here is a new blog from another fan in the lowcountry and his take on the two best teams in the US and the Coffee Pot Cup. A Common Goal let him know what you think
Yes it is the return of the KING kids! Bringing some of the usuals and some of the new guard. Hey Mikey? We still have some of our flag poles stashed away? Looking forward, once again, to returning to see everyone. I promise to behave this time. Does anyone know if the 3 Lions will be open for the Tues./Wed. UEFA Champions League matches? I want to check out the other Madra pub too. Let the newbies shop/sightsee. Any golfers making the trip, please feel free to contact me as I plan on playing at leats 5 rounds+ and I am familiar with most of the courses in/around the Charleston area. But get back to me within the next couple of weeks as I will be booking tee-times shortly. Nothing before 10 am and nothing after 12 pm. I will be down from Friday night (4th) til Mon. (14th). KD.
Anyone visiting from Chicago, DC or Charleston (unlikely) up for a round of golf while in Chucktown? I will be assembling a team that would make the 'Catman' shudder. See ya on the links KD.
as alwasy we are locking up our daughters and barricading the doors! LOL looking forward to seeing you. I know of a couple from Minnesota making the trip down that are thinking of a round but not 100% sure of their schedule. I doubt the 3 Lions will be open for the champions league but I know both the Madra's will show it. Plus there is a place downtown that has started showing matches regularly. O'Malley's on King St. (the one with all the shops) And I still have a large assortment of PVC poles at the stadium. I know I used a couple but the bigs ones are their for sure as are most the 5-6 foot size ones Heading to the Baud today to watch the USL Combine! home sweet home
Man O man, that opening Saturday is gonna rock. But whatever debauchery takes place after the coffee pot match? I will still make it to the Madra Sunday morning for the 'pool/ManU game. Shirts off!!! KD.
Speaking of various festivities going on in Chucktown during the tournament ... I notice that Fat Tuesday happens to fall during that week ..... so, what's going on in the greater Charleston area for Mardi Gras?!?!? Any good parades? I remember one in Summerville one year as a warm-up for the Azalea Festival parade, but I only remember it happening once.
I did a quick look around and all I can find is a couple Mardi Gras Balls Like you said there used to be a couple parades but cant find any info on them of this year. I know the first weekend is the Food and Wine fest in town. lots of Celebraty chefs and they are doing a casting call for "Top Chef"
ohhh that is awesome!! my girl will be very interested in the food/wine tasting thing... got any more info on that?
http://www.charlestonwineandfood.com/ different events you can buy tickets to, some are pretty pricey also a list of the various chefs/personalities that will be there.
I was kind of sticker shocked with the price to some of the events but when I watch one of the videos on the site about what is included in the event ticket It almost sounds like a steal! Samples from more than 80 chefs and dozens of wine makers. Thats almost like a full buffet with and open bar!
Here is a morning shot of the Blackbaud pitch from Wednesday morning, apparently the 9v9 league hasn't torn i tup too bad. http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.ph...105822546099051.11602.100000139196768&theater
less than a week now fellas!!! I will be arriving friday afternoon to Folly Beach... is there anything planned for Friday night? If you guys have any get-togethers planned throughout the week please let me know!
Our group get's in around 9 Friday night and will probably head to Coco Joes for some drinks. Keep an eye here for updates kiddo. KD.
I dont think most people are getting to Charleston until late. King Dave mention coconut joes on IoP but I might have to save my energy to keep up with Dave.... Ill let you know if we get something definative together. Should be a great time
Don't know about y'all but I am stoked on the opportunity to see Charlie Davies play for DCU. I was at the qualifier in DC the day after his accident, will be a rush to see him suited and booted again. Any buzz about the chances of him getting minutes? Will keep an eye out for the rowdies at the matches -- maybe I'll run into some of you cats (I'll be rockin' the CD9 USA for sure). If anyone makes it downtown, I own Bubba Slye's Deli on King and Warren and would be happy to extend a Big Soccer discount. Ask for Jared. Looking forward to the Cup!
Jared, you need to keep a lookout for those guys walking around downtown next week. With 3 teams in town, you usually see them around the King street area.
I would think Charlie will get some minutes. Im sure Olsen will want to see what he has sometime during the week. This whole week should be a blast. Feel free to come by the tailgate Saturday. Hell bring some business cards to hand out! I love supporting guys how support the game and I know tons of people that feel the same. Ill be the one manning the grill and in E10 during the games. Looking to start around 1:30 or so for the tailgate withfirst bach of the lowcountry boil should be off at about 3pm. Ill have to stop in you place next time im down that way! Ill Pass the word on to the DC, Chicago and Toronto guys that are coming down for the week.
i got in at 630am... took a nice nap and now im hanging out in folly beach! might be looking for something to do tonight fellas
