Visiting American needs incredibly cool tennis partner.

Hey Brighton folks 👋

I'm visiting your lovely seaside town from 05/25 to 05/30 (the correct way to write month and date).

I'm looking for some casual tennis partners while I'm in town. I'm a decent player, 3.5-4.0 or so. Not a "I played in uni and serve at 180 mph" but decent... more like "I will absolutely run for every ball and apologize way too much when I win a point" decent.

Very fun to play against, I'm told. 🤷 (nobody has ever said that)

The catch: I also need to borrow a racquet.

The airline I flew in on has apparently decided that a tennis racket is not a "personal item" but rather a luxury good requiring its own mortgage and seat assignment. So I am leaving mine at home like a coward. I promise I will treat your racquet with the love and respect it deserves, return it unscathed, and probably buy you a beer as payment (realistic outcome).

I'm happy to play anywhere... public courts, private clubs, a car park if you're into that kind of thing (jokes). Just looking for some good rallies and an excuse to not sit on the beach looking pale next to people who are also pale but somehow significantly more confident about it.

Drop a comment or DM me if you're around and want to hit some tennis balls between the 25th and 30th.

Cheers.

(I've been practicing saying that).

Tennis partner to hit with!

Hey friends!

I’m visiting Brighton May 1st - 5th and I would love to get some tennis in.

Any 3.0 - 4.5 players want to play? Down for a competitive or casual session.

Anyone wanna play Magic the Gathering at a brewery?

So like, 4 years ago... my friend group and I would go to bars and breweries and play our favorite card game. Our group kept growing and growing... and eventually we decided to make it a full-on thing. Now, twice a year, we do the Draft League.

It's happening this summer and I want to invite you if you're interested.

Boise Magic Draft League is back this July. It's 8 weeks, at 8 breweries, one chaotic good time 🍺

Every Tuesday July 7 through August 25, we're drafting MTG sets at a different downtown Boise brewery each week.

Just gotta register ahead of time. It's cheaper if you sign up before June.

Registration link:

Final Fantasy, Modern Horizons 3, a few made-up mixer drafts, a full Chaos draft to close it out... all sorts of different types of magic experiences.

Casual players, competitive players - all welcome. You'll learn how to play/draft or you can show us how impressive your skills are. Either way, you'll dig it.

Doors at 6pm, drafts start 6:30 sharp. Show up early, grab a beer, make some friends, lose to someone's bomb rare. The usual.

See you at Payette on July 7 ✌️

PSA: Boise has a HUGE Magic: The Gathering scene

Figured I'd throw this out here for the nerds and curious people alike. The Boise Magic Draft League is back for Summer 2026 and we're going 8 weeks this year (up from 6 last year)

Here's the gist:
Every Tuesday night from July through August, 50 players draft Magic: The Gathering at a different brewery around the city. It's a pub crawl, but for magic. Sweet, right?

You show up, draft some cards, play some games, drink some beer if you want. It's a good time.

What makes it worth your Tuesday nights:

  • 8 different venues, 8 different draft formats
  • Completely beginner-friendly. Seriously. First draft? You'll be fine.
  • Cash prizes + a playmat for the top finishers
  • Drafts run ~3-4 hours, doors at 6pm, first pack opens at 6:30 sharp
  • Everyone gets a prize every night, its even cheaper than playing at most LGS's

This thing only happens twice a year and it sells out. If you've ever been even a little curious about drafting or just want more of a magic outlet, this is probably the lowest-pressure way to try it in the city.
