Wifflefest Update
Jul11
Wifflefest update from Jeremy. Let me know if you are coming. You could just leave a comment.
Date: Saturday July 19, 2008
Location: Boonslick Park Pavilion #2, St. Charles, MO
Official Start Time: 12:00 pm
Entry Fee: $5 per person (to help cover the cost of the pavilion rental)
Q. What is Wifflefest?
A. Wifflefest is a semi-annual celebration of the greatest recreational game ever created. Period.
Q. I’ve never played Wiffle Ball. What is it?
A. You’re either a liar or a commie. Anyone born in the U.S. since 1954 has played Wiffle Ball. A list of the rules for our game will be provided on site. No communists allowed.
Q. What should I bring to Wifflefest?
A. Your drinking shoes. You will also be responsible for your own food and drink. The pavilion does have a grille. I will provide charcoal. Park regulations stipulate that beer is allowed but kegs are not. The pavilion has several tables, but bring other chairs if you want.
Q. Do I need anything else?
A. Game equipment will be provided. If you’re as passionate about WB as I am and have your own specially crafted balls, feel free to bring them. Acceptable bats include the standard yellow bat, Black Magic, JMX and JTL aluminum wiffle ball bats. No taped bats. If you can’t hit a homer with a standard bat, hit the gym.
Directions:
From I-70, exit at 5th Street North. Left on Boonslick Rd. Right on Rosebrae Dr. Left on Dardenne St. Park is on the left. Mapquest lists the address as 1000 Rosebrae Dr, St. Charles, MO, 63301.

How many people have confirmed going to this?

I’ve got 8 confirmed, which does not count Matt or any of the 15 people he invited. I’m still waiting for a couple more responses on my end and would like Matt to confirm his total entourage.

I know I have myself, another friend, and possibly 2 more depending on how the weekend shakes out.

No one has told me anything yet. I will try to make some phone calls this week. Did Mike and Rengel fall off the face of the earth.

Any update on additional players? Eric said possibly two additional friends. Any word? I’m at 14 confirmed with an additional two people on the fence.

So far… 5 confirmed (Rengel, Eric, Mike, Katie, Nickie), 1 maybe (John). I will see who else is on board.

My one friend is now on the fence. I could possibly have 1 to 5 extra people.

Hey Matt! I just heard about this from Eric. Is it too late to get in because I am thinking I will be in St. Louis this weekend by chance. I was supposed to go to the Cards game but I would consider changing plans for Wifflefest! Well, maybe I will see you soon. Either way, I love your blog!

Sure, it is never too late to get into Wifflefest. On your way, can your drag Eric out of the East St. Louis gutter and bring him with you.
