Frisbee on the Common, 5/15/2008

Getting underway for the 2008 season has proven difficult, not leastwise because of mistakes on my part. Last week traffic increased my commute by a half-hour, and I didn't have a backup plan in place to help get the Meetup going. However, there were a few of us who showed up and tossed the disc, which was a good deal of fun.

Toward the end of last weeks meeting several other groups of people arrived at the Common and began playing frisbee. I spoke with several of the people, and they all expressed an interest in a weekly get-together. I will make a concerted effort to continue to spread the word, but in the short-term I think that word of mouth could be a great way to get more people involved.

Based on their comments and my own late arrival, I am posting the next two meetups to start later in the evening. Right now it is light enough to legitimately play until 8 pm, so a 6:45 start should offer sufficient play time while giving more flexibility for evening commuters. Flyers have been drafted, and I'll begin placing them around town this week. I'll also cross-post the event on the Salem Board Game meetup, New in Town meetup, and on Craigslist.
