March 21st or March 28. Please select your preferred date in the poll to the right. Feel free to leave comments as well.

As soon as I can figure this out, I will give everyone permission to post on the blog, so we can all share our thoughts on planning the next BOG. That's all for now; let the games commence :)
