Tuesday night the parking lot south of On the Boards was filled with badminton courts filled with badminton teams from Seattle's arts community.

Bystanders were enjoying Mirror Pond Ale for $1 and low-priced street food, and things were packed. "Awesome"'s John Osebold was rubbing elbows with NWFF director Lyall Bush and the Stranger's Bethany Jean Clement. The tailgate ambiance is OtB's way of saying welcome to the 2009-2010 season.

The final tournament was held on the mainstage. It was vaguely surreal watching something like sports played on the OtB stage. A man sitting a few seats away rang handbells and shouted cheers about regional theatre. Finally Pottery NW emerged triumphant over the Seattle Rep team, and the shuttlecocks were gathered up until next year.
