It's Flair Week - "Like" It To Win It!

It's the start of Week 5 of the summer bocce season and already Flair Week is upon us. Several divisions have flair themes, others are a free-for-all. Thankfully, I play in Dupont, which is theme-less. A themed flair can sometimes be too limiting... restricts you from being super dirty with your flair.

For instance, my team, Just the Tip, was blessed with the mustard brown t-shirt color. It is god-awful--I refer to it as doo doo brown (but with more curse words, which got edited). There really is no other flair for us to do except for something inappropriate and dirty. 80's night does not make a great theme for a poo brown team named after one of my most favorite games Vince Vaughn quotes. I would love to share with you my--let me be accurate here--totes inappropes flair for this season, but I might lose my posting privileges. However, I can tell you it is named after a former Senator from Pennsylvania, who likes to go by Rick.

But I suppose the argument goes both ways... sometimes you just need to narrow things down with a theme and rock a side pony tail and Miami Vice suit!

Either way you break it out, Flair Week is only partially about dressing up like an a-hole. The other part is to win $hit! The winning teams will be awarded gift certificates to their sponsor bars the night of play. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! The top three winners from each division have been compiled into a Facebook album, and everyone can VOTE for their favorite team "Liking" their favorite photo! The album is now live and voting ends at noon on Wednesday, 9/7. The team photo with the most Likes will get a $200 gift certificate to new DC hot spot, Graffiato.

So whether your flair is naughty or nice, 80's or beach-themed, in the end, we all end up winners. Especially that guy with the Google problem.
