    Anyone going? My woman and I will be there in full Crew gear sitting with our friends from DC. Just wondering if any group outings are planned, tailgates, etc.

    You might want to contact Mike Lapper at the Crew or talk to someone in the Fan Club.

    Who are you kidding, Mike? You and Trevor will be there in your full Detroit Express gear with a large banner reading "Come back Ken Furphy, we need you now". Sorry bro, I had to get my digs in in a public forum.

    Chris, which letter is missing from the word "drg?" Is it a "u?"

    I'd love to go but, for the second consecutive season, one of my in-laws is getting married. I can't believe they don't consult the Crew schedule.

    I'll look for you guys at halftime as Glenda and I will be in the family section with our five-year-old niece. Didn't want to take Gabby into the drunken, profane supporters section at her first match ever. By the way, Brook, you must have read my mind. I had considered wearing a Detroit shirt at the game, although not the Express, instead my Yzerman-autographed jersey from the 2004 Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings!

    Brook, nothing would warm my heart more than to bust out the retro. Unfortunately, my disposable income is tied up in cabinetry, landscaping, and finished basements this summer. I'll be fortunate to make a Crew game much less a road trip to see the Crew in DC.

    Ah, homeownership.

    I'd love to oblige Zak, but cash is tight and my crashpad in DC got transferred to Florida. I'm hoping to have some Crew Brews done, if not in mid May, definately for 29 May.

    No worries. So are you still going to DC? I'm going to be calling about hotels soon. I'm just going to try and find something in the burbs with a bar around it, and then we can take the subway into RFK.

    Try the Arlington, VA area... according to my memory - there's a Holiday Inn near the Ballston Metro station - but if you're going to come by I'd put more emphasis on visiting Summer's Grill & Sports Bar- also in Arlington www.summers-restaurant.com - its a perfect soccer bar -

    I mean it has a freakin' soccer ball on its logo. (and no the logo doesn't have baseballs, hockey sticks, or pointy footballs - just a soccer ball)

    Its 1 block away from the Clarendon Metro station so even with beer goggles you'll be able to wobble your way into the Orange Line heading for RFK.... i'd say book your hotel in relations to 1)Summers and/or 2)The Metro ("that's DC speak" for The Subway)

    Crew fans are the last people to be making fun of the Wings.

    I love that movie... I always laugh at the following line from Yolonda where she's crying and says "I gotta pee"... it's a little touches like that, that makes this movie even better.
