Ultimate Makes the News


Watched Muppets in Space tonight with Kai, Jeff, Amy, Erik, Melissa, Kemp and Cam. Don’t believe the imdb rating. The movie was a total blast, highly recommended. Let’s just say I was left wondering just how much of the humor in the Muppets went over my head when I was younger. Heh.
Without further ado, here’s the newspaper story I mentioned last time… Great article (apart from a little typo). ๐Ÿ™‚

Funny story about this — I guess at one point the reporter had asked if she could use me as a contact for the story. Here I thought she meant for her research. Saturday morning rolled around, I awoke to voice on the phone I didn’t recognize, asking for me by name. I blurt out “He’s not available right now.” The voice says back “That’s okay, I’ll call back later.”, after which point I cursed to myself for not saying “I’m not interested.”
It wasn’t until four hours later that I realized my home number was in the paper as a contact for Ultimate in Sarasota, and that my “telemarketer” was actually person who had read the article that morning and was calling to inquire. Thankfully he did call back (thanks Greg) ๐Ÿ™‚
I’ve had five more people call since that — woo! I’ve invited them all out to tomorrow night’s practice, should be a lot of fun! ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Gah!! I have no idea. I think the editor must have done that one, because I’m pretty sure the reporter (who I spoke with several times in person) could figure it out!
