the annual easter big wheel race was exciting as always in 2011. thrills, spills, hilarious costumes, and a huge crowd of spectators cheering on the “contestants.”

was able to catch the unicorns’ final game of the season again during my trip to nyc in october. this time they emerged victorious (though in the consolation match).

this actually marks a nice one year milestone from my very first post here at reidspice.com – here’s the 2007 unicorns team photograph from a year ago.

went to ascot for the king george horse races while we were staying in london. it was a nice hot day and a classically british outing. pimms was consumed along with copious champagne and the spiciest salted beef sandwich i’ve ever eaten. our friends from london & brighton were excellent hosts.

had a great time at the final four in san antonio. got some nice shots of the final after i realized that they’d actually let me take in my big camera & lens. great weather, nice people, and an exciting final. only downside was carolina collapsing.. oh well. things look good for next year.

reid plays soccer

night soccermy old friend reid plays soccer from time to time with these cats from spain (that’s reid in the background in the white shorts). i caught one of their games last week at pier 40. i think they won 80-1. downside was that reid’s friend vic had to go to the hospital afterwards with a shoulder injury.. ouch.reid and i used to play in a band together in college. it was a good rhythm section: reid & reid on bass & drums.

unicorns

unicornswent to see my friend caitlin’s street hockey team play in the btsh tournament last weekend. they lost in a double overtime shootout.. a rough way to end the season but it was a great game.
