Hey Everyone,
You better be feeling good. Why? You are one of the
privileged recipients of the first Spikeball Newsletter. Print it,
frame it, smoke it - we don
’t care- just make sure you give it a good
read and help spread the love by sending it on to friends.
I
didn’t want to send this out until we were closer to the launch but the
stack of “When can I get my own set?” emails is getting a bit deep.
This is music to my ears. Spikeballers’ demands can’t be ignored.
June
1st…or right around there is the answer. That’s when 5 years worth of
“We really should launch Spikeball as a business” discussions on the
beach will finally materialize. 5 years? Our bad for allowing you to
sit so bored on the beach this whole time. No worries- we’ll make it up
to you. Once you play, you’ll instantly forgive us and fall in love
with the hottest thing to hit the beach since Hasselhoff.
So
what are we doing right now? Why wait until June 1st’ish to launch?
Other than sitting on a runway (2+ hours!) while writing this, we are
refining the web site (it WILL win awards), tweaking the final net
design, and lining up the details for the launch party in Chicago on
June 14th. You're on the list- don’t worry. Our non-Chicago friends
need not worry; we’ll add events closer to you and your beach as we
move along through this soon-to-be-epic-summer. We are getting requests
from folks in places like Italy, Florida, Maryland, California, and
even Poland…anyone know of a good beach in Poland?
I keep
referring to “We.” Who are we? There are 8 of us launching Spikeball.
We are from Kankakee and Scotland aka KankaScot- equally tropical
places. As we get further down the road we’ll share more about us, how
we got here, and our innate ability to absolutely dominate on the
beach. The "About Us" section on the site that launches June 1st will
be the finest About Us section you've ever read.

“Turn off all
electronic devices and fold up the tray” is on so I’ve got to run. I'm
not going to ask yet, but be prepared for the next newsletter where I
ask all of you to invite your Facebook friends to join the group. In
the meantime send this literary masterpiece to your friends and
enemies. Do it and feel the Spikeball karma creep into your life…it
can’t be denied.
Enjoy,
Chris
