There was a large open space with ample room for long tables and chairs, a small kitchen for the caterers, a raised stage with a free jukebox for entertainment, a little patio out the back, and the game room upstairs complete with foosball, pool, ping pong, and air hockey. It had so much to offer for family gatherings. Also, having the parking lot shared with the church made it readily accessible (not that there's a parking issue in Swarthmore, but it's still nice not to have to walk a few blocks).

There are also meeting rooms that can be reserved. My favorite thing about this place is that there is, every 6 months, a large book sale. The amazing $5-a-bag sale. Oh many of my friends swarmed this place and got themselves some good picks. Always a lovely place when something is happening here. Everybody is quite nice. The hall to the bathroom also has artwork or drawings by local artists? that are a good touch to the building.

It's the best sport ever invented, seriously. I've been to many Dutchland bouts and it is always an absolute blast. They play hard put on a great show. They raffle off neat stuff and have fantastic halftime entertainment. Once I saw Joe Jack Talcum of the Dead Milkmen perform an acoustic set during halftime! For realz! Also, make sure you head to the afterparty when the bout is over, the skaters are dancing machines and party animals and all around awesome hanger outers. Definitely worth the trip all the way out to Lancaster.

I've done Coed softball, dodgeball, and bowling leagues, all of which were a casual level of competitiveness. Great for New-to-Towners - When I first started, it was at a time when I'd moved to the city and knew few enough people, so I signed up as a free agent in dodgeball, which launched me into a decent set of Thursday night drinking friends; I continued to play with them for 2 more seasons. This was a fantastic sport, with decent and fair refs, and the 12th street gym staff was always super friendly to us. Also super conviniently located near Irish pub where we get PSN drink specials! Great for groups - My second year in town, I found out some work buddies had a softball team going, and so I joined up with them, and lo and behold, I now had Sunday afternoon drinking friends! I always got a crack out of our ump, who was admittedly only half-interested in regulating our games, but he was a good sport (he played catcher for us in some low-attendance situations) and had enough stubborness to satisfy my desires in an ump (it's not a position for the weak of character). Great for couples - I did the bowling league as a weekly double-date type of deal with another couple. Unfortunately, that league went til about 10pm, and there was no drinking afterward. PSYCHE! There's totally drink service at your lane, and bowling is a great sport for having a few beers. Lucky Strikes is a fine place to bowl; though I don't think I'd frequent there of my own accord, it made for a good night out for the duration of the season. In the end, this catered to exactly what i was looking for - namely an excuse to get out of my apartment, do just enough athletic activity to trick myself into thinking I was being fit (and at a pretty reasonable price)... and, most importantly, going out for drinks afterward.

Anyway, overall things seem pretty good and we'll see how it goes!
