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.
While I don't think we ever actually met, it always sucks to lose dedicated members of the Cauldron. Hopefully the East Coast will be kind to you and you will flourish in your new environment. Good luck, and keep bleeding blue!
We'll need all of you east coasters out there together for that game. Congrats on the new path morry. It's been a fun year.
Yes! I know that feeling. And "you're welcome". Have fun on the East Coast. At least you'll get to see intermittent Wizards games live.
