Friday night at the Home Depot Center was definitely one of the most interesting soccer games I have been to. As you all know, there were two blackouts that caused serious delays for the game. Its’ not something you see a whole lot in professional sports, although I heard some people in the stadium talking about how it happens at baseball games sometimes. I will tell you this, we saw quite a few people in suits running around frantically in the dark.

All in all it was a great night for soccer. The conditions were perfect, the crowd was festive and we were able to catch up with a lot of friends as well as be present for a memorable night in MLS history.

Hit the jump for some more pics from the night.

Ok, so there is this movie coming out soon, called Fix, by Tao Ruspoli that I am eagerly anticipating and I got a facebook update about a lil contest they are doing. Basically its: come up with a video that describes your Fix, submit it, and maybe you win some cool stuff.

Dope contest and I love the submission by this girl… I have a feeling this youtube will be getting some serious run in the next couple of weeks. Can you imagine she did this by herself… she looks like she is 12 years old!!

Our boy kb recently got married, and for the honeymoon they decided some time on the beach in St. Lucia was  mandatory. He was able to snap a few photos of some locals playing soccer St. Lucia style. Not a bad location for a pick up game. And not a bad backdrop for a picture of the very first BP fitted we ever did. Hit the jump for some pictures.

Everything Old Is New Again

I’m back in my old stomping grounds for the next nine months or so, and it’s amazing how different / the same, that things look. I haven’t spent much more than a Sunday night dinner in these parts for years, so it’s been an interesting ride. A lot of things have changed, and a lot are still the same. The thing that has changed the most is my own outlook…even if the things I’m looking at haven’t changed in the last 10 years. And that is a pretty cool thing…
