Ping Pong Underground (PPU) started in a dusty garage in north Sydney, Australia. Inspired by the ping pong scene in New York, the “Whaley boys," Puerto, Tim, Luke and Leon, brought Ping Pong Underground to the L.A. (Little Avalon) Bar every Wednesday night from September 23, 2009 to January 27, 2010. Check out their blog, A Whales Life.

Started in 2007, Naked Ping Pong, the brainchild of Jonathan Bricklin, Bill Mack, and Franck Raharinosy, was a weekly ping pong party in a 4,000 square foot Tribeca loft where a wide variety of ping pong freaks and geeks got together to battle it out. Among the professional players who attended the weekly events where Kazuyuki "Kaz" Yokoyama, aka the Kazmanian Devil, and Wally Green. A diverse group of players and spectators enjoyed tasty refreshments while celebrating their love of ping pong in New York's underground ping pong scene.
My incredibly talented friend, Melinda Matson, custom built this beautiful ping pong table for her backyard garden.
