*found and found
-from dave tuques:
I found two sweatshirts at Moffo after I closed it up about 3 or 4 weeks ago – one is black and the other is red, both have hoods. if they’re yours, write david_ladanyi at yahoo dot com
-from christian unis:
found at corlear’s, yesterday. a newish yet stinky pair of Easton hockey gloves. write cgs1 at dec10 dot net
*kudos/gasface
gasface:
-btsh vs ballers
in the moments after beaning a basketball player in the back with a hockey ball, mayhaps one should say “are you ok? in favor of “give us back our ball!” (not that i know this for a fact, but it is an educated guess based on dealing with you people for 7 years). thankfully moffo has a fence and btsh refs go above and beyond the call, thus keeping lbs and the sunday b ballers from killing each other.
kudos:
-keepin it clean
every week, the only kudos i get are about clean games. this is good, i guess– and big upps, rainbows and mso– but can’t somebody barf on the sidelines, or eat a whole pizza, or accidentally poop themselves on the court? c’mon. gimme something to work with.

-from patrick filthy:
This Wednesday, June 7th I will be performing at Bobby Tisdale & Eugene Mirman’s much-loved comedy show, Invite Them Up, at Rififi. There are three reason’s why you should consider going:
1) I will be performing a tap-dancing comedy act with my friend Holly Schlessinger. We have been threatening to do a tap routine together, on stage, for years. This Wednesday we’re doing it.
2) After the show, a new episode of the Video Power Hour, a 1/2 hour video shorts show put together by Matt Hall and myself will air. This new episode features videos from:
Martin Cjeka
Patrick Borelli
Jakob Lodwick
Francine Spiegel
Interpol
Matt Hall
Eric Brown
Stephanie Mnookin
Eliot Laurence
Tarvis Watson
Takeshi Murata
Andrew Sloat
Jon Benjamin
Bill Buckendorf
3) It’s my birthday. Matt Hall is bringing a large amount of pot that we can all smoke off of Jon Benjamin’s lower back (not his ass).

-from ed pfr. c’mon! preregister already!
On Saturday June 10th, there will be a street hockey tournament with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
So here are the particulars:
Who:Â Anyone over 18 who can play a clean, non-contact game of street hockey for a great cause.
What:Â Street hockey tournament with a 3 game guarantee and possible playoff games.
When: Saturday June 10th, registration (signing a waiver and paying the entry fee) begins at 8:30am, the games will start at 9:30am sharp. Expected ending time will be 4pm.
Where: Tanahey Park/Moffo rink in downtown Manhattan near Cherry and Catherine.
How: There will be 8 teams. All players will be randomly assigned as they arrive to the 8 teams to ensure that there is an equal distribution of males, females and talent across the teams. Within reason and with the consent of team captains, there will be trades permitted to allow friends to play with friends. There will be two simultaneous games running, one in the hockey rink and one on the basketball courts adjacent to the rink. There will be 2 divisions with 4 teams each and there will be three 40 minute games round-robin style per team. This will be followed by a playoff game between the top teams from each division. If time permits, there will be a semi-final playoff game preceding the finals.
There is a $25 entry fee and that goes directly to the American Cancer Society.
PLEASE PRE-REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT. If you pre-register, you can show up as late as 9:30am and still be guaranteed to not miss any playing time.
Here are the links to pre-register. They are direct links to the American Cancer Society, so your tax receipt is issued immediately. By pre-registering, you can also put your company name down in case they match donations. Just remember pre-registration closes at 8:00am on June 10th.  At that time the list will be taken to the rink and there will be a record of it when you show up.
Pre-registration Method # 1:
YMeN2e_D4cbCg..&s_tafId=1010
Pre-registration Method #2:
ooTG5xOdvEQ..&s_tafId=1010
Pre-registration Method #3:
Click on „Your ACS Team Event‰, click on „Donate to Team ACS Participant‰ and search under last name „Lau‰.  Please note that the date is incorrect (it‚s a webpage problem).
A representative from the ACS will be there to collect the entry fee and hand out tax receipts for those who wish to pay on the day of the event. A check or credit card info is preferred and can be made out to the American Cancer Society. Of course you can feel free to donate more.
Please keep in mind that this is a co-ed tournament with differing levels of skill. The bottom line is that we will be playing for the American Cancer Society, not the Stanley Cup, so aggressive play will not be tolerated.
As this tournament is round robin, you will need to bring a white and a black shirt.
The first games will start at 9:30am sharp in order to get all of the games in within the permit times. If you show up later, you will still be placed on a team, but you may have missed some playing time.
If you are a goalie, there are only 8 spots available, so please contact Edward Lau (nigeltufnelny at hotmail dot com) or Liza Watts (wattsliza at yahoo dot com) to reserve a spot. If you are a position player, just show up and we‚ll put you on a team.

New Yorker By Nature Tour Kick-off
This summer, your school or civic group can build community outdoors. Yellow Arrow’s text-message technology will record your ideas about outdoor design on a self-guided walking tour of Fort Greene. Then New Yorker by Nature’s team will help you apply them to your neighborhood. We’ll kick off with bargains on Brooklyn Brewery beers, SmartWater, and dessert, plus a raffle for outdoor treats like a season pass to Rooftop Films and a skating lesson. All ages can enjoy the swingset and new menu at the solar-powered Habana Outpost: Brooklyn. See newyorkerbynature.com and ecoeatery.com for details.

CZECH DREAM
“Czech Dream” follows two film students who used a state grant to promote the opening of an entirely fictitious big-box mega-market in a Prague field. The resulting scandal, alternately hilarious and discomfiting, illuminates the waking nightmare of consumerism in a country still adjusting to the strengths and pitfalls of the concept.”
Eddie Cockrell, Variety 12th July ’04
