I saw that article Ben, and I live just a few minutes walk from the ferry. My wife and I try to go to Governor's Island once each summer. Will you be playing there again?

Beyond cool, Ben!! If you guys are playing on Governor's again, I'll definitely try and stop by too.

That's very cool.

Makes me think of the classic Conan bit:

Yeah, thats a funny segment. That was filmed at Old Bethpage, Long Island. We play there several times a year. Conan visited the year before I joined the Gothams.

Barry & Greg-

Here is a link to our 2012 schedule -

Any games that say "New York City" should be played at Old Bethpage. If you want a heads up about our upcoming games you can join our meetup group by visiting the following -

As I said earlier, all are welcome to play and/or watch!

Ben,
That is a GREAT photo on the article. Would be a nice team piece to get a high resolution image from the author, crop out the high rise buildings in the back, and then make it a black and white piece.

Ben- this is awesome, thanks for sharing. just to confirm, you said "new york city" should be played at old bethpage, so when are you guys playing on Gov. Isle? maybe you can just simply list here the dates & times of your upcoming Gov. Isle games?

thanks! like Barry mentioned, my wife & i also try to get there once a summer, would be great to time it with one of your games.
