Today I became the organizer for this group. I am pretty new to guitar, having started playing in September, 2010. That just means I have so much more to learn. I'd also like to start playing with/around other people, and hear other people play as well. I play acoustic guitar. I never attended a meetup with this group, so you probably don't know me unless you have seen me in another one. I live in Multnomah VIllage, and my house is large enough that we can gather here from time to time. I'd gues …

What? Really underwater hockey? Underwater Hockey is a fast-paced, fun-filled sport for athletes of all ages. Unlike its on-ice counterpart, underwater hockey is a non-contact sport.

Underwater hockey is played in a swimming pool by two teams of up to 10 players each (6 active and 4 substitutes). The puck is made of lead, with a brightly-c …
