Bar Sports League of Stamford-Norwalk
Tomorrow marks the kick off of the inaugural season of the Stamford-Norwalk Bar sports league at Seaside Tavern (formally Jimmy's Seaside, see today’s Advocate for details on that). From the organizers:
We've finalized arrangements with Seaside Tavern (formerly Jimmy's Seaside) in Stamford, CT for the Inaugural Bar Sports League of Stamford-Norwalk. They've extended happy hour pricing on all drinks until 8:30 for us.
The season will run for 5 weeks starting this Thursday, March 27, at 6:30 pm and continuing on the following Thursdays. (Please let me know in advance if you can't make it so that we can reschedule your games.)
The sports will be pool, darts, and shuffleboard (Seaside got rid of the foosball table. Sorry), and you will play 2-3 games each week. The bar also has a few video games and TVs for amusing yourself when you're not playing.
Entry will be $25, which you can bring in the form of check or cash on Thursday to the bar, and almost all of that will be returned in the form of prizes.

If you know of any other teams that want to sign up, we can accommodate a few more teams. If you can't make it one week, it's ok - you can make up your games the week before or after. And if you just want to come for the cheap drinks and good company, feel free to come along and bring your friends as well.
I will pick up competition next week since I’m seeing Lewis Black tomorrow at The Palace. My legendary darts skills were honed years ago during a longer than expected post collegiate job search. (Now that we’re in another bad economy we can expect another great crop of up and comers) Since then they’ve gone only slightly rusty on the electric dart boards of The City That Works. There is a disturbing lack of real darts in Stamford. Every bar opts for the electric versions (Murphy’s & Rack & Roll are two exceptions). The downsides are shelling out quarters and having to compete with an inferior dart. The upside is you will never have to relive some the elementary school throwback of having to solve basic math equations on a chalk board in front of your peers.

Ohhh - darts! I haven't had a good darts match in eons. I used to be a bar DJ back in college and whiled away many hours tossing darts waiting for my shifts to start.
I got good enough to be asked to play in the Law School Dart League, despite the fact that my experience with the law up to that point came from a few untimely incidents that technically have since been 'expunged', or something like that...
would love to start playing again and teach my kids. Sure, they're only 5 and 7 but it's a useful skill to have.
