It’s been a LOOOOOOOOONG time since I posted. My day job’s been kicking my a** recently and with the current state of the global economy, I want to make sure that I do my day job well…REALLY well. As a result, I slacked on blogging.
But two things have happened in the past 24 hours that made me want to post. First of all, Oscar at Soccer Blogs responded to a request to get kaidez.com added to the aggregation site. Seeing that I hadn’t posted in over a month, he asked me “are you still writing your blog?” Which is nice way of saying “why the hell should I add you if you’re not blogging?” Good point, Oscar…let me get back on the horse.
But the A-number one reason this: as some may know, there’s one hell of a footie tour coming this summer. Inter Milan, AC Milan, Chelsea and Club America are doing a six-city round-robin tour of the states. One of the stops is on July 24th at the M & T Stadium in Baltimore where two of my teams, AC & Chelsea, are meeting up.
Guess who got tickets?!?!?!?!?!?!
That’s right, guys! The Wife on are a-going. I scored seventh row seats RIGHT BEHIND THE CHELSEA GOAL!!!!
We plan to make a weekend of it. Take Friday off from work and hop a bus down to B-more. Check in to our hotel, it the aquarium at the Inner Harbor and catch an early dinner. And then off to the M & T!!!!! And if it’s anything like the last two touring team games I’ve seen (the Argentinian national Team and Barcelona), I expect to see throngs of American football fans travel from near and far, just to catch a glimpse of this game. I expect a high energy level of excitement as well as a few drunks (okay, a lot of drunks). We also plan to see my family in nearby DC as well the day after.
I plan to cover this game via my Twitter and Facebook page pages. If I get an iPhone before the game (and there’s a slight chance that I will), then I’ll only cover it via Twitter.
The Baltimore Sun has a good story that covers both the Baltimore game as well as a good overview of the tour itself.
