The World Series of Beer Pong™ was a HUGE success. Don't ask us, though - ask all the people that were there. Check out our full coverage here. They just called my row to board the plane to head out, but I just wanted to congratulate Nick and Jason of Team France of Ann Arbor, Michigan on taking home the $10,000.
Sign-ups are still open! Want to face the best pong players in the country at the first-ever WSOBP? Pong players are coming from across the country to participate. The shindig starts January 2nd with free-for-all play at The Oasis Resort and Casino just outside Las Vegas. If you think you've got the cup-sinking skills it takes to walk away with the $10,000 grand prize, head over to the sign-up page and we'll see you in Jan!
Also, if you're on Myspace, we got a group going. Check it out, meet people, talk trash, post your pics . . . all that good stuff... For some reason we can't post to our own group right now (wtf?), but we're working on it . . .

So you think you're a good pong player, huh? Oh sure, you like to call your cups. Maybe you even throw an occasional shut-out. Here's the real question, though: are you ready for prime time? Bring it . . .
We're still spending this week finalizing the bigger details, and we are planning to start taking team signups by the week of September 18, 2005. That means you need to spend this week practicing to find the partner that is going to help bring you to the championship game - you'll be up against the best beer pong players in the world at the 2005 World Series of Beer Pong™.
Start spreading the word - this shit is going to get crazy.
Ok guys, the new shirts are all here. That means if you want it, just order it. As usual, I will ship your package by the next business day, with the rare exception of it being 2-3 days after I receive your payment.
By the way, we jut changed the ordering system, so if you guys find any problems with it, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. We have thoroughly tested the new code, but it seems like there is always something we miss. If there is a problem, just let me know so we can fix it immediately.
Next, things are looking real good an event we are currently planning, which will likely be the largest beer pong event EVER. Not only will the event include a huge beer pong tournament, it will also be a huge party, giving you the chance to re-live your college days (if you are already out of college). A lot of pieces still need to come together, but if things keep working out, this event will likely have 120-160 tables of beer pong going on for three (3) straight days. That's 480 to 640 people playing at a single time. We'll be sure to let you guys know more once additional pieces start coming together. In the meantime, keep checking back for the latest details, and keep your calendar free for the week of December 18, 2005.
What's going on? First, here's a shirt update for you. My printer has been really busy lately, which means it is taking him an unusually long time to print up shirts for me. He said that he will likely ship them to me this Friday, August, 26. That means that I should have them by the beginning of next week. If the shirt is on the merchandise section, though, it should be in stock.

It looks like another update on what we have been doing around here is past due. Some of you have expressed concern that the white large shirts are out of stock - you want to know when you can get yours. Well, not only are those out of stock, I am almost out of stock in a lot of stuff. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but I did not restock when I should have because I am moving back to school in a week. It was a real pain getting all my stuff up here for my summer internship - I barely fit everything, and over half of the shit was BPONG merchandise. Accordingly, I decided not to restock until after I get back to school. If I had restocked when I normally would have, I almost certainly would not have been able to fit all of the BPONG stuff in the trucks to get it back home. So, sorry, but don't worry, I'll have everything restocked within a few weeks.
Please also be aware that I will be out of town next week (August 15-20). I won't go into details, but I'm basically taking a little trip to work on something with huge potential for this coming semester - it's related to beer pong, of course. I wouldn't waste my time with anything else. I want to say more, but before I get too many hopes up, let's just leave it at that.
We've also been working on a lot of new developments. For example, we are working on a new game that will have faster response times between shots and a lot more. Again, I can't tell you everything, but know some phat new features are on the way. The site might also get an overhaul in terms of looks, and the features are soon to be upgraded to have more functionality. There should also be some new features coming your way along with some much needed content.
All of this stuff has been in my mind for the past several years, but I'm finally making it all happen. I wanted it all done now so that I could be testing it, but that's not going to happen. Instead, we'll start releasing new stuff when it is ready, and we'll continue to add new ones as we develop them.
In the meantime, keep spreading the word about .:: BPONG.COM ::. and keep playing the game. If you want to get some merchandise before I am gone for that one week, make sure you order this week. Be aware, though, the stock of many items is dangerously low, so there is a chance the guy just before you might have taken the last of the things you wanted. If that happens, I can hold your order until the new stuff comes in or refund your money, if you would prefer.
As always, thanks for your continued support!
I'll write more tonight, but TONIGHT, be sure to check out "Binge Drinking Mom" - the new Morgan Spurlock series on FX. Basically, tonight's episode concerns a hottie mom concerned about her hottie daughter’s alcohol consumption now that she is in college agrees to binge drink for 30 Days to try to get through to her. (Can I sign up for this deal somewhere (as the drinker)?) In a booze-drenched Freaky Friday scenario, the daughter will see her mother drunk, vomiting, and hung over as she makes decisions about the tough social choices she faces every day in college. The mother, on the other hand, will become more aware of the enormous social and cultural pressure to drink that faces kids every day of their college careers.
Check it out - FX - 10:00 PM PST/EST.
I'm finally getting settled in for the summer. There for a while, it was looking like I may be able to ship only once per week. After a little investigating, however, it looks like I will now be able to return to shipping daily. As long as I receive your orders before I go to sleep, they will ship out first thing in the morning before I head into work.
I also wanted to apologize for running out of large black shirts. I did not want to reorder because I would have had to bring whatever I ordered with me when moving to Chicago for the summer. I already had too much other BPONG shit, so I decided to not reorder until I got here. Now that I am here, though, more shirts have been ordered. As soon as my printer has time to run my job, all shirts will be back in stock.
