RECESS

Jul 10, 2009 7:50 pm

There are plen­ty in the cre­ative are­na who scoff at the idea of sport, liken­ing ath­let­ic com­pe­ti­tion as enter­tain­ment for unciv­i­lized mon­grels. How­ev­er, when the chasm between brute force and artis­tic inspi­ra­tion is bridged, some won­der­ful things can occur. The Lawn Series from Recess is a refresh­ing and orig­i­nal hap­pen­ing aim­ing to elim­i­nate the gap between end­less­ly inven­tive arti­sans and the are­na of ath­let­ics. For three glo­ri­ous days dur­ing the swel­ter­ing NYC sum­mer on Governor’s Island, play­ful pas­times will over­take the cre­ative­ly inclined as they attempt to best one anoth­er in exhil­a­rat­ing events such as bad­minton, table ten­nis, and boc­ce. In addi­tion to the flow­ing of the com­pet­i­tive juices, each event will be met with some pret­ty kick ass spon­sors as the likes of Tre­torn and Puma will be putting their stamp on the fes­tiv­i­ties while Bio­mega and Kro­nan will be on hand to offer bike test rides. Count us in and bring it on. The first day of com­pe­ti­tion is June 20^th. We’ll see you there…unless you’re afraid of defeat.
