Potlatch 2006

Taryn loves ultimate frisbee. LOVES it. So when she heard about Potlatch, an ultimate frisbee tournament in Seattle where teams camp out ON the fields for the weekend and drink lots of beer together while playing her favorite game, she was determined to play. The only problem is.... EVERYBODY seems to want to play so the event is by invitation only. And so started Taryn's quest to get a bid for her team. I helped her with the photoshop image and she sent off her bid for the event.

Per Taryn's Blog:

Our team has been accepted to Potlatch, a big ultimate tournament in Seattle on July 1-2. We still need players, so let me know if you want to join us! Here's the bid I sent in (thanks to Lisa for her crazy photoshop skills).



30-year-old Taryn Jackson has done quite a few things in her life. She spent a long time getting her PhD while playing a lot of ultimate, she finally landed a real job, she's got a cute little house with a proud collection of beads earned on Bourbon Street, good friends, a nice attitude. But there's just one little thing she hasn't quite gotten around to doing yet--something most people have done by her age. Done a lot. Taryn's never, ever, ever played at Potlatch--not even by accident. So is that such a big deal? Well, for Taryn's buds around the country, it sure is. Although they think she's a bit of an oddball, they just can't believe that a woman who loves playing ultimate and partying has never been to the biggest ultimate party on the planet. They consider it their duty to help Taryn out of her dire situation and form a crazy, fun, and spirited team for Potlatch 2006. Please help Taryn's teammates, a bunch of really fun ultimate players who all played together in Tucson, AZ, lure their dear friend out of lifelong Potlatch chastity by giving their team a bid to Potlatch 2006!

Congrats Taryn!
