Broomstackers is back with a new episode recorded after a weekend at The Big Spiel, the 96-team curling extravaganza organized by the Twin Cities Curling Association. The event, spread out between four clubs in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, proved to be a great time for Ed and the rest of his team: both on and off the ice. From games against national champions to sliding down Minehaha Falls, there was no shortage of fun to be found on this trip -- and we're more than happy to tell you all about it over drinks. This week's episode features host Ed Scimia along with Kelsey Schuder, Larry Bocchiere, and Allison Goldberg. SHOW NOTES You can pick up your own copy of Telestrations at Amazon! According to the St. Paul Curling Club website, the club boasts more than 1,200 members. After further review, the legality of taking a curling broom in a plane cabin as a carry-on is uncertain. Articles from 2013 show that hockey sticks were being allowed; however, the TSA website currently lists them as prohibited. Allison (and other curlers we know) have yet to run into problems attempting to board with their brooms, but it may be best to check them if you're not sure. Some photos mentioned during the episode:
