It all started with a singles rec league during the winter in Chicago. The game was whirlyball, a precarious mix of basketball, lacrosse, and bumper cars that takes place at a bar. Our team went undefeated in the playoffs and took first place that season (not to mention first place the next 5 seasons...but we will mention it because we're quite good at it) and the rest worked itself out. Since that wintry day, there have been concerts, Cubs games (and World Series wins!), Medieval Times trips, C2E2 cosplaying, and countless adventures that we wouldn't trade for anything.
