Welcome - Hello - Hey There!
This is the new, NEW home of the Humboldt Hibachi Beach Bocce & Croquet Club (HHBBCC). This club was established in 1988 at Humboldt State University and died a boring death in 1991. The club's mission is to practice alternative forms of government while enjoying lawn games on typically non-lawn surfaces. If you're new to the HHBBCC - good luck trying to figure anything meaningful out. If you're not new, you know nothing meaningful is going to be here anyway. Shop on. The club currently sucks about as much as this web site, so if you're one of those inactive members out there and feel guilty for being part of such a sucky club - contact me. I could use some help.

What's New
I got some software to help me organize this web page a little better. Give me stories and photos if you want to improve it some more.
I chose a time and place for the Decennial Tourney. It's October 10, 11 & 12 in SAN DIEGO. Get a hold of me, Greg Gearheart, for details.
I have sold out to capitalism (did I really have a choice?) Buy a book from this page and the HHBBCC might make some money. I think we've earned $2.77 already.
BUY A BOOK!
All of the following books are highly recommended, but if you buy some other book you're one your own. The club gets revenues whether you buy the books listed below or not, just be sure to access amazon.com through one of the links below.

What's Up with the South African Flag?
The South African Flag at the top of these pages symbolizes the rapid global change that has occurred since the creation of this club. When this club began, the Dreaded South African Grip was probably the worst thing a member of the club could do. It represented all that was bad in the world. Now the South African Grip is welcome and actually works quite well in windy conditions. South Africa, with its reconcilliation efforts, is a guiding light for all of us.
