Quad-meet with Bryn Mawr, UPenn, and NYU

Hello, friends.

Since the number of courts at Drexel is pitiful, we met at Bryn Mawr College on Saturday, February 28th, 2009 to conduct an IBA quad-meet. Drexel played against New York University's badminton team. They had legitimate jerseys. Serious business.

I don't have the results of our individual matches.
Just know this: Drexel defeated NYU 5-4.

We are the IBA champions of the east coast, supposedly.

Some photos are here. Bui Wonder bogarted my camera and took some of the shots toward the latter half of the day. Pz.

I LIKE SUSHI.

What? Another one-post week? You ought to cut this guy's salary. That is, if he got paid for doing this. But no, he doesn't.

We were at Bryn Mawr College for Mid-Atlantic Classic 2009 from February 13th-15th, 2009. Somehow, we always seem to find our way back to the Main Line time and time again. Tournament results are here.

Drexel Badminton highlights:

• Zdravko Tyankov - Men's Singles - B Level Quarterfinalist

Photos from me are scarce. Peter Teuben's gallery is much meatier.

This tournament was a bit of a wake-up call for Drexel Badminton. We could've done better. Much better.

Change is a-brewin'. I can feel it. In fact, if I may borrow from Phil Collins, I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

You just wait and see.

So you. So Yang. So wow!

Mainline Doubles 2009 Results

Here's the deal. I don't actually know the results.

But I have photos up and that's as good of an excuse as ever to make a post about them.

I am rather fond of the 35mm f/2 now, of which this set was predominantly shot with. Let me know your favorites.
