Dear Jess,
I play kickball in the DC Star league. I love meeting new people and getting drunk, however some members of my team prefer to chill out, sip beer, and talk about books and politics. How can I get my team members to play flip cup with me without forcing them? I'm tired of being part of the "frankenstein" team consisting of players from opposing groups who's teams have abandoned them...
conflicted at Kelly's, Washington, DC

My suggestion: free jams to those who play.

You sound like a well-rounded individual. If some of your team members just want to chill, that should be their perogative... at least they are out at the bar enjoying everyone's company (as well as basking in their recent victory) in that atmosphere. The best you can do is just keep up meeting great new people, have fun and cook up a lovely hangover to start your Monday off right. Maybe members of your team will see what a lovely time you are having and decide to join in on the flip cup action in the very near future. Or just maybe, this "frankenstein" team will start receiving a nod in the flip cup rankings.... after all, even though you have been abandoned, you are people too. Warm Regards, Jess in Annapolis

Dear Denise,
I have a fashion emergency. Before heading to Kelly's every Sunday I change from my field gear (cleats) to drinking shoes (Jcrew flip flops). On more than one occasion, my flip flops have proven to be a death trap. There was the time when I realized halfway to the Metro that Shelby stole my phone at the Dubliner, causing me to run back to the bar to retrieve it from him, scaling the wrong way up the down escalator gashing my bare toe on the escalator and bleeding profusely the whole way home. Then the following week, after much drinking and flip cup spillage, I was unable to remain grounded to the floor of the Times. I had a few near complete wipe-outs as I slipped and slid on the veritable bannana peels the Jcrew flip flops become on a wet surface. Denise, I need your help as a friend, Fashion Icon and shoe enthusiast.
What footwear can take me from the field to the bar in style?

Dear Shoeless: I don't know how many times I've been approached by boys and girls alike on this subject. I knew a guy *we'll call him Big Crack to protect his identity* who had the same problem as you. He tired everything...even super-gluing his cleat soles to his flip flops. It didn't work...he only ended getting stuck in the grass and twisting his ankle. In trying times like these...I turn to Jesus www.shoesofthefisherman.com/these shoes offer comfort for your soul and your feet...and the stylish JESUS logo is actually made of non-skid Teflon, which means no more messy jessy slip-ups! you're sure to stay afloat when you find yourself on a sea of beer..just like Jesus!

I lost a sandal last week, a certain captain if kick this who will remain nameless stepped on it and broke it to the point that I could no longer wear it at the Dubliner. Of course the people at our table decided to start breaking glassware on the floor at about the same point which worked out well with my being barefoot....luckily I had sneakers in my bag.

Way to call yourself out, that could have been any captain of Kick This.
I'm not telling you my shoe size and you are not buying me new sandals. If I could find the broken piece I'd try to fix it...I think I left it on the table of the Dubliner though.
