Wednesday touch on the Mall, 5:45pm near Smithsonian metro.

It’s going to be another warm summer day, which brings the threat of afternoon thunderstorms. Right now it looks like if it rains, it will mostly be early on, with under 50% chance of scattered light rain from 6-8. Try to be on time! We’ve already moved the start time back from 5:30 to 5:45. We can’t play until we have enough people, so this is a group effort.

Touch on tidal basin Saturday 9:30am (Wallenberg field)

It’s going to be hot and humid. Fortunately the water fountains are fixed and turned back on.

To my chagrin, someone beat me to the 10:45-11:30 permit for the next 3 weekends. There is no way to see what group it is. Last time this happened they were a no show. Fingers crossed it is the same tomorrow, or at least a group willing to share space. But I’m asking flexibility and forgiveness now.

Wednesday on the Mall 5:45pm

Smithsonian metro side of the Washington monument. Be prepared to have to change into turf shoes, sneakers, or barefoot if the rangers are on patrol. It’s worth the risk to play on the nice grass and have plenty of space, versus the other option on 17th street side where we’d have to contend with kickball for space.

Another hot summer day, so make sure you hydrate!
