Anyone interested in a little batting practice on Sunday?

Howdy, weather permitting... Steve and I are going to enter the fresh Roswell/Alpharetta air and get a little batting/fielding/throwing practice.

Any local folks want to join. Mostly softball but maybe a few baseballs lobbed in there.

Monday morning's also an option, since it's a holiday. I guess that'll be determined by if anyone's interested and which day's easier.

You guys should try curling instead.

Oh God. Did you eat all this acid?

Notice Nick didn't call this the Atlanta Culture forum.

I knew I wouldn't be able to win regardless. I knew everyone BUT the Atlanta people would respond. Well, FUCK YA!

I'm going to put screening stuff, coffee stuff, and all that here so as not to disrupt the other forums, which are already inundated with threads that could fit elsewhere.

There I was thinking that maybe... just maybe, the responses to a thread like this would be ACTUAL INTERESTED PARTIES.

The more I think about this the more I agree with the people who bash these boards.

Well, people with MUCHO posts like Will, Django, HAM, you, and more aren't based here...

It's just that CHUD's built a nice Atlanta following and I hate sticking ATL stuff elsewhere.

It's my goal to have a section for a variety of cities once I launch the upgraded boards (with separate sports and music and video games sections) for people to post regional stuff.

That said, I fully expected comments to accompany this thread.

Also, I'm going to create a forum to discuss individual films like recent threads devoted to Sneakers, Buckaroo Banzai, and Bob Roberts and Bowfinger.

The CHUD Sewer is diluted enough.

If it helps, I'll post here just to make you more comfortable...

Ideally it'll be like the meeting place, a place for the typical debates about box office and random shit and about films that just came and and stuff.

I just feel that if someone starts a thread with something to the effect of "Octopussy's Bitchin'" or whatever, it bumps down threads that should be near the top.

I think we need a different place to discuss older movies.

That would be cool.

Course so would a "over 3000" club...

I'd like to be the first ATL person (besides Nick) to post here...I would love to do BP on Sunday, but I'd have to do it early...we're heading downtown for the evening at like 4:30 Sunday afternoon.

And I actually can do it Monday morning as well, since I'm taking Monday off.

Buddy, if you want to pitch, you'll get no argument from me. In fact, there's an outstanding court order that prohibits me from even walking across the pitching mound, I'm that good at it.

I can pitch as well, if/when his arm gets tired. I also play catcher, and 1st base. Just no outfield. I have a problem with the judgement of fly balls (they're so small you know--ha ha ha).

Good decision here, Nick. This will allow me to possibly attend a future CHUD gathering with a little more notice. I think we should have a CHUD convention in the summer sometime. Whaddya think?

It's been pouring here all day, so I'll assume no BP on Sunday. Let me know if Monday will still work.

Alright, the weather is clearing up nice.

I don't know if we should do the park over here (NEWTOWN PARK), North Park (Cogburn Rd.) or another.

I think the earlier we start the better.

What says you?

I've got a doctor's appt. at 9:00 on Old Milton, but should be done by 9:30. I know where North Park is, but don't know where Newton Park is. I need time to grab something to eat, then I'll be there. Tell me place and time.

Dunno. Newtown is never locked, I believe and is right at the end of Haynes Bridge Rd across from the fire dept. On the Old Alabama side.

North Park MAY be locked but I doubt it.

Either way, either one at 11:00am.

It's at the intersection of Haynes Bridge and Old Alabama. Take Holcomb Bridge RD. towards the Harvest Moon but take a left onto Old Alabama RD. shortly after you cross 400.

The road will end at a light (gas station on your right). Take a left. This is still technically Old Alabama Rd. Once you pass the shopping center with the Hollywood Video on the right, the park is on your right.

I know it's wetter than Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio before Ed Harris' CPR, but I don't mind getting muddy if you guys don't. Steve's alreafy here and if you guys don'y mind soiling the ol' clothes we'll still give it a college try.

Sorry I had to bail early. Had fun though. Maybe I'll be able to hit a little better next time.

Couldn't have been any worse than if I had tried. I haven't tried to hit a baseball in like 20 years.

there'll be more as our 1st baseman and potentially more will be there too. I bought one new softball today for fun.

Maybe me and possibly the Suitt crew. I'm heading to a friend's house at 12:00 to watch the AFC Champ. game, so I'll be there for about and hour and a half. At Newtown Park again, I'm assuming?
