This saturday marks the 9th annual Pin Dodge tournament. It's kind of a big deal. Pin Dodge began over 9 years ago, one summer home from college. A bunch of friends and I were at our buddies house who happened to have a sport court in his back yard. We went out and acted like kids (so, really, like normal) for quite some time, and eventually someone mentioned the old pin elimination game we all used to play in elementary school. So we went out and bought a ton of kick balls, and I hit up a bowling alley for a box of old beat up bowling pins, and the rest as they say, is history.
Pin Dodge is pretty special for a lot of us. Not only is it a great excuse to act like a bunch of 6 year olds, all day long, throwing rubber dodge balls at each other, but it also provides a great reunion of friends year after year. As we grow into our more responsible adult lives, many of us have moved elsewhere, started families, and taken new jobs. But Pin Dodge always brings everyone back. I'm looking forward to all the shenanigans that I know will take place this year, and hoping to bring home my 5th championship trophy! I will of course update everyone after the weekend on how things go, hopefully there wont be any injuries and the weather plays nicely! Here's a pic of the whole crew at the end of last years tournament. Enjoy!
