Hey all,

So, last Monday, Air Hockey NYC had its first match, which turned out even better than I thought it would. 12 people showed up for the event, and we played many exciting, fast-paced games of air hockey. Some elected to play with a single puck, while others decided to give multi-puck play a go. We found Manitoba’s to be a comfortable and welcoming environment, and very conducive to air hockey excellence. It was a good time for all involved, and I thank everybody for coming out.

Now, some orders of business to attend to :

1) It was suggested that we meet twice a month instead of once a month. I’m totally open to this idea. What do you all think? Would you be available to play air hockey twice a month?

2) Some proposed that we meet on a day other than Monday. I’m not particularly attached to Mondays, but I picked that day because I figured the bar would be empty and they wouldn’t mind us taking over their game room. I think that Tuesday or Wednesday would also work. What do you guys think?

3) I’m thinking of making t-shirts. If I did make them, I’d be selling them at cost, as I’m not interested in turning a profit or anything like that. If I made t-shirts, would you buy one?

And, finally, I’ll post a few pics from the match. Enjoy!

i might be able to swing twice a month. i actually had a dream that there was this department store nearby and it had 8 air hockey tables. sadly, the dream has not yet come true.

I think it would be worthwhile to try twice a month. One Monday meetup and one Wednesday meetup. This would give more people a chance to attend.

Somewhere down the line, you could have a tournament with prizes once a month such as a bar tab or a funny “Air Hockey Master” t-shirt.

To all, Jeremy is a great host and organizer. I highly recommend attending the Air hockey Meetup regardless of your skill level. Lots of fun!

The Monday/Wednesday bimonthly thing sounds like a great plan. Everyone could use a little more air hockey in their life.

I like how Mr. Race Car Driver, the guy who kicked everyone’s ass, suggests prizes.

But I actually like the idea of t-shirts.
