from long-time Suburber Pat Herrity:

As many of you know I am a long time Suburbs player, officer and old boy.
I am running for Springfield District Supervisor in Fairfax County and
Election Day is November 6th.
I am getting down to the wire - 7 days to go. We have a lot of work
that needs to get done this Sat, Sun, Mon and Tuesday.

If you can help - even if only for a couple of hours - no matter what
hour of the day or night - it would be appreciated. We have something
for everyone - putting up signs, standing in front of grocery stores,
or dropping literature in neighborhoods. Please let me (contact info
below) or my campaign manager Mike Pepe (703-451-5515 or
mike@patherrity.org ) know if you can help.

Also if you know anyone that lives in Springfield please remind them to
vote (preferably for me).
More information on the campaign can be found at www.patherrity.org .

Thanks

Oct 16 Entry

Description of the Old Boys mini-tournament from Lee Coogle:

A total of 18 SOBs arrived at the dust bowl they call Gravelly Point on Sunday.  Our first match (15 min halves) was against West Pot.  We scored more than they did.  The second time around we took on the Poltroons and I believe we took them 5-0.  The whorefest continued with a mixed side of 11 SOBs and Poltroons took on 11 Geese for 7 minute halves.  I'm not sure who finished on top of that one but the Geese are taking credit.

More narratives are available on the message board
