This is an ALL WOMEN’S flag football league, so no having to worry about those ball hoggin’ boys and silly co-ed rules – it’s just all girls, all fun, all the time!

Here’s the scoop:  Games are every Monday night, anywhere from 6:30 pm to 9 pm, at the fields on Robert E. Lee off Barton Springs Rd. (right across the street from Zilker Park).  There are usually 4 – 5 teams in the league and the season lasts for 10 weeks (or 8 games)!

The games are fun and light-hearted, but there is definitely still some great competition out there!  So, ladies gather your friends – more importantly, step up and be a CAPTAIN and get a team together.  It’s easy, just find 8 people or more, get them to hand over about $40 a piece and register online right here: http://www.capitalcityflagfootball.com/

No practicing necessary, just show up on Monday nights with your coolers and folding chairs and get ready for a great time.  If you don’t necessarily have a group of friends in mind to play with, just use LezGoAustin’s Facebook page to put yourself out there as a free agent and have some team pick you up!  There should be plenty of room for everyone to play!

Again, registration starts today, August 2nd and goes ONLY until August 6th – so you have to HURRY!  Go to http://www.capitalcityflagfootball.com/ print fill out the registration form and get your team IN!

Careening from his sexy misadventures while performing in 45 States, to street protests for Marriage Equality, to the electoral assaults on gay folks all over the country, to a grade-school flag monitor, to choking on cheap meat caught in his 10-year old gay boy’s throat, LAY OF THE LAND friskily gets at that feeling of gay folks being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu! LAY OF THE LAND is a “lay” in all kinds of ways: a sex-assignation, a queer citizenship map, and a narrative ballad with a recurrent refrain! (Miller’s favorite way-down-the-list definition for “lay”!).
