Subtitle: Once again, it's time for the Ithaca Area Ultimate
Alliance's annual Halloween Hat Tournament!
Otherwise known as ultimate frisbee in costumes. We played at Cass
Park on Sunday November 6th. The weather was surprisingly decent.
We had postponed it from the previous weekend as that was looking
pretty sketchy. Even if it was just pickup on steriods and costumes,
we had fun.
022-DSC_9730: Lena and friend.
023-DSC_9732: "Injured Frank".
024-DSC_9737: The Lei Team is ready to go.
025-DSC_9739: Kenji releases a mighty pull for the Non-Lei Team.
026-DSC_9740: Witch Katie swoops in a step ahead of Cammo-Sarah for
an endzone catch. I decided she needed a broom so I added one
(small
and full-size versions).
027-DSC_9741: Kenji catches one in the enzone.
028-DSC_9744: Camel Katie has the disc.
029-DSC_9749: Team Lei is ready for the pull.
030-DSC_9757: Moose Todd arrives.
031-DSC_9758: Witch Katie with product placement.
032-DSC_9761: Lena marks Taylor.
033-DSC_9765: Taylor marks Dragon-Lena.
034-DSC_9771: Good spirit between games.
035-DSC_9775: Space-Hannah and Todd.
036-DSC_9778: Dragon-Leno throws it.
037-DSC_9779: Howie handles with Pirate ??? marking.
038-DSC_9786: Taylor puts a throw past Dragon-Lena.
039-DSC_9788: Jack-O-Lantern Jeff watches as Wizard Niki conjures.
040-DSC_9797: Witch Katie flies in to mark Cammo-Sarah.
041-DSC_9806: Zeb catches one.
042-DSC_9810: Former-Camel Katie gets a throw past Taylor.
043-DSC_9811: Three jockey for position (no one got hurt).
044-DSC_9819: Witch Katie magically comes up with a catch.
045-DSC_9827: A catch for Zeb.
046-DSC_9831: Taylor scores in the endzone.
047-DSC_9835: Cowboy Paul tries to intercept a throw in the endzone...
048-DSC_9836: ...but misses and Kenji gets it.
049-DSC_9843: Jack-O-Lantern Jeff has bubbles!!!
050-DSC_9846: Wizard Niki and Little Mermaid Min puzzle over this endzone
bubble mirth.
051-DSC_9848: I'm not actually sure how Dragon-Lena is actually holding
the frisbee. My guess is that she caught a hammer in the endzone over
her head and then quickly brought it down.
052-DSC_9850: Ray watches his throw with frustration as it is almost
2.5mm off target.
053-DSC_9853: Wizard Niki and friend. (Technically, she's Harry Potter,
but that's too much for me to type.)
054-DSC_9858: Cowboy Paul was given the rabbit-ear "superpower"
curse, which requires him to move by hopping.
055-DSC_9861: Camel-Katie throws one while Bunny-Cowboy Paul is still
hopping into position from the back.
056-DSC_9863: Cowboy Bunny Paul demonstrates proper two handed
bunny catching technique.
057-DSC_9864: Got it.
058-DSC_9888: Taylor and Jeff T taking a break.
059-DSC_9913: Frank throws while being marked by Shark Rob.
060-DSC_9926: Dragon-Lena catches the disc...
061-DSC_9927: ...winds up...
062-DSC_9928: ...and quickly makes a continuation throw...
063-DSC_9929: ...before her mark can block it.
064-DSC_9931: Space Hannah marked by Little Mermaid Min. Note, Dino-Jeff
(no relation to Jack-O-Lantern Jeff), wearing the "Tiera of Tripping"
superpower, is coming up from behind to help.
065-DSC_9934: Dino-Jeff uses his superpower on ???, causing him to have
to fall down and then stand up (while the stall count continues).
066-DSC_9952: Dino-Jeff jumps for the disc.
067-DSC_9963: Cowboy Bunny Paul lays out for the disk in the endzone.
068-DSC_9964: But alas, 30 minutes of non-stop hopping plus a
second negative superpower (having to hold the skeleton arm in your
primary hand) takes its toll.
069-DSC_9965: Actually, it's possible that Paul defended the disc stopping
Moose Todd from getting it. I don't remember, but it might have actually
been an impressive defensive layout play.
070-DSC_9973: Lena gets a throw past Todd.
071-DSC_9977: Frank winds up...
072-DSC_9978: ...and throws a forehand.
073-DSC_9980: He also catches one.
074-DSC_9998: On the sidelines, Katie is conjuring BUBBLES! with her magic
wand.
077-katie-broom:
101-DSC_0025: Paul and bubbles!
102-DSC_0029: Dino Jeff is calling "travel" from the sideline.
I believe he called travel on every player in sequence. I think he
was bored. But Howie was on the field at the time.
103-DSC_0030: Taylor, Katie, and ??? are ready to receive the pull.
104-DSC_0032: Min and Niki seem a bit less than happy.
109-DSC_0039: Bubbles!
110-DSC_0041: BUBBLES!
111-DSC_0055: Shark-Rob and Little Mermaid Min grooving with bubbles!
112-DSC_0057: Shark-Rob in full Left Shark Mode.
113-DSC_0058: Oh no, now he's in Right Shark Mode, how embarassing!
114-DSC_0072: Niki charges her Harry Potter bubble wand. And...
115-DSC_0073: Fakeous Latinos and Magic!
116-DSC_0074: I asked her to look scary or serious or something.
117-DSC_0078: Witch Katie and her bubble wand. I was too lazy to
photoshop in a grey sky with lightning. Just pretend...
118-DSC_0080: A Shark is chasing the Little Mermaid!
119-DSC_0084: With ground support from Taylor, Min poses. Again, if
I were more skilled and less lazy, I would have photoshopped in some
ocean. That was kind of the point of these pictures.
120-DSC_0085: Suddenly Min switches from fun to fear. I don't think
120a-DSC_0070: Taylor reveals what's under her shorts. (It was November,
what'd you expect?) Addendum: Taylor suggested I caption this picture: Sexy
Jim K.
121-DSC_0091: Jack-O-Lantern Jeff and his Jack-O-Lantern-mobile!

And finally, here's a picture of the (almost) whole group.
And in case you need a who's who translation (a work in progress)...
