Alright, kids, if you're headed to Texas for South by Southwest Interactive, you'd damn well better come to KICK!

KICK! is the annual kickball game on Saturday morning that's used as an unofficial, unsanctioned, and unpretentious introduction to the whole weekend. Everyone's welcome, nobody gets picked last, and attending is free. If you're not busy Saturday morning, please come out and join us, and whether you're going to be there or not, it'd be a great help if you can promote the game by linking to the KICK! page.

Kickball, believe it or not, is a lot like baseball, but played with your feet. It's separate from American football or from soccer, which is what we call international football. It's also unrelated to handball, which is totally different, and is played with something usually referred to as a "dodgeball", named after the sport for which it was created.

Got it?

AHHHH With you now.

Well with you as in "it's not football"... sounds interesting either way.

P.S. Does it involve drinking? It sounds like it should involve drinking.

Ha! Drinking at 10am in the park near the convention center? Now that would be a Music thing to do...
