Celebrity Ping Pong hits Williamsburg

The first of the summer season of tournaments took place last night at Cornichon in Williamsburg. On quite a steamy night, Kaz eventually beat James in a close competition. We had two tables, one indoors and one outdoors. If there is anything better than playing outdoors while having a few beers and catching up with some old friends I'd like to know what that is.

More next month.

Issue 2 off to a great start - Judah Friedlander

Just before the SPiN party on Monday, more pics here, I interviewed Judah Friedlander for Issue 2. Judah is ranked 1203, but as he said, that's probably a typo! He's a great player, a great ambassador for the game and a great laugh. I'll save the best stories for the magazine. Don't forget the CPP party in Williamsburg on Thursday.

Party / Thursday / Do it

Just to quickly let you know about the first of a series of summer tournaments and parties starting this thursday. We will have two tables at the supernice Cornichon cafe / bar at 251 Grand St in Williamsburg. More details soon.

Pringles getting in on the action

One of the latest Pringles ads is based on Ping Pong. I think it's OK, feels a bit fake to me, like it was made just to enter awards shows - the tiny copy is a dead giveway for that kind of thing. But we shall see.

Still, it's a good sign that brands continue to think their target markets will be turned on by Ping Pong related themes. Thanks to Dylan for the spot.
