| mflap: (07/05/2006, 09:19) | Generally I'd prefer a bit earlier on Sat or Sun as my afternoons are usually dominated by kids birthday parties and other kids activities (I have two, ages 2 and 4) but I'll do my best to play at 1. |
| saras: (07/05/2006, 21:11) | Usually open on the weekends, prefer mornings or early afternoons. |
| ee7klt: (07/06/2006, 11:04) | shmooth suggested moving the game to 10am for this saturday. if most people can make it at this time permanently, should we move it up? It looks like there are already a couple of people favoring an earlier time. |
| shmooth: (07/06/2006, 14:14) | maybe this week i'd just play a short game - take off early to watch the WC game - the 2nd half, anyways. i'm bigtime into watching WC games, but that doesn't mean other folks are.
ummm....the earlier time sounds like it's not good for another person who gets off work at noon. someone suggested moving it to later, say 2pm instead of 1pm. anyone got thoughts on that? regardless of what we decide i'll be there for at least a while. want to add another game to my repertoire! |
| neoleo: (07/06/2006, 15:07) | I am in for whatever time. |
| trentic: (07/06/2006, 18:45) | I can't make Saturdays but am available: Sundays (all day), Thurs/Fri (evenings) and potentially other evenings during the week with enough forewarning. |
| mflap: (07/06/2006, 21:35) | I'd prefer the 10 a.m. time this week but I'm down with Noon regularly. Just let me know the final call for Saturday and if it's 10 a.m., I can play.
BTW, I coach so I have some small goals and cones if we want to get that formal. |
| jairoski: (07/07/2006, 12:14) | you sure you want to start the game @ 1:00 pm this Saturday since the 3rd place world cup game won't finish till that time. |
| shmooth: (07/07/2006, 14:42) | I changed the gametime to 10 am!
At least one person won't be able to make that time, which stinks, but it seems like most can. When we get together we can talk about future times. This WC game really threw a wrench into our original plans. That said, now I'm pretty excited to watch Ronaldo vs. Podolski. I found out about one other group of folks getting together in the city later in the day - around 3.30 pm, i think. Will try to get more details. I apologize for the time change! |
| shmooth: (07/07/2006, 14:45) | don't quote me on this, but Saturday's game, I believe, starts at 12 noon our time. The final on Sunday, however, starts at 11 am our time - different than the last few matches. |
| jairoski: (07/07/2006, 14:51) | you're right - saturday's game @ noon |
| shmooth: (07/07/2006, 16:37) | added a new game - look under 'San Francisco' - it's the 'West Sunset Playground' game. 3:30 PM on Saturday. |
| shmooth: (07/07/2006, 23:09) | some of my emails apparently said '11' instead of '10'. sorry. it's 10. |
| shmooth: (07/08/2006, 22:42) | game report - Saturday, July 8, 2006 - we should probably add this kind of feature, so people can know in more detail what the status of the game is.
in any case - good game today, y'all. i admit being a skeptic that 3v3 would be any good - but it was very good. fun. competitive. good exercise. etc. thanks to all for showing, bringing cones, etc. |
| mflap: (07/12/2006, 22:31) | Yes last Saturday was good, hot, but good. I am running a 1/2 marathon on Sunday so I probably can only play for about 1/2 hour this Saturday but I'm up for it if we have enough players.

| ee7klt: (07/15/2006, 00:53) | hi all,
I was hoping to get another game going at 6pm on Monday. Are any of you up for this? Feel free to suggest better time(s). KL |
| shmooth: (07/15/2006, 01:47) | monday might be tough, but possible.
a video for only our game - exclusive! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNF_P281Uu4 |
| shmooth: (07/15/2006, 09:43) | hi all,
i'm out for today, saturday, July 15. sorry for the late notice! i pulled a back muscle or something yesterday and thought it'd be back to normal by today, but i was wrong - i'm barely mobile. should be fine by next week, though. again, sorry for late notice. emailing all those who have updated their attendance for the game this week, too. |
| shmooth: (07/18/2006, 12:53) | hey y'all,
did y'all meet on Monday? how was this past Saturday?? |
| littlebitty: (07/20/2006, 19:42) | hello all,
i am interested in some pick up... i could do monday nights.. the later the better.. i work down in santa clara so it takes me a while to get back home... |
| rlife99: (07/22/2006, 10:39) | Interested in joining the pickup game. Is the game still on today for 10:00 am? |
| shmooth: (07/27/2006, 00:08) | the game did happen this past weekend, July 22, and I expect it'll be on for the foreseeable future. |
| shmooth: (07/29/2006, 14:48) | good game today, y'all! all 3 of us brave souls!
next week's game time is changed to 11:00 am! |
| shmooth: (08/06/2006, 02:13) | anyone show up today? i did - but almost an hour late. sorry if anyone showed up! looks like this game is defunct. |
| shmooth: (08/12/2006, 17:14) | good game today, y'all! now, i need to check out some new tunes - see what you youngsters are listening to these days.
This is the site I mentioned: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/ This one I don't really check out often - really, only when I want a second opinion on an album/group: http://www.cokemachineglow.com/ And Pitchfork took down their 'Top 50' lists, but I finally found a copy of the albums, at least: http://music.allofmp3.com/awards/awards_pitchfork.shtml This looks like the singles list: http://tinyurl.com/lwmow And Pato Banton's the dude I saw at the Independent a couple of months ago (or was it longer??): http://www.vitalspot.com/PatoBanton/ |
| shmooth: (08/15/2006, 12:31) | I added 3 shots of the Grattan Park field in the Flickr badge in the left nav bar. If you manage to see one of them pop up, you can click it and it'll give you a better view - while taking you to the Flickr site.
Once on the Flickr site, click the 'all sizes' button to get a bigger version of the pic - get a little more detail. "What's the basis?", as Kanye might say? Not sure - you get to know what the field looks like if you've never been there. Plus, having Flickr pics of the field could help spread the word about any particular game, given the link back to the Socster.com game page. Stuff like that, I guess. |
| shmooth: (08/15/2006, 17:28) | This is pretty intense. Check out this map using Microsoft's new 'Local/Live/whatever-it's-called' service:

| futbol: (08/19/2006, 09:03) | Hey all - Sorry to cancel at the last minute (Saturday morning). But I did refer the game to four or five people this week, so I hope they join you. If the game is held today, I hope you all have a blast! |
| shmooth: (08/19/2006, 18:17) | we had 6 people this week, so good turnout, y'all. two new folks showed up as two others left, so was cool. |
| shmooth: (08/27/2006, 22:45) | sorry i canceled at last minute. hope y'all had enough to play! |
| shmooth: (09/04/2006, 02:58) | college soccer is here!
if anyone is down to see a game, holla. usf is ranked 10, and ucb was rankd 11 in pre-season, but has since fallen out of the top 25. it's pretty awesome that our field is so close to the school, too. we is lucky. |
| buskokov: (09/16/2006, 17:26) | Is this Saturday game still current? I showed up today and the entire field was being used for little kids' leagues. |
| FutbolFreak: (10/14/2006, 14:13) | is this game still going on i showed up today and there was nobody but little kids. it looked like one of the fields was free, but no adult soccer players..anyone know of a sat pickup game in SF besides the 7:45am one? |
| shmooth: (10/14/2006, 16:23) | hey FutbolFreak, this game is probably dead. it was on the precipice there for quite a while.
there used to be at least one other game on Saturdays - in Golden Gate Park at about 2.30 or 3.30, but i'll be darned if i can find the game listed anymore. sorry! you can always post and check craigslist, and check some of the other sites listed on the left. |
