I might not have quite gotten past the dry-heaving stage from the night before at Joseph's, but I sure as heck did not feel anywhere near 100% the next morning. I woke up with a throbbing headache and yet another reminder why I don't go out drinking that often.... I still have no idea how you crazy kids can go at hard like this 2-3x a week! Nonetheless, Krax and I were up in the morning and off to join T2 in Hollywood for our introduction to the world of competitive dodgeball. You might remember playing this game as a kid wayyyy back when it was still cool. But let me tell you that as an adult revisiting a game of his youth, it sure as heck didn't seem like anything that I remembered.
The game itself was extremely competitive and incredibly intense. There was this one crazy guy, armed with his signature psychotic jump-off-the-wall-screaming-while-whirling-and-hurling a ball at your head at 100mph move. It was good fun just watching him do his thing until I was smacked back into reality by a ball that ricocheted off the nearest wall. Ouch. These guys (and T2) were unbelievably good at dodgeball and it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that I got my ass kicked all over the place all afternoon hahaha. Being hung over certainly didn't help, but it honestly wouldn't have mattered because they were just that much better. Welcome to the world of competitive dodgeball. Still, it was a good experience and I'm glad we went..... mucho thanks to T2 for showing us the way!
Dodgeball was followed up with a short trip over to Downtown LA to catch Ozomatli in concert. I've lived here all my life and yet before today, I had no idea that such a big outdoor "music festival" took place here in LA. I'm not talking about a little stage setup on the corner of some random street corner somewhere, oh no. Its more like closed off multiple blocks in the middle of downtown and a few thousand people roaming around kind of festival. Totally cool stuff, not to mention its free of charge and it goes on all summer long with a variety of programs. Definitely something worth checking out!
Beautiful weather, good music, great company and yup, even Big Sticks (popsicles) and Dodgeball -- life just doesn't get any better :)
