Fellow Streetplay readers,

The school bell may have just sounded, but that doesn't mean an
end to outdoor fun.  As the days grow shorter, take a look at
the latest Streetplay syllabus.


Streetplay at the Smithsonian
-----------------------------
As many of you know, we were down in Washington DC this summer
teaching people all about New York City folk culture.  Over a
million came to the festival, and every last person played
stoopball... well, at least a lot of them.  We have the skinned
knees and the pictures to prove it.

New section: Philly focus
-------------------------
Few places can match Philly when it comes to its history of
street games.  We've started a new section to explore and
document this rich tradition. Take a look at what we've got, and
help us add to it.

Contest: Back to School
-----------------------

Remember the weight of the new books, the sickly sweet smell of
crayons, and the anticipation of meeting your new teacher?  Tell
us your best back to school story, win $50.

Handball: The USHA 2001 One-wall Nationals
------------------------------------------
When you see a bunch of intense people leaping around Coney
Island handball courts in August, it's a safe guess that
playoffs are in session.  Read the coverage, and don't miss the
photo essays.

Stickball: We've got all the action
-----------------------------------
Read the latest about the stickball scene, from a birds' eye
view of the Daily News Classic to this year's Stickball Hall of
Fame inductees.

Streetplay store: shiny and new
-------------------------------
Whether it's Nok Hockey or Lite Brite, we know you'll find a
childhood favorite.  And don't miss Bowling Champ Barbie.

OK, that's enough for one e-mail.  Class is dismissed: get out
there and play!
