One of three designs for Chicago's Quidditch Team. As someone said, "it makes me think Quidditch will kick my ass but that I'll also love it."

Quidkids Assemble!
Chicago Quidditch is holding a photo competition! We are calling for epic, funny and creative "flying" photos. Either planned against a backdrop, an impromptu jump at a funny moment or an awesome snapshot of a game! They are all welcome! Before we can officially kick off this competition and show off our flyers, we need a photo for the flyer! Got any good flying photos out there you would lend to the cause? Can't wait to debut the competition and give all the details! Keep an eye out!
'MERCA DAY!
Which was, of course, yesterday.
But that got me thinking:
How many of you guys are from the U.K. and just how big is Quidditch over there?
Quidditch Startups
As you may or may not know, I'm one of the representatives of the first Quidditch team for the city of Chicago (the Windy City Wizards). Schyler, of course, is the one who thought it up and is doing a phenomenal job as the founder and organizer and everything-er. Previous to helping out with this team, I was one of the founders of LUC Quidditch. I've seen all kinds of drama, frustration, and bruises, but it's more than worth it.
So tell me, are you the founder of a Quidditch team in your area? What has that been like for you?
Because Quidditch isn't the only sport out there (It isn't? Since when?), here's a selection of other ways to get yourself sexified for the pitch.
There's croquet, bicycling in your swimsuit, Oompa-Loompa-esque gymnastics, cosmic bowling, and even dancing at your local drinking establishment.
Quidditch + Bikinis = Awesome
When I was 18, my friends and I organized the Bicycle Bikini Tour of Villa Park, which had some kind of vague goal since we held up signs that said things like "Life Choices Are Our Cause" but really it was mostly an excuse to ride around in our swimsuits.
But I was thinking, can't this idea be applied to Quidditch? Have really hot Quidditch players ride around on their brooms in their swimsuits while holding up signs with their free hands. It could...raise money? Promote awareness? Who's with me?
2012 Summer Olympic Worries
So Matt Smith is going to carry the torch, but I think we're all still wondering if the TARDIS is going to be in use to carry us all over to England for Quidditch. Come on now, the damn thing is bigger on the inside. Hell, people could practice in it on the way there.
My all-time favorite warm-up song. Get it.
