Who would have thought that Petanque would make it to American cable TV, but it's true. At the Bastille Day Tournament in Brooklyn this year (2007) a few guys from SNY came down to film and see what all the fuss was about for their new show, "Street Games". Many of you (if you were there) may remember the cameras rolling and the interviewing that went on. Even Bruce and I were interviewed whilst waiting for the games to start. So there is a chance that we'll be on it in all our Brooklyn Boule splendor.... But never the less it'll be interesting to see how "they" portray our beloved sport. If you subscribe to New York cable/satellite, (which unfortunately I don't) you can watch the 15 minute slot that Petanque in Brooklyn has finally got. Or ( as I will do) you can watch it online on their web site: "Street Games"
I will post it, as soon as I find it, for all to see......... and lets hope that there is more publicity and professional footage of Petanque in America.
