Downtown Bar Brawl (Feb 28th)

[Myro34]

I for one is very happy the fields are shorter this year!  With all the running i did last year i couldn't walk the next day!  I am glad you guys have Kyle playing again this year so i have someone to pick on if he plays the corner again!

Kyle was a very under used weapon last year and we will get some significant playing time this year. As long as he shows up before 3pm! Who am I kidding.... he just looks good in a jersey and his cool shades.

LOL hes a rockstar he can wear whatever he wants and be cooler than the other side of the pillow!  good luck this weekend Lee!

Thanks. I'm just ready to have a little fun away from the bar for a few hours. I think the downtown area is becoming quite the group of friends. See ya Sunday.

Finally the big weekend is here... Monster Trucks and The 2010 Bar Brawl. There are 7 teams participating this year representing 9 venues. The Ivy, Mark's and Dive (one team), Maverick's, Burrito Gallery and Dos Gatos (one team), European St., Square One, and The Pearl are all ready to show off their skills. Dustin from "LIT" has assured me that he will make a celebrity appearance at some point in the afternoon even though they are not playing this year.

The tournament will begin at Noon and the final game should be around 5:30p. Tell all of your friends to come out and enjoy the sun and fun downtown for a change. There will be a DJ playing music and North Florida Sales sampling out several beers. We will be playing on the Jaguars practice fields in particularly the turf field.

After the tournament or 6p (which ever comes first), The Ivy will host the official after party where the new champions will be honored. There will also be individual awards given out this year for several categories. The drink specials will be $2 Bud Light Drafts, $5 Jack Daniels Drinks, and complimentary pizza from North Star Sub Station for all guests. The party will go as long as the crowd so be ready to party. No cover or dress code as the players will most likely still be in uniform.

Come out and talk a little smack just remember this is all in fun!

Looks like a great time! Need cheerleaders?

I am sure each team will have a few. But The Ivy would love to have you come show a little support.

Congratulations to the Ivy on winning the Bar Brawl for the second time in two years. They are still the champs! Hats off to Lee & his team. They deserve it.

Also want to thank Gina and her team at North Florida Sales for hosting the event again. It was a well planned and well run event.

Finally, Thanks to all the teams and their supporters for participating in this uniquely Downtown event.

Regards, Mark

Thanks to all of the teams who came out for a fun day in the nice weather. Gina, Rob, and Scott did an amazing job setting up the event and also providing Jason's Deli for lunch. All of the teams played very well and seemed to have a lot of fun.

Also, congrats to Steven from Mark's for being voted MVP of the day by all of the team's captions. The after party was really unique. I think that is the first time most of the downtown bar tenders and staff have all been in the same place at once. It was awesome to have a few cocktails with everyone.

FYI - Mark is an excellent photographer. You all should have seen his set up. Can't wait for the pictures.
