Beer Pong Evolution

You are cordially invited to attend CHBPL Beer Pong at Live

This is a call to attention to help us bring the game of Beer Pong out the basements and attics of college neighborhoods and into the view of the general public. More specifically, I'm asking for your help in making our foray into CHBPL Beer Pong at Live on North Avenue successful. Let me start with some details -

Where? Live Bar and Grill (2028 E North Ave, located next to BBC)

When? Every Wednesday night from 8:00 pm - bar close

Who? for the last few weeks, Lorge, Balkman, Denise, myself (Iceman), and a few current and former league members (Brodey, Amanda, Katie, Jenny Reck) and bar randoms

What? Beer Pong, playing on Bpong tables with a Bpong/CHBPL rule blend

Why? I shouldn't have to point this out, but judging from the lack of participation, I have to. Plain and simple - you love beer pong and you should be interested in taking the sport to the next level. Let's face it - aside from our league, beer pong in our city is embarrassingly weak (and we're the drunkest city in America, for crying out loud!) Take a second and go onto the forums at Bpong.com and scope out the posts from players on the East Coast (like Maryland and New York/New Jersey) and the West Coast (particularly Southern California.) Aside from Michigan, the Midwest doesn't have a lot of representation. We're (CHBPL founders) are doing everything we can to increase the beer pong exposure, but we need your help. We already know that you love beer pong - that's pretty evident when you show up to play on Friday nights instead of getting hammered drunk somewhere else. The skill level in this league is at an all-time high, although the participation (1 league night, plus no one shows up at Live) seems to be dwindling.

That's why we need you, the next generation of beer pongers to help us create a festive and competitive beer pong atmosphere at the bar. I don't care if if you don't like North Ave bars or enjoy paying bar prices, but we need you to come out and support our league's endeavor. I know there are some of you who are under 21, and unfortunately you can not come out and join us. I don't care if you have a fake ID - don't jeopardize our bar league by trying to be sneaky. You will get caught. We appreciate the support, but please, wait until you're grown up. As for you people who are old enough (and I'm pointing several fingers at the people who occupy the beer pong house, and the randoms who don't live there but never go to their own homes) - shame on you. It's just like when you said "We'll all go out to the World Series of Beer Pong when we turn 21!" I went, didn't see you there. Funny. You must have been wearing a disguise... But I digress, and I'll save that for another post later in the year when I round up the troops for the 4th WSoBP.

I'm going to ask you to come on out to Live on North Ave on Wednesdays to play beer pong. For it to be a success, we need people to be there and play. Randoms at the bar have started playing, and we've gotten people to come in off of the streets, but we really need more people from the CHBPL to come out every week and represent our league. I guess I can understand if you can't make it because of school or work, but here's a parting thought to entice you - I've devoted nearly 6 years of my life to this game, and beer pong has made me the man I am today.

Long story short (at work, downtime + boredom = Iceman types too much) you better be there sometime in the next few weeks or I will be sad. We've come too far to quit now when we are on the verge of beer pong greatness. But we can only do so much, and we need your help. If you truly care about the advancement of our sport, you'll come out and support our cause.

Come to Live on North Ave on Wednesday nights, and shoot nothing but foam with the Iceman.

Jeopardy / Wheel of Fortune Before and After Noon

I think that I'm going to start making the titles of my blog entries resemble the popular Wheel of Fortune / Jeopardy category Before and After. The purpose of this is to display headlines that grab people's attention and sucker them in to reading my blog entry. It's just another cheap marketing ploy that I'll be employing to generate higher numbers for this site. Once I get tired of it (and trust me, I already have) I'll look for new gimmicks to draw attention to this shit. Maybe I can get some of those ridiculous flash animations, or pictures of dogs and cats cuddling together like the ones that my Mom always sends me. Maybe that will draw more people here. I just saw my stats (I do keep a counter on this blog) and they're el terrible. I mean, the freakin' cable access channel has higher ratings than me. Have you ever seen the garbage that people put up on there? I have, and it's not pretty. I guess I'm to blame for driving their ratings up then. Shame on me. Looks like I'll just have to visit my blog from multiple ip addresses on a daily basis to keep the ratings war going between myself and public access. The heat is on Time Warner Milwaukee Public Access Channel 14! How do you like the way that shit works?!?

Join with me and fight the good fight against Public Access Channel 14 and check out Pookon's Ill Blog (and our brother site Pookon's Ill Stuff) as often as humanly (and technologically) possible. If you don't, then the terrorists have won and you are being anti-American. Try living with that burden on your shoulders. I dare you to look Lady Liberty and 6 pound, 8 ounce baby Jesus right in the eyes and tell them that you don't love America. If you are an American and do your civic duty by racking up the hits on my sites, then you also love spaghetti and meatballs. And if you don't love spaghetti and meatballs, just get the hell out of here. The time has come to band together and unite in the fight against Public Access Channel 14. I'm not gonna do what everyone thinks I'm gonna do and... FLIP OUT... all I wanna know is one thing... who's coming with me? C’mon! Who's coming with me and this fish? Who's coming with me?!?!?!?!
