Tray tables up and laptops away, we are heading west to an absolutely beautiful locale, Newport Beach. It lies squarely in Orange County and on a tiny little ocean named Pacific. Newport Beach/Corona del Mar jumped into Spikeball with both feet last Fall. BIG thanks to D Ford for spreading the love there! This week’s Spikeballer of the Week is Piper B! After waiting a few hours for her to wake up (see photo) weRead more…

Friday morning, already? Yep, shutdown Outlook and anything else work related and enjoy this week’s Spikeballer of the Week. Mr B Moxley stopped by Studio 3B for his interrogation a few days ago. He’s a student so I’m guessing we can all learn something from him. Sit up straight and read on… * Where do you live? Arlington Heights * Best vacation? Aruba, they have the sunniest beaches prime for spikeballing it up. * WorstRead more…

Doctors Without Borders are an insanely efficient group (87% of money raised goes towards actual services) and have already helped over 2,000 people in Haiti. Doctorswithoutborders.org. Get a set and forward this to all of your friends. This programRead more…

You read it right— Spikeball sets are $35 each until Thanksgiving. Save it, I can already hear your dismissive, cynical tone when you think, “OK, they are normally $49.99, I bet they’re going to waaaaay overcharge for shipping.” Once again, you are wrong- except you J. Greene (I am going to overcharge the hell out of you) FREE SHIPPING, that’s how things are going to be around here for the next few weeks. Fine print:Read more…

The first person that can name either of the beaches (or at least the towns) will win a Spikeball T Shirt. 2nd Place gets a Spikeball hat. Answers to: chris@spikeball.com PhotoRead more…

Thanks for all of the submissions. I’m sorry to report that the Spikeball Community’s Not-So-National-Geographic skills leave a lot to be desired. No one named the right location. Since most of you are most likely used to consolation prizes… And the winner is… Actually we’ve got 2 winners: Kevin Luo of Northwestern U and Blake Rosekrans of Milwaukee, WI!!! They were the closest but were still pretty far. Photo #2 is Straight Outta Little Compton,Read more…

Go on, hit play, I see you staring at that triangle in the bottom right hand corner. Push it. I bet your heads starts bobbing within 10 seconds of the video playing. Yeaaaahhhh, feel better already, don’t you? Ballers and Ballettes, It’s been a while- how are things? All is well here. Rather than ramble on, I figured I’d share a few recent excerpts from my ultra private, always scandalous Spikeball diary…don’t tell anyone. JuneRead more…
