CHICAGO - Whirlyball FT Do
As we were entering the first stages of meat coma at Fogo de Chao the other day, MrFurious and I discussed the possiblility, no scratch that, THE NEED to have a Whirlyball Do.
I would like to suggest Saturday November 6.

As I thought about this some more this evening, it became obvious to me that this needs to be a match against the FTers from another city/region. So who do we want to pick on?

This looks fun, but I'm already travelling on the date you selected.

Sweet Willie,
I saw your question on a different thread about when is the best time to go to Venice and not get crowded out by tourists.
Actually, it is at the very moment you will be having your Whirlyball FT Do.
We will be in the middle of our big Venice Meet on that day (actually, most people will be arriving on the 18th or 19th and leaving around the 23rd or 24th.)
If the Chicago Do doesn't work out, you are very welcome to join us. In fact, I can see where playing Whirlyball from gondolas on the Grand Canal could start a whole new international craze!

Only thing you need to know up front is that MrFurious is going down!
