We’re back from Austin, and more than a little sleep deprived from trying to see a thousand live bands all over town! Of course the highlight of the week was our dual parties on Thursday with online indie music store Insound and Death+Taxes Magazine. SXSW veterans were excited to see Saucony O’s back at the festival, many of whom […]

Despite Bob (see photo) missing because of a motorcycle accident, SB was still able to win this week’s challenge of Steal the Bacon.
However, the most impressive display of athleticism was Benjy’s sprint to the postgame buffet (sorry no photo on file).

Through shear determination, team work, and with the aid of the ultimate Sacony original footwear, Sonicbids defended the pig by edging out Schwartz PR in Whiffle ball.
Jim aka (E5) and Bob (no Nickname) gave exceptional effort in the win. Miss Heidi Lasker clinched the win with an unassisted double play.

The Saucony O’s summer office sports league is in full swing, and we have a game lineup next week that’s gonna knock your socks right out of your Jazz Lo-Pros.
Monday August 3rd & Tuesday August 4th - NYC teams plays Kubb in Central Park.
Tuesday August 4th - Chicago teams play wiffle ball in Humboldt Park and our Boston teams play steal the bacon at Boston Common (pray for no rain this time!)
Wednesday August 5th - Seattle teams play touch football under the Space Needle while our SF teams play field crumpets at Draves Field.
Now what the eff is field crumpets, you ask? Field Crumpets is a game played with two teams of players which try to score points by hitting the “crumpet” (generally one of those squishy playground balls) into the opposing team’s goal using their crumpet sticks (big fat wiffle bats). Field Crumpets is highly related to the games Field Hockey and Soccer, though it references several other sports. The game also includes various unique rules, many of which reflect the founders’ desire to emphasize fun and silliness over competition.
We look forward to the silliness!
