WAKA is excited to announce that we just confirmed our first ever SXSW Interactive pre-party at Shangri La on March 8th in Austin, TX.
The plan is to throw a bash to kick off the weekend and bring WAKA players from all over the country together in one fun, fabulous venue! Join us on Thursday, 3/8 from 5:30pm - 7:30 for happy hour, prizes, snacks from East Side King- one of Austin’s best food trailers, and some kickball love! Wear your WAKA t- shirt for a FREE drink/ snack voucher! We can’t wait to see you there!
Yesterday, we started a WAKA account on Pinterest and quickly found some people following our WAKA Baked Goods pinboard, where we share pictures of all the great kickball-themed cakes and cookies our creative players bake.
We’ll let Paul tell the story: "Kasey was part of a veteran squad that had several seasons of kickball under its belt; Paul was a member of a rookie squad from a new league nearby, playing its 12th-14th games of kickball ever at the tournament. The two lived two miles apart in California but had never met until they ran into each other on a post-game flip-cup table in Vegas. Neither of their teams won any national championships that weekend, but they reconvened back in Venice, and on January 26th, 2012, they celebrated their three year anniversary. And returned to Vegas this past fall to help both their teams go 3-0 in pool play. Love bringeth experience..."
The picture here is from a trip the two of them took to Macchu Pichu, Peru last spring.
We love that WAKA Kickball players around the country enjoy making cakes, cookies and other baked goods that are WAKA Kickball themed. So, we thought "let's pin them!" We now have a Pinterest page just for WAKA Baked Goods, like the ones shown in the images below that people recently shared on our Facebook page. Check them out, pin your own on Pinterest and then let us know so that we can repin them!
Pictured on the right is Rachel from one of our Los Angeles leagues and her boyfriend, Jeff. They met playing WAKA Kickball in March 2011. "It was the first game of my very first season playing (Jeff had already played a couple seasons prior) and he was a member of the opposing team," explains Rachel. "Flirty banter ensued during and after the game, and we've been together ever since."
"I would say that joining WAKA has been one of the best decisions I've ever made," says Rachel. "Not only did I meet a great guy, but I've met some really awesome people and have made great friends!"
Next up in our February series on Kickball Love, we have a story about one of our own employees, Kristen, who met her husband, Ed, while she was out recruiting new players for her league (Hey, if you want to work for WAKA like Kristen and meet people while you recruit players...here's your chance!).
