Derby After-Party Winner

Our last bout against Capital Defenders I got this great idea to create a prize for the after party winner. Twin City Knockers love a good after party and can be found at an after after party a lot of times.

I found a glass beer mug and etched "TCK vs CD" on one side. On the other side etched "After-Party Winner 3.16.13".

The etching is hard to see in the picture but I also took the picture with an iPhone. This turned out to be quite a hit and I believe will be a new tradition for TCK. Who ended up with the mug at the end of the night?! The penalty box queen Dirty D.Ana!

If you like the idea we decided to sell the mugs in our etsy shop here

I wonder if other leagues have fun traditions like this. We just started doing the MVP tags as well and I'm still up in the air whether I like that but other people on the team seem to like it.

Save Money? Yes I think I will

I may get picked on from time to time about ordering items in bulk off the internet...

Here is why I do it and how I save money.

Quilted Northern, Ultra Plush Double Roll = 48 Rolls

Amazon has 48 rolls of Quilted Northern Ultra Plush - Get it for $21.74
1.) Clip coupon for a dollar off under the pic from link above
2.) Sign up for subscribe & save. Put this at 6 months.
3.) No shipping costs with prime or orders over $25

I also have an Amazon Chase Credit Card which gives me 3% back in rewards which means I'll get 65 cents off the next thing I purchase. Total paid ($21.09)

To compare. To get the same thing at walmart with tax would be $25.97.

Total Savings = 19% and saved gas and irritation of going to walmart.

Lots of stuff can be done like this.

Pampers Sensitive Wipes 12x Box With Tub 768 Count (Packaging May Vary)
Bounty Basic Paper Towels 8 Large Rolls Equal 10 Regular Rolls
Herbal Essences Drama Clean Refreshing Shampoo, 23.7-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3)
Glad Tall Kitchen Drawstring Garbage Bags, 13 Gallon, 45 Count

Hamilton Pool in Austin, Tx

D and I decided to take a trip to Austin because Austin always has something to see or do. Mission this trip: Hamilton Pool

We had seen a friend put up pictures of Hamilton Pool on facebook which looked really cool so we wanted to see it. If you are thinking that you need to see it to we have some tips to pass along!

1.) Wear tennis shoes! You can not drive right up to Hamilton Pool.

Chucks are not a good idea here

or here

2.) Go as soon as they open at 9am if going on a weekend

Notice little kid without parents in background ruining the picture and the serenity

2.) FOR PARENTS - Don't let your kids run around like they are on the school playground! It annoys others.

3.) Go when the weather is cold enough that people would be crazy to swim because this place really gets the tourist crowd going starting about 10:30

4.) It is not as big as it seems. I would say about 100 yards across.

This is the whole pool in which people I guess swim.

5.) It is a .8 mile hike which is pretty flat to see the river that the creek leads to which would be cool to have a picnic where you are interrupted by people every 5 minutes.

Pan of the River

Very Pretty and worth seeing but be prepared to deal with people constantly in your way.

SIDE NOTE: I love the new bump app feature to bump pictures to a computer! Made this blog post so much easier. Go to bu.mp and use your smart phone! It's fun.
