Two Busted Balls for Tom's Birthday

Monday night was probably the coldest one we've had since last winter, yet somehow 10 Dandies showed up to polo. I attribute that to the fact that it was the birthday of our dear friend and long time poloist, Tom.

Unfortunately, the gaming didn't last too long, because it was so cold that both of the "warm weather" balls we had turned into a stone-like hardness and were quickly shattered by Kevin.

Kevin ruined Tom's birthday and Tom was really sad, as depicted by the photo above.

Time to buy some "cold weather" balls.

Poloing will resume once new balls are obtained.

Dandy Polo Returns

After what seemed like a long hiatus, the Barb City Dandies finally reunited for some classic DKLBP-style polo. Lately it's been a struggle to get 6 people (the required number for 3-on-3 games) out to play, due to scheduling conflicts and schoolwork (Drop out of college. Play polo). This Wednesday we had 9 people show up and played some intense games. It was a refreshing sight and hopefully a sign of more consistent meetings from now on.

By the way, if you haven't sampled the beers from Chicago's Revolution Brewing, I'd suggest you do soon. Their Anti-Hero IPA is fantastic and available in cans.

Derek showed up with his beautiful new Singular Peregrine. Obviously not a polo bike, but it's fantastic and I'd like to get some better photos of it in the daylight soon. The perfect gravel riding/offroading/touring/winter commuting machine.
