You need to let Adam work some magic on those boys, then.

kickball in the snow!! ^-- best idea ever. We should do a Water Wars...similar to what DC 101 is doing now. Everyone who participates gets a water gun, and an assigned target (someone else also participating from DC Star). You have to hunt down your target and squirt them. BUT...you are being hunted at the same time...only you don't know by whom. Like a giant cirlce of kickball assassins. The deadliest kind. If this were during the kickball season, I'd say to modify rules so that you can't shoot any targets on Sundays between noon and midnight, etc...but rules can easily be adapted.

Kickball in the snow, isn't really that good of an idea, although some of us always end up doing it just cause we're insane about it! =) but when you roll the ball it just snowballs (pun intended)

for insurance reasons - they would NOT let us play broomball at the rink -
they are trying to set up broomball tournies, and will let me know when they do - but for now - they haven't gotten it cleared yet.
so - as of right now - no - we are not playing broomball -
sorry guys!!

Let me check out what they say at Wells Ice Rink in College Park. That's where I play hockey on Monday nights and I have played broomball there in the past. Also, it's a block from the College Park metro so all you VA people could come up easily.

I guess no one would be interested in just skating, huh?
I'm so ready to go down to the scuplture gardens and teeter around on skates when it gets colder!

I guess no one would be interested in just skating, huh? I'd be up for that, too! I love ice skating... even more, I like watching my friends fall on their butts! But I'd rather skate at Pete's rink or the new one in Ballston. While it's fun to be outside on the Mall, they don't keep it up and it's way crowded with tourists...

Those two rinks are the only two I know of that are metro accessible. I am sure that the Ballston one is much much much nicer then Wells but Wells has free parking and is metro accessible.
Anyway, I found out that Wells will rent by the hour and we can do whatever we want. It's $230 per hour so if you get enough people then it could be really cheap. Easy math is we get 46 people and it's $10 each for 2 hours. we could play broomball the whole time or broomball for half and skate for half or whatever. Both could be fun.
If we just want to go to a general skating session then I listed some of them below along with pricing.
$5 admission $2 skate rental
Adult night on Thursday 8 to 10
Friday from 7 to 9
Saturday 1:30 to 3:30 or 8 to 10
If we want to rent time then I will take care of it since I get a discount for being a PG county resident. It would be $276/ hour without the discount.
