Sounds good. How about Sunday in the late morning? I don't do well in the heat so if we could play around 10-10:30 a.m. that would be great since it's going to be hot this weekend. Does that work for you?

May 14, 2008
Ashley

Sounds good. Do you want to meet at the courts near the soccer and baseball fields?

May 15, 2008
Ashley

Sure maybe next weekend if the weather is good.

I enjoyed playing tennis with you too. Frisbee was a nice change of pace. I'm glad I didn't strike anyone with it. I nearly tagged one person last time I tried playing frisbee if it weren't for his cat-like reflexes. I'll give you a call on thursday. I have work until 7:30 so I can play around 8pm.

Hi, I'd be up for some tennis in Wallingford! I work weekdays until 5, so weekday mornings and afternoons won't work though. Are you free any evenings or weekends?

Thanks for joining the GLBT Tennis Group. Right now its just you and me, but I noticed there wasn't another group like it so hopefully other GLBT tennis players will join us soon....

I hope to move to Seattle some day, so hopefully then we can play some tennis together.

Until then, please feel free to invite others to join our group.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Sloan,

I'm playing with a few people on Thurs around 4pm. We might have enough people for doubles if you show up. Care to join? Otherwise I'll see you around 5:30pm on Thursday as we have scheduled.

I'm trying to change my schedule this week to have Tuesday off so I can take a rock climbing class. If I'm able to change my schedule I may work on Thursday evening. I would then be free to play Tuesday afternoon from 3-4:30 or 7:30-9:00. I'll let you know as soon as I figure out my schedule, mostly this weekend. Enjoy th rest of your week and thanks again for the yummy fruits today. I'll bring some next time.

Hi Sloan,
Thanks for contacting me. Would love to play. Are you free to hit next week Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday? Say around 10/10:30 am? I'm open to playing at either the Wallingford, Woodland Park, or Greenlake courts. Looking forward to meeting you and playing tennis.

Aug 6, 2008
Gwen

Sorry I wasn't able to play on Wednesday. But Monday morning works if you're still up for it.

Aug 8, 2008
Gwen

Perfect. Are the courts on the Wallingford playground, on Wallingford Ave, between N 42nd and N 43rd ? Or are there other courts in Wallingford I don't know about?

Aug 8, 2008
Gwen

Monday at 10:30 am it is. See you then!

Aug 8, 2008
Gwen

It was nice to meet you, too. Thanks for hitting with me!
Do you mean this Wednesday, the 13th, or next Wednesday, the 20th?

Aug 11, 2008
Meg

Yes, I am home and I am happy you are all over it! So...busy busy at work. I think best if we try for Saturday or Sunday. Anytime works. I am in the Central District but willing to meet up anywhere. Not even sure what half way would be. What is best for you? One thing I love about tennis is there are courts everywhere!

Hey Sloan.

I'm sort of new to tennis and want to practice as much as possible. My schedule is fairly flexible and I can meet up anywhere anywhere near and around the seattle area. Lemme know if you can play.

Aug 16, 2008

Aug 18, 2008

Hey, hope you had a great weekend. I am out of town this weekend. We will paly tennis! When is the question.... I will contact you next week so we can set a date!

The ground seems to be dry and the sky seems to mist the air. It could change as I found out yesterday rapidly but I'm willing to take the risk. Afterbeing soak yesterday, I decided if it pours that hard again I will run in Greenlake so I really couldn't lose unless it just rains enough to wet the ground without the duration I need to enjoy running through a summer shower. I hope you're up for it.

Hi Sloan,
Would you be interested in playing this Sunday the 5th if it's dry?

Hi Sloan..

You can email me at cmarquette1@yahoo.com. Thanks for your note. Are you interested in playing at the Seattle Tennis Center now that it's getting pretty nippy out? Cynthia

Hey Sloan sorry about that too. My mind was in a haze that day. I really wanted to play also. It was a good night for it too.

Jan 10, 2009

I work M-F, 9-5, but almost any other time works. I can get to the courts at Wallingford Playground pretty easily if that works for you.

Feb 18, 2009
Megan Hill

I actually can't play at all this week, I've already got a couple of tennis matches lined up and a few other random things. I know it is still getting dark really early...let's keep in touch though, because I would definitely love to play soon.

Feb 18, 2009
Megan Hill

Maybe next weekend in Wallingford if it's not raining?

Hey Sloan,

I'd love to play with you.... only I'm heading to Canada for 2 weeks but certainly when I get back I'll be up for it.

I'll post again when I return.

Cheers

Hi Sloan, I wanted to give you my number in case you wanted to play sometime when you were free. The weather doesn't look too good for the next few days but I am looking to play if you are free and the weather holds out. Give me a call sometime and we can set something up (even if it's in 2-3 weeks!) HAHA
See ya,
Andrew

Hi Sloan,

I work at the University of Washington, and am looking for a mixed doubles partner this Saturday for a University of Washington BBQ mixed doubles tournament hosted by the Husky Tennis Club. The Husky Tennis Club is mostly UW students and some staff who like to play tennis. The tournament will be on May 9th, from 10am till about 3pm or 4pm (when the final will be played). Would you be interested in being my partner? Please let me know asap. Thanks! Niko
