Do You Believe?

In the spirit of the holidays, and the last week of dodgeball, we were sent this drunken gem for you to enjoy. Sounds like some people had some liquid courage to be able to hit those soaring notes. Here are some things we won't stop believing in: Tuesday hangovers, gays will be able to marry one day, Symmes will play without his shirt, you can find love on Fire Island, Lady Gaga concert tickets will appear in our mailbox, and Santa Claus. What won't YOU stop believing in? xoxo

Balls to the StoneWall

We don't even know where to begin about the shit show that was the end of the season party for BAD! on Monday night at Stonewall. There was dancing, there was hula hooping, there was making out, there were awards, there were shirtless boys, there was beer pong, there were rubber balls pelting people in the face, and there was a whole lotta drinking. BAD! celebrated the end of the season as only they knew how to by drinking the place dry!

The night started out innocently enough. Mixing and mingling for the happy hour special, noshing on some catered food, and flirting up a storm. Poppi and Niki served as the hostesses with the mostesses by MC'ing the Trophies (#1st for Gym Bar, #1st for Eastern Bloc for winning tournament), MVP's, and the "fun awards".

You wonder what the "fun" entails? Some of our favorites included the biggest flirts going to Scotty and Ruby, best hidden talent going to Mikey for his amazing, um, skill, best six pack going to Ken, most likely to have team orgy going to WOOF!, and our personal favorite most likely to end up on gossipgays going to one of our favorite newbies Carrie 2.0. Although our favorite line from Poppi was her commenting on Esther's new haircut. We knew you were the funniest person in BAD!

We know those dodgeballers like to throw balls at each other when they are the Tony Dapolito Center, but god, can't you stop throwing them at each other when you are at the after parties? We narrowly avoided our death from all the little red stress balls that were being torpedoed at our faces after the awards (great idea Niki!). While we know everyone in the league has more than a little stress and aggression, perhaps next season we can think of a less dangerous way to take care of this?

We know the night might get a little hazy from this point on for some of the dodgeballers, but we saw Mikey and Mr. Wind, Carrie 2.0 and Danny, Carrie 2.0 and Scotty, Vat and Craig the ref getting quite friendly. We saw Ruby dirty dancing her pretty little heart out with various boys and girls. We gasped at the shirtless hotness that was Leven, Mr. Wind, and Cutrone. Although nothing in the night could quite top the "Thriller" dance performed by Shane, Vat, and a mystery cutie. We are still shaking the glitter our of our hair.

We have give the drag queen downstairs some credit where credit was due. She got the league's resident straight boy Kelly to take off his shirt for a shot. Every time we go to Stonewall, she harasses all of the boys, and usually she gets one to crack under pressure. We are happy she saved the best for last. We saw Gilbride and Erika in deep discussions downstairs either having a heart to heart or plotting away (we believe in the latter), and it was about that time the party started to move on to the after after party at Eastern Bloc.

A good chunk of the dodgeball crew headed from the west to the east and got their karaoke on. It was rip-roaring good time of a night. We saw a lot of familiar faces, hula hooped with the best of them, and eventually called out sick on Tuesday as anticipated. We have to say we might shed a tear next Monday when we have no one to play flip cup with, but alas fall is right around the corner. But let's be honest, our livers would break up with us if we continued to abuse it the way we have this spring, and god knows we need them for next season. xoxo

It's Ladies Night!

Just when we thought those pesky boys of dodgeball were the true rock stars, the ladies of the league had a super secret Girls Night Out, and boy was it. The lovely ladies started the night out Ostia where lots of sangria was consumed, tapas were passed, and they even learned a little spanish from the waitress. Things were tame, this is until they got to Pieces.

It was only at Pieces where the ladies let loose their inner rock stars (see all that Rock Band you been playing at home paid off!). Karaoke was the name of the game, and everyone had their signature song ready to go.

Two veterans showing you how it's done.

This is when we think Niki really realized she LOVES sangria.

Poppi laying down the law the way it was meant to be laid: by her!

Nobody ever took that stage solo, there were back up dancers, back up singers, hell there were even girl groupies, just like the rock stars have.

Some of our favorite renditions of the night included V showing Whitney crack IS wack with her take on "How Will I Know", Niki killing it on "Faith", and Anne (who maybe needs her own show in Vegas) showing up Cher with "If I Could Turn Back Time".

Like with any super secret party, you always have the party crashers, not that anyone minded. It was when the boys showed up did everything really start to get blurry. We are still convinced there were several staredown's when the ladies started to couple up and wonder off. We tried to find Poppi and realized she started a peace circle outside!

We did learn that Russell could rap to Lil' Kim, and he was totally gangsta. Who would have known such a sweet looking guy could get down with the queen bee?! Eventually the ladies needed a break from performing and headed to the Cubbyhole for the after-party. We knew something was up when the ladies pulled up in a car with 9 of them squeezed in! You heard us right, they piled 9 of them in one car! Girls it's only 3 blocks away, the rain really wasn't too bad.

At Cubbyhole, $2 dollar margaritas were inbibed and the jukebox was taken over. We saw some of the ladies defend their male counterparts against cocky patrons in the corner (You Go V!) while others jammed out to Guns and Roses.

Moral of the story, if the ladies go out, you better hope you are invited or find a way to crash the party.
