Man Weekend 2010

Man Weekend this year was a little bit different from last year, but similarly awesome!  There wasn't nearly as much fire and explosives, mostly because I didn't plan on as much, but also due to poor weather and malfunctioning fuse.  At the same time, the cannon was particularly fantastic!  9 of us set out for that hallowed ground in northern PA.  We kicked the weekend off with a nice round of golf followed by a lot of gun and cannon fire.

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but Keith was able to take a couple shots and videos along the way.

A good game of poker rounded off our first night, and we prepared for our main event day.  A good breakfast and a pancake battle led us into MAN-LYMPICS.  This great championship consisted of clay pigeon shooting, pistol shooting, bowling ball shot-put, football toss, longest golf shot, caber toss, and a game of poker.  I was way out in front in the beginning, but Jimmy made a triumphant comeback to claim victory.   In the middle of all that, we set off the cannon a couple times and  played a game of Ultimate Frisbee.

This is the best of the videos I was able to collect.




The weekend was a great success.  Keith had the great idea of making a short bar trip to a local establishment.   The stories and pictures from that gem of an event will be left off this blog, but you could only imagine what happened when 9 crazy guys loaded into the back of a pick up truck and ventured into a crazy redneck bar for a drink at the same time a bachelorette party dropped in.
