"and we'll really live it up"

I know most of you don't know me from anyone else who stands and cheers with you but I want to make this little announcement here.

The Crew match will more than likely be my last home game this season. It appears that I will be back on the East Coast full time from here on out.

I have been fortunate to make all but two home matches all year and they have been mostly wonderful experiences. The first few seasons that the Wizards existed I made it to 80% of the home games and enjoyed myself doing as most everyone does- I.E. sitting on my hands "watching" the game. When I moved away from KC in 2002 I still followed my Wizards online the best I could but I never really missed being able to be there in person, that has all changed.

The other night I was almost panicked by the thought of not having this one amazing escape from reality- that of clapping until my hands hurt with other Wizards' fans. Hell all this summer I was working for the next match, waiting to get those nervous butterflies before the kickoff, anticipating a well struck shot that would send everyone around me into a frenzy. I have found myself sitting at my desk while at work chanting under my breath "We're all part of Onalfo's Army".

I just want to say thank you, to the Wizards FO, the players, but most of all to the Cauldron and the wonderful members that have made this a summer I can not forget.

I am going to NY for the RBNY-Wizards match in October, not sure I will do any of you proud but I promise to cheer on our team.

When we make the next cup, I will be there and hell or high water when we get a stadium I will be back for the first match. Thank You.
