Dribble

Today the pain.

Yesterday the inaugral Wgtn Art and Hangers-On 5-a-side soccer tournament in Island Bay; yes, that's right, some of the most uncoordinated artists, gallery staff, technicians, administrators, writers, tutors, Masters of Fine Arts, poets, curators, mothers, fathers, hippies, and anarchists in the local arts community convened yesterday afternoon to ostensibly kick a ball around for a few hours.

David has photos. That's me, appearing to expertly dribble the ball around and through two hippies, and generally making them look (more) foolish (than me).

Despite being beaten in both matches, and finishing near the bottom of the table after the first round, our team - Lorrie's Lunatics - won several medals.

• Best banshee-howls in-place-of competent-tackling AND best smoking-on-the-pitch - David.
• Most crafty player - Dan (and Nadine) for their matching small tight undie-shorts. I'll leave it up to you to imagine whose undie-shorts left less to the imagination.
• Best (worst) injury. Me. For this.

And the colloquial award for most fun team to watch, to us!

Yeah. Like I said, today the pain!

UPDATE

Here's a cool picture of me taking a corner kick, for some reason apparently with the bottom of my shoe.
