Richmond Badminton "Crawl" or "Fest" [Archive] - Badminton Central Discussion Forums

Thinking over what we do with LB every few years, and with the sudden explosion of gyms available, let's consider making LB's next visit into a badminton "Crawl".

There is an east end arts gallery crawl where in a close proximity area, there are a large number of galleries and studios, and people literally spend the entire night (runs through a weekend) and visits as many galleries as they can.

We could implement the same - how many different games, gyms and players we could play in one night! In LB's previous visits, the gyms were a bit more distant from each other, but now with gyms so close together, you could literally play at one gym, then "crawl" over to the next gym to play a different group.

We can get if more organized by the time LB is ready. Hmmmm.... I guess this could be a new method of torture....

Errrrr... I think we need to reserve an ambulance for me (or my group), for such an event. :p

I am sure some fanatics from my group (if they do show up with me) will love the idea. Trust me, they can just last forever. If you promise them an "all you can eat" dinner afterward, they will just keep running and jumping like crazy.

Personally, I will see how my schedule can lay out. However, I am afraid I don't have too much freedom in baddy courts, as I used to have... :cool: But, hey, I will try my best to at least get through some of the gyms. And (as an excuse) to run away, if I run out of breath at the end. :D

That's the great part of the locations of the gyms - there are tons of restaurants in between, many AYCE, so we can do play - eat - play - eat - play - etc ... until ...

When the Han Family and LB & East Coast Gang finalize a date this year or next, please sound the alarm :D. Kwun should add a special feature to the BF software: an alarm or siren goes off both graphically and accoustically when a gigantic wave of visitors come to a particular town for the sole purpose of beating up the locals on baddie courts.

That will be badminton + grouse grind + hospital visit more likely... :o

This mathematical equation should actually read:
badminton + grouse grind – sushi restaurant + hospital visit

a potential trip to Vancouver is brewing right now. :)

all details are still very vague, and complicated logistics have yet to be worked out. if it works out, it will be "some time in August" and will be for a long weekend.

it will be fun for BC to rent a few courts in RPro, and invite all the forum members for a few hours of sweat drenching badminton.

i will keep you guys updated.

Oh S**T, now I realy have to buy that red carpet.

Kwun, that is great news! I hope you're able to pull it off. Give us as much of a heads up as possible. I'm keeping my fingers crossed you're not going to be here the same weekend I'm down in the U.S.

This coming August? Hmmm... Let me know more details, see if I can make it as well. It's always an honor to meet the Han family. I can't believe I missed 2 chances already... :o

Many, the VRC gangs might see my old face like twice a year this time. Slacking off lately, did not get much training going on. Let me try to get rid off some extra fat first. :D

and it will be an honor to meet the legendary Lazybuddy, and have the honor to be part of the torture team as well along with the other Vancouver members. hehe.

unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on how you look at it), my mom and sis will be there too, but i am hoping they will be out doing sightseeing and eating and relaxing and looking after the baby boy. i will get ample badminton time. ;)

i am not in great shape either. i was no where as fit as i was 3 years ago. but no excuse, we will still play till our lungs and legs starts to collapse.

Great news, then but I'm away Aug 7/8th and maybe towards the end of Aug too.

On the other hand, I should be in San Fran around Oct 21 week for the Oracle Open World.

Hey WWC, any openings in your department? :D Would like to apply just for the fact of going San Fran regularly to play there ;):D
