I owe you one. My apologies. I was too busy dealing with an asshole.. I mean fellow Crew fan that did not understand that Nordecke is general admission.
On our way out on 77 north, just an exit or two from the stadium, we saw a totaled minivan with a STC decal. I hope everyone is okay.
Me and Mrs KG.... Was that you with the "Soccer Blogger" hat--figured it was too young to be Bill....
No worries! I waved you off. Plus, I was too busy with kiddos. I loved the reaction when I yelled that you owed me a beer. Madeline said, "I thought she knew you." Good times!
Frankie was awesome after the game. Saw me stumbling out of the stadium with the kids, ran up to give us fives, chatted for a bit, and took a photo with the runts. Good on him.
