roadtrip report post #1
Arrived safely in Greenville SC after a suprisingly pleasant drive. Met up with Esposito at Travinia, the restaurant he is assistant manager at, and promptly got red carpeted. All of the food was tremendous> I'd never had lobster ravioli before, or tiramisu. Wow.
Adult bevvies commenced and are still commencing. Bevulating will probably go on non-stop for the duration of my visit. The keg is iced already iced, but we are waiting til tourney day to tap it.
Today is all about bocce court preparation, last minute pre tourney errand running and supply gathering. Tourney grub is gonna be something called Frogmore Stew, which sounds kind of like what you get at a crawfish boil, only with shrimp instead of crawfish.
Heres Espo laying down some more sand to level out the playing surface. Since he is using sand this year, he has not mowed the grass for the court boundaries to a different height, but there are markers in all four corners to show where the edges are. After walking the surface last night I am confident that I probably won't have to bend gravity too much in order to place high.
say hi to cappuccino,
