Headed into our Nation’s Capitol on Tuesday for the 2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Championship between D.C. United and the Seattle Sounders FC at RFK Stadium.

More Pics after the Jump…..

The best way to travel in the city… Blue Line Metro, switching to the Red Line and getting off at Union Station.

Open Cup1

The perfect spot for Beans..

Open Cup2

Posted up at The Dubliner with the crew… Even Martin Sheen made an appearance.

Open Cup3

Woke up the next morning and rolled around the corner to the Billy Goat Cafe… This was Tony’s (our Producer) breakfast sandwich… Notice the lack of a plate.

Open Cup4

Walking the plank at RFK… The open door on the lower tier is where our television booth is located.

Open Cup5

Yes, that is a gigantic beam that you need to duck under.  The camera straight ahead was responsible for the midfield stripe.

Open Cup6

And once you do Samba your way underneath the beam, this is the view from the booth.

Open Cup7

Notes sorted, the camera light’s going up for Game Time.

Open Cup8

After the game, the crew headed over to the Old Ebbit Grill next to the White House for an incredible meal.  And since I like to walk off a meal when I’m in a big city, I caught a glimpse of the International Spy Museum on the way back to The Hotel George.

Open Cup9

And off at Sunrise for the Airport with a cab driver that was rivaling Toonces the Cat from Saturday Night Live.
