It was a great weekend for curling at the Hollywood Blockbuster Bonspiel. It was hot as heck; so it was a good thing, we found ourselves mostly on the ice. After 5 games, Team Bond Girls found themselves at the top of the C Bracket (Disney Event) beating the Lionel Richies with a dramatic game. Team Bond Girls were down by 1 point going into the 8th end with the hammer, and we were able to pull it off. Of course, it wouldn't be the same without the Hollywood finish. Arena ice tried to play it's dirty tricks with some negative ice and opposite handles, but we were able to adapt and overcome. We had a few tricks under our sleeves as well. We had a special broom for the frosty ice. Little Yoda was keeping watch over our games. Marissa's Red #8 stone (Marissa's sponsored stone) on B sheet was good luck. And on top of it all, we had a few fans that sent positive energy our way. We couldn't have done it without ya'll!
Also, we have to send some love to our boys, Team Zissou (The Bond Boys, as I like to call them), who were the overall champs of the bonspiel. Great job, guys!
We are very proud of Hollywood and putting on such a great spiel despite adversity and of all the Hollywood teams that participated. We've all come such a long way. Also, we love the out-of-town participants who continue to support and keep curling alive in Southern California. We hope that you had fun and come back next year.
It's late so I'm going to end this with: Go Bailey Go!
