Calvinball™ by Samantha, Ntan McNunofurbizwax
August 17th, 2009 9:07 AM / Location: 44.969549,-93.28632So we met up in Loring park for a sporting game of Calvinball. We had been hoping to meet up with some other players, but Samantha and Ntan were the only ones who showed up.
The first thing we did was establish the goalposts and the zones. We then made up rules as we go.
The pics and vids tell the rest of the story.

Gideon
Samantha gave him a violet collar to permit him to play the game even though he didn't have a mask.
explaining as best we can
We told Gideon about the rules still in effect, and pointed out each zone.
