Thursday tennis

I think if everyone used this, this is a excellent tool to let everyone know where everyone is without having to call everyone which is whats happening. It just takes a couple of moments to look and leave a comment. Of course it will only work if we all participate. I understand that not every one can, or even like the idea, but its a central point for gathering and sharing, and its more than talk. A group of us have been playing 50th st. upper courts including Swanki, Lou M, P Stang Deanomite, myself, Mario, Norm and others. Courts are rough but its a central location and we are not so above to play in these courts. Joseph, and several others, have been up in 160th at Shoreline.

I looked over the destruction of our old courts and witnessed the carnage myself.. looks like souvenir blocks of courts are available for the taking. (borrow Rich's Truck) Sad but exciting. Will have pics tomorrow.

I have for awhile had the domain name LWTO.org and am considering putting up a dedicated web site for us. This site will be for the preservation, and love of the game for players around the Seattle area. If anyone has comments or ideas and/or would like to help, let me know, I'm open to anything.


So about 3:00pm Thursday, I'll be at the Upper courts cya there!

Everything you said about this site is right on the mark. Many players don't know about the site; unless they have the exact URL, finding it isn't easy. Unfortunately, you we're not able to pass out cards to everyone, because the gov't started the demolition before they were supposed to.
Some of the players don't like to bother with computers, so they may just view the site. Posting to it requires additional time and some knowledge, so many may not want to do it.

I passed out a few cards to some Lincoln Park regulars, maybe they might surprise me and post something? I doubt they will venture off to these other courts and the high gas prices aren't helping. I think this is easier to use than myspace.
Thanks Ken. Dave
