I've been in New York for a week now, working at a customer site during the day, and poking around New York at night. Work is going well. I'm working right on Wall St. It's quite neat, we take the subway from Grand Central station to Wall St. everyday, and walk past the NYSE with police outside wearing helmets carrying (semi-?)automatic weapons. For those of you in New York who are reading this that may not sound neat, but it is to a bumpkin like me from Tdot.

I met up with Dan the other night for drinks and dinner. He showed me around a little, which was nice of him.

Today I found some pick-up ultimate in central park. This was a bit of an experience. They play a little differently here than standard 10th edition rules. Like there is no stall count, or sidelines, or back of the endzone. And you can foot block. Oh, and they don't sub, we played savage for 3 hours.

The field we played on was kind of slanted and small, but the place they usually play is closed right now. So they set up to markers for the front of the endzone and then as long as you catch the disc, anywhere, you are in. The only rule is that you have to throw the disc through the markers to score a point.

The people were quite inexperienced, most of them couldn't flick, but they ran hard. Not having any subs was kind of hard. I ran too hard for the first 5 or 6 points, but then had to stop running so hard. All in all I had a good time. One of the guys I was playing with tried to convince me to join a team in the Westchester Ultimate Club. He said it wouldn't be a big deal if I wasn't around too much this summer. I'm considering it...
