Left Behind Kickball

It's true. Lots of people are expecting the rapture to happen on Saturday. Kickball is on Sunday. We're expecting that most of you will still be here for it, so join us for the first week back of weekly k-ball awesomeness! Irvington Park, 3pm. Bring beer and your musical instruments and we'll drink and sing and kick balls into the final days! If the rapture doesn't happen. Well, we'll be drinking and singing and kicking anyway!

  

Shit dudes! We're still here, no worries!

I know, it's been a sketchy winter as far as kickballing schedule goes. But I'm blaming it squarely on the shoulders of those of you who have far too much common sense about spending hours in the freezing cold and rain. Do you have any idea how much shit I get from Eugene (NWAACK) for us being such ballsacks about not playing through the deepest part of winter? Well, a lot. That's how much.This weekend we were planning on having a game but apparently the Stupidbowl is on and people who don't watch a single goddamned game all year long are in an uproar about how they want to be drunk and (not) watch the game on tv.

Click the link over there that will show you info from our Calendar which will have the info updated on it as soon as possible about this event. Also, don't forget the 2nd annual Z-day Zombie Pub Crawl on Monday February 14th! (psst, that info's over there in the calendar too!)

Kickball and oh so much more!

PAPSEK (Portland Adult Pirate-Style Eastside Kickball) is so much more than just a way to play a child's sport. It's cheesy movie nights, bar crawls, zombie walks, epic birthday celebrations, drunk karaoke and inside jokes that everyone is in on . It's dressing up in old lady dresses and pearls without shaving for no good reason other than it's funny. It's jack ' o lantern balls, shit-talking, mud flinging, first base sliding, finger breaking, beer guzzling, stupid costume wearing, rain or shine fun with very, very good friends.

Join us any time!
Irving Park, Portland, Oregon
Sundays at 3pm
*rain or shine
