I know you want to play with the jagwolves, but you're gonna have to try to survive with the rest... and if you play us, pray for the best.

Hey yo machine. Noticed you said your back was fecked..
My father is a chiropractor/ has a portable chiromapracting torture table.
He'd be willing to help a polo brotha out.
Come to the Vegas Tourney.

Poop.
Hey are you bringing a team with you to Vegas? Or is it just you and the orange and blue showing?
Got a new guy who just moved to town from Minnesota and he's a solid slayer. I had a dream the three of us won.
Lemme know if you're interested!
I'm going to Vegas. Trying to work up a team, but some of our Florida slayers are heading to All-Florida, so we'll see.
Can't wait though. And I could definitely tell you were having a good time with the commentary.
As I was watching over the days I noticed a couple things:
Watching a polo game with no announcer and a bad camera angle with less light than needed to really show the ball well, is like driving with one of your contacts popped out..
Watching the polo game with inadvertent commentary by bystanders, or Max saying 'Woah that was crazy!' in lieu of description of action is more like being in the mosh pit but not seeing the band
But watching with a snappy, timely and dulcet play-by-play stream making sense of the madness and focusing the mind's lens where it was once a murky view... well that was excellent.
Hey I caught your commentary this time!! Your lilt is faster than I remember in Santa Fe. You've got a gift, I'm sure you've heard your whole life.
My favorite interlude was your touching rendition of Loch Lomond, which I turned up loud.
Thanks for being there, man. Really enjoyed it.
You coming to Las Vegas in November?
Thanks again Duncan, I actually haven't done any of this til this year. It started off with me just hecklin . Commentating is a whole new ball game for me . I did for 2 days at the Chicago Bench Minor just for the people who couldn't make it. Didn't do it in Calgary but was asked to do it on the last day of the worlds so i thought i'd do it for the poloverse . Don't know if you could hear it in my voice but I was loving every minute. Gonna try for Vegas . Ya goin
"So this is how it ends"MACHINE
Thans for plugging the heck outta our Hell's Belles tournament!!
All of London were glued to the stream and appreciated the commentary.
Come to Hell's Belles with Jinx and Maverick!
T-OR-NADOES!

Hey Machine, great to meet you in Calgary. I'm in Oakland now but have a sprained ankle so won't be able to polo this trip. Next summer, I hope!
Hope you had a good trip home.
Best,
Chris

thanks Machine! thanks for keeping the bike polo world at home updated and entertained. i'm sorry you had to interview julian after it all. It was probably far less entertaining than ours would've been. ;)
Ah, machine! I was wondering if I'd ever hear from you again. The scar healed up just fine. And don't worry about cheering against me. I would cheer for Jackie/Kayle/Cecily too :) See you soon!
it was so fun to play polo with you in victoria, you're a killer teammate, awesome alcohol drinker, and definitely machine polo-tics was all about you haha. I played my best polo that weekend and was bummed we didn't go further but it's ok I'll keep getting better and see you in Sacramento, NAs, Worlds, E.van crown...

You are slated to stay with Anthony, 1337 Vining St 778-440-3892.
Are you arriving on the clipper from seattle? or the Black Ball?
If so, when you exit the terminal, just turn left on belleville street and you will see the event location. Hang out and have fun, you will find us/ we will find you.
My cell # is 250-686-2775 feel free to call or text me when you get in and well meet up. The sprints will be going on from 6-9 (you can even race if you want!) and then we'll be bulding boards and playing pick up.
See you soon!

If you're planning to fly into victoria, consider the cost of it vs flying to seattle and taking the ferry.

Gotta fight against evil, gotta set an example for the young people.
Gotta keep it showing, gotta take Jah light and keep it glowing.
Gotta keep on going, gotta keep seeking, gotta keep knowing.
Gotta keep on sowing, gotta reap fruit as the wind is blowing.
Gotta keep my peace of mind, gotta seek then I shall find.
Gotta let my spirit shine, gotta fight for what is mine.
Gotta keep myself in line, gotta look out for the signs.
Gotta do it all the time, gotta give thanks then I will be fine.
Gotta keep spreading my word, gotta make my voice be heard.
Gotta be free as a bird, gotta get what I deserve.
Gotta walk with blessed love, gotta reach those heights above.
Gotta hear some Reggae dub, gotta give thanks to the I in love.
Gotta give my heart, gotta give my soul, gotta give my life, gotta give my best.
Gotta meditate, gotta concentrate, gotta elevate, gotta pass the test.
Gotta use my brain, gotta, gotta, go through nuff pain.
Gotta do it all the same , gotta give praises to his name.
So, we're good to go! pete is down, his lady friend is going to be our equipment handler (aka beer handler).
Machine! We would be honored to give your ladyfriends muscle ointment as prizes!!! You gonna bring it with you it you wanna mail it off now and be done with it? Let me know and include any and all promotional literature on her company too. Here's the address!
