Title: An onslaught of Goblins - 2011
Post by: DesertPike on January 01, 2011, 12:50:36 PM
Riding dinosaurs, carving our names in the moon, time travel. These are 3 things that are highly unlikely but never impossible for "The Goblin Empire"; That dragon boat team that has rocked your face off for the last 2 years is at it again.

1. We are in Victoria
2. We will practice Tuesdays @5:30 and Thursdays @7:00
3. We will be doing at least 5 festivals next season, we plan on doing a further away one this year as well.
4. We need people with commitment, awesomeness and ready to partake in a great time.

Any questions? Give us a shout [email protected], we would love to have you on board. If you cant, join our facebook group and keep up with our antics anyways.

See you on the water, or at least in the beer garden.

"Obviously we have some goblins in a dragonboat. We be climbing in your boats and snatchin new paddlers up. We're looking for you, we gon find you. So you can run and tell that homeboy."

** Antoine Dodson is not part of the goblin empire, but if he was Im sure this is what he would say.

I don't think any of those weapons are IDBF approved.

Im sure I read something about the allowance of RETRACTABLE claws, swords are allowed but only if they are longer then the user is tall,  FICTIONAL hand guns, brass knuckels are allowed as well but only if they "look cool". Spider webbing is allowed too but needs to be made of natural materials and not contain any performance enhancing drugs.

At least something along these lines was on my copy, parts were written in crayon and others needed a special marker and some lemon juice to see with the human eye, but it was there none the less.

AKA. CHICKEN RUN THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE AWESOME

i've checked out your site - my awesomeness has exploded from such greatness...I feel like hitting something... water ... with a paddle, cleanly like a retractable claw or something  :shock:

Love the posters and the ads. Not for me--wrong city-wrong team but neat posters and great attitude
