Foosballers Unite!

Hey all,

I've talked with several of you already about this, but I wanted to make it official, and post some pictures.

Some people (by this I mean many women) can meet new people, and make friends over nothing more than a cup of coffee. Other people (by this I mean most men) only begin to open up over some sort of shared activity, or even through competition. That's why I think it's a great idea to have some sort of opportunity for games or competition at the Front Porch. Here were my options:

Video Games - Even when video games help people relate to each other (i.e. when they're multi-player) it still amounts to two or more people staring at a screen. It's indirect relationship, and I think that's something we'll want to steer clear of.

Billiards - Takes up too much space, and comes with too much equipment to keep track of.

Ping-Pong - Might be good, but also takes up a lot of space, and the balls fly everywhere, and people might collide with each other. But still an option.

Curling - Difficult to accomplish indoors, plus only 3 Americans know how to play it, and they're all Canadian ex-patriates.

Foosball - Aha! It takes up very little space, requires very little equipment, and everyone knows how to play it. Plus I just found a beautiful one with electronic scoring and everything for only 200 bucks. So I bought it. Here are the pictures:
