Big Weekend for NYC Volleyball

Well, I thought I should write as much as I can about what is going on now before the weekend gets here.

This weekend is the Big Apple NAGVA Tournament. NAGVA stands for North American Gay Volleyball Association. It is part of the roster of a city tournaments that lead up to the end of season Nationals Tournament which, just as in any other sport, is held in a different city every year. This year it will be Dallas over Memorial Day weekend.

Depending on what my sweetie is doing I will either go with a team or I will "forgo Nationals" in the dramatic way of Bring It On. Yeah, I would be Courtney.

So, yeah, anyway we have had practice this week, a friendship tournament (warm-up)on this past Sunday and also two more tonight, Wednesday, and another tomorrow. Registration is on Friday and then we play all day Saturday and then Sunday is elimination day. It can either be really fun or really annoying, but you know you will be wiped out afterwards, that is assured.

My team is NYC Toxic. Yeah, lets not comment on the team names. They vary from serious to downright GAY, but then again it is a gay tournament and that is one of the best parts. Seeing friends from far and somewhat near. It also brings about a whole other level of play. People you play with weekly "bring it" for these tournaments. None of that just for fun stuff.

So I will of course let you know how my team does, even post a team picture if I can get one.

That is the conclusion on the prep for the tournament now stop reading this and get outside while it is still sunny.

Just had to be noted.

So if you were in NYC for the last 2 days you may have seen the news about the Eastside madam who was arrested Monday or Tuesday. Funny thing is they arrested her at her apartment which happens to be across the street from me.(#2 in picture above). Now if you remember from a few weeks ago Governor Spitzer resigned his office and that is also just caddy corner to my building over on 3rd avenue.(#1 in picture above). There is word that this Madam had the black book that had the former Gov. and many others in it. She says she doesn't. I guess we will find out. Funny to to me though that in the picture above he basically could have walked over with a nice appointment after he resigned just a half a block away. PS: Was in a hurry to post so don't yell at me for the crude numbers on the pictures. Haha.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah......

We were standing at that sign for a few minutes trying to figure out how to say it and then why someone would make the obvious mistake and not fix it eventually. This shot was on the way to my friend Everett's bday party out in Astoria. It was a train ride and a bit of a walk and no friends showed up, I would have killed them but we had a good time anyway. I went out with my friend Steve and we met up with Jorge and his hubby Steve. I wrote about the event a bit ago. These are the Hell Gate Social pics.
