My #MLQChampionship Journey, Day 5 You don't force traditions. They just happen. They're organic. A year and a half ago, I came home from Irvine after reffing nine games and all I wanted to do was…

My #MLQChampionship Journey, Day 4 Winning is fun. But fun is also fun. Try to do both at the same time whenever you can.

My #MLQChampionship Journey, Day 3

This picture is why I’m here. I’ve written before about what a pessimist I am before my team plays. I thought that we’d be lucky to pull off a win against a great 3rd place team in the New Orleans Curse since we’d only brought 14 players. I took this during the gap between our sweep of the Curse and our matchup against the Night Riders. Okay, I thought, at least we made it as far as last year. At…

My #MLQChampionship Journey, Day 2

"I HAVE A BATTLE STATION!"

“I HAVE A BATTLE STATION!” Some people claim beds when they get into a hotel room first. When I walked into the hotel with Miles this afternoon and saw a huge desk with outlets to charge all my electronics and their batteries, that was what I called dibs on. Gotta keep my spreadsheets in front of me and up to date! Why? Well, I have terrible short-term memory. I could tell you what gas cost in…

My #MLQChampionship Journey, Day 1

The three reasons I travel for quidditch.

There are three reasons why I travel for quidditch: To go to the quidditch tournaments themselves, obviously. To see more of the country. To see my friends across the country. I had a plan today when I landed in Austin at noon. I was going to drop my stuff off at Caroline’s, play tourist, get some good shots of the city, and then have plenty to choose from for today’s post. Instead, I ended up…

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's time to toss out my editorial calendar and abdicate my sanity: the Stanley Cup Playoffs are here! The only things I care about more than seeing the Sharks finally raise the cup are the following: breathing, sleeping, eating.

I know you’re all probably waiting to hear about US Quidditch Cup 10 or the latest chapter of Marcenda’s adventures, but that is going to have to wait. Nerd games are fun, nerd sports are even better, but I love hockey above all these things. It’s time to toss out my editorial calendar (j/k, just gonna make a lot of tweaks) and abandon my sanity because the Stanley Cup Playoffs are here! The only…

Countdown to Kissimmee: Face Beat It Pool Party

Countdown to Kissimmee: Face Beat It Pool Party

The crew over at Face Beat It seem to enjoy the sound of my voice and my takes on quidditch, so I got into the pool with them for their US Quidditch Cup 10 Pool Party. Instead of sitting through a long podcast breaking down the whole tournament, waiting for the damn hosts to get to your team already, you can pick and choose which pools you want to listen to. I joined host Ryan Smythe (who…
