Oh yeah… when this was first planned out we knew that this is going to be a fun trip, some of the BP and TOW crew shot out to NY for the Grassroot Soccer Charity Event, some well deserved down time, a little bit of marketing and t-shirt slangin’ and all in all there definitely was a happy ending!

Ok, so there are a lot of pictures that I wanted to throw up here so I’m just dropping them on you after the jump with commentary… enjoy the ride.. (more…)

Seacaucus, Here I Come

Filed under: Los Angeles, New York

NY

It started with a breeze, going through LAX’s check-in and security within 10 minutes (yes, 10 minutes), then running into Claudio Suarez and Ante Razov getting off the plane from their trip to Beantown.

Then I got into to Dallas and everything started to go to hell in a hand basket as Hurricane Ike has started to screw up air travel and ended up at the Crown Plaza in Seacaucus at 12.30am….. Thankfully the nicest woman in the world gave me a free Corona at the bar!

According to the NY Post’s Gimme Shelter, Sir Alex Ferguson has picked himself up a penthouse at Manhattan House.  Who knows the reason why he decided to buy a penthouse in NY, but I gotta say that from the pictures of the building on the Manhattan House site, I am liking Sir Alex’s steez.
