Yep, croquet without mallets, or wickets or any structure that I can tell. And yes, your front yard would work just fine I believe! I'd have to leave that final call to the Bocce experts though.

I'm wondering if my grass is too thick....maybe the 'playing course' should be more like golf course grass?

But crochet now......maybe we need a crazy game of crochet at Chez Diva! I'm thinkin' that would be fun!

Speaking of GAME NIGHT, Pup.....................

I just got this in my email:

"QueerBomb is a flash Force assembly of LGBTQIA individuals within the community who have found the current strategy and structure of Austin Pride to be non-inclusive, capitalist, heteronormative, safe and unchallenging.

QueerBomb has been assembled with boisterous urgency in organizing a counter 'Pride' procession that carries a strong Queer message to the streets of Downtown Austin reclaiming the radical, carnal and transgressive lineage of our ever changing community, while celebrating every facet and form of our people as a unique and vibrant whole."

Hi Diva - we'll be there around 7pm tonight. Looking forward to meeting you and Ash and anyone else who can make it.

Sassybren · 06-04-2010, 07:19 AM

I am hoping to make it this evening. I have a 6pm meeting in Austin. I'll be there if I get finished in time.

Puplove · 06-04-2010, 02:25 PM

I want to see you go all Matt Dillon

The Oiley Beauhunk and I are planning to be there. But if not showing up means you will bust out Matt Dillon, we'd opt for that.

Really bummed I can't make it since this is something I've been wanting to do for a while.
