I was able to meet the Bond Girls for a quick bite and a tour of the St. Paul Curling Club. I tried to get ice time for them, but the juniors were curling at SPCC and the Biff isn't open that early on Saturdays. (I have a feeling that if the Biff was open on Saturday mornings a bunch of teams would love to use that time for practice and would probably even pay for it.) Anyway, here are a few thoughts.
First, the Bond Girls are all very cool and you should hang out with them if you get a chance. Two of them work in film/tv and I think that if they win the upcoming Curling Club Nationals, that'd be a cool movie. Ragtag group of girls from California (with a cameo from Katy Perry) beat the big bad teams from the midwest. Like a female version of Men With Brooms
, but you know, well written. (It's worth it to watch that movie just for how preposterous all the curling stuff is.)
They really liked the curling club. (Who wouldn't?) And they took a picture of the upstairs men's bathroom, which if you don't know actually has a window above the sink that looks out onto the ice.
I had never been to SPCC when the juniors are there and the youngest junior curlers are very cute. The first thing they do is slide on the ice head first, which looked really fun. They also practiced sweeping and for many of them, the broom was much taller than the kid. Lead and Second recently had babies and I'll be a father soon too and hopefully someday, we'll all be there with our kids.
Anyway, good luck to the Bond Girls and it looks like they'll be streaming their games so check it out:
