If you've been reading lately, you're well aware that I played in the World Series of Beer Pong in Mesquite, Nevada from January 2-6. We got a lot of media attention out there, with the most prolifflic one coming from playboy.com. The Milwaukee gang turned heads, and brought attention to ourselves at all times. I'm going to provide some link to some of the articles written about the World Series of Beer Pong, just so you have an idea of how huge this thing was. I can't promise that these links will always be valid, I don't know how long they'll keep the articles active on their websites. Check out these sites at your own risk, and as always, viewer discretion is advised...
playboy.com - the best article written, possibly ever. There's nudity on the site, but it's worth going to to read the article, even if you have morals. The article speaks at length about myself, as well as my friends and our beer pong league. It also has some sweet pictures of us and a video of Casey Reily playing some beer pong with Cara Zavaleta, Miss November 2004. If you read one article in your life, I suggest that you read this one. It's freakin' sweet.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal - The Las Vegas newspaper; they wrote an article about the World Series. It doesn't speak of Milwaukee or mention any of us, but there is a great picture of Matthew "Brodey" Callies and Michael "Dave" Balkman playing some beer pong. A few of us (including me) can be seen behind them trying to psych out the oposing team.
Daily Nexus - The student newspaper from the University of Santa Babera. The article was written by a member of the newspaper who attended and participated in the WSoBP. It has a nice picture on "Fresno" Chris and a couple of nice words from Matt Salmon. It's worth a read because it has a good viewpoint from a participant instead of a spectator.
World Series of Beer Pong - the official site for the WSoBP. They don't really have any good pictures up yet (although there are some nice videos of Brodey and Balkman) and the articles barely go into any depth on the events. Hopefully they'll add some more stuff to it in the coming weeks. Check it often to see if they announce any upcoming beer pong events, as well as a decision on next year's WSoBP.
WSoBP Retrospective from one of our New York buddies - Our friends Tom and Matt were in our divison and played alongside us nearly every game during the first 2 days. Their team was called the Lumberjacks, and they hail from Albany, New York. We never played against them, which was a good thing because they were so nice I would've hated to hand them a defeat. Tom wrote a daily entry of his unique perspective of the tournament, which I thought was cool because it differs from what I personally witnessed.
CHBPL - our league website. You can check out profiles of the people who went to the WSoBP. There's also information about everything that we do when it comes ot beer pong.
That's about all I can find right now. If I find any other links, I'll be sure to put them up here someday. Enjoy reading, and come on over to the Chateau Murray if you want to try out beer pong for yourself. Have a great day!!
