Hamilton's is rockin' its third anniversary party this Friday night (specials actually start at 11:00 AM). It should be a really swell time and a great chance to do some recruiting for the Spring Season. Details after the jump, but first download some West Pot business card templates and print 'em off (on any Avery 8-up business card paper) so that you can keep a stack in your wallet.
Here are the event details from Hamilton's Facebook page:Three years ago we decided it would be a good idea to open a bar and in honor of that poor decision making we throw a bash every year. If you've been before you know these are not to be missed and if you haven't here is the deal...
The Specials:
$1 PBR's
$3 drafts and bottles (all of the them)
$3 Call drinks (not the cheap stuff and not the top shelf)
These run all day and night and on top of that we have all of our distributors come in to give away free booze and prizes.
We've also got our boy Sharkey coming thru to drop some classics so there will definitely be some rump shakin...
If those aren't enough reasons for you to get off your couch and get blackout drunk then you must be a communist, because what we are really celebrating here is the American dream but I digress...

West Pot + Crossfit
Start following this website, CrossFit Football. Today's picture should look familiar. We will also be incorporating more of these workouts into training.

Final Game of 2009
Gentlemen,
We have our final matrix match this coming Saturday at 1 pm vs Chambersburg. We have been lax the past couple of weeks, but we still need a win and a bonus point, so this weekend should not be taken lightly. Spread the word so we get a good turnout of fans. We are playing at our home pitch, Accokeek park (google maps link below). Be at the pitch by 11:45 to be sure you are kitted up by noon. We will set up a carpool from the Dunkin Donuts at 8th and Pennsylvania SE (Eastern Market Metro) - be there at 10:45 with wheels up at 11.
As per usual, let me know if you are in for the match and also if you plan on coming to the carpool.

I Need a New Kit Bag
My kit bag is seven years old and has served me faithfully & well. There are a lot of memories in that bag; I've taken it to Europe to play in the Amsterdam 7's and too many road trips to count, but it's on its last legs. My bag has no strap, almost all the zippers are busted, and to say it smells like ass is an insult to stinking asses everywhere. So I need a new kit bag and since the last time we did a team run of kit bags was seven years ago, I suspect that other guys may need one too.
I'm volunteering to take the lead on getting new kit bags, but I'm soliciting input from the team. Here's what I'm looking at right now:
Since we have so much fresh gear from Canterbury, I thought we might keep heading in that same direction by getting a bag like this, but obviously we would have to get this customized with our crest and colors.
We could also go traditional and get the regular canvas roll kit bag.
I also like this bag 'cause it has a place for your wet boots and comes with a "free" ball.
We probably need about a dozen guys to commit to make it worth my time to mess around with this, so holla at your boy to indicate your interest and leave comments/suggestions. Once we've reached something resembling a consensus I'll post a follow up message with a drop dead date to place your order.
With You,
KJ
Old Boys Match - DETAILS
Gents,
I received the brackets and logistical information today for Sunday's Old Boys Tournament. However, I have only heard for a handful of Old Boys - we need you all to show!
Details for our match are below (entire bracket is here)- subsequent matches that day are based on the outcome of that first match.
Alexandria Roosters Cup, Old Boys Tournament
Location: GW Middle School - Corner of Braddock Road and Mt. Vernon Street.
Map: http://www.acps.k12.va.us/maps/gwms.php
Match Duration: 40 Minute Matches (Two 20 minute halves)
Field 1, Kick Off 12:30: West Potomac vs. Roosters
After Party: O'Connell's, 112 King Street Alexandria (www.danieloconnells.com)
No alcohol at the field, please!
So ,after the Young Boys crush Pax River on Saturday, we will carry that momentum onto the Pitch Sunday against the French ex-pat side...and anyone else we face.
Call me if you have any questions
I'll see you all on the pitch Sunday - arrive early enough to get your boots on - looks like they're keeping an uncharacteristically tight timeline for matches.

Old Boys Match - Pay Attention
Please see the below message from Andy Vonada:
The Poltroons, Western Suburbs, and the Roosters (a new club of French ex-pats) on Sunday, 8 NOV at either Gravelly Point or George Washington Middle School (Alexandria) and anticipated start time is 1:00 pm. This is the first step in a renewed effort to schedule additional matches for our Old Boys (other than our annual run against the Young Boys), and update the roster. Additionally, there are other touring and tournament opportunities we’re not currently taking advantage of. Therefore, I need all Old Boys to do the following:
- Update or add your contact information on the Old Boys Roster found on the club website. [editor's note: If you don't have access to the roster, leave a comment here with some way for me to get in touch with you and I'll get you set up. -KJ]
- Send me an email (alvonada [at] hotmail [dot] com) or call me (you can get the number via the roster) to confirm your ability to play on the 8th.
- Show up on the 8th! While I will gladly take on the French 15 by myself, I would like to share that opportunity with my mates. This is also a golden opportunity to re-establish our rightful position among the area’s Old Boys clubs.
I’ll see you all on the pitch and expect to hear from you soon.
Andy Vonada
