He's also going to sign that kid in the hoodie who asked about open tryouts. That kid's name? Fernando Torres.
It sounds like it went like this. Nowak: "I'm not hungry. I stopped off at McDonalds this afternoon." Fan: "Hear that? We're signing Ronaldo." Nowak: "Do they have good ribs here?" Fan: "Fantastic! We're signing Ribery." Nowak: "I don't want to spill food on my tie and get it messy." Fan: "Great! We're signing Messi." Nowak: "The US played like shit tonight." Fan: "Wow. We're signing Kaka".
Does anybody know whether the photos taken of everyone meeting Nowak during the autograph line are going to be made available? Was the photographer there from the Union, the SoB, or a guy who wanted 150 shots of people shaking hands with the coach? Thanks to everyone for organizing a great event!
There were a couple of photog's there. One is an SoB whose excellent work (and that of many others) normally appears here - http://www.flickr.com/groups/sonsofben
Re: How was the Nowak event at Tir Na Nog? Great quote by Jasner on MLSnet... "The Sons of Ben are one of the reasons I'm here," Nowak said. "I enjoy this. I know they're a big part of what we do."
A boat load of photos went up in the past 12 hours. use this link & tell your non-Big Soccer friends to check out the link for the photos. http://www.flickr.com/groups/sonsofben/pool/ Feel free to comment on them & better yet identify yourself and your friends. As we have grown, we recognize familar faces right away but the correct names usually get forgotten after a few pints. This is a nice problem to have as we continue to grow as a supporters group. Major props to Dan, better known on these boards as Dangit77, for his tireless work with tremendous photos on the night and the Peter Nowak autograph line in particular. Dan must be repped for this great work with the pictures. .
Re: How was the Nowak event at Tir Na Nog? Which part of the shore? I`m in Cumberland County and I made sure I was there!
Damn I check these pix cuz my work blocked this site. I'll have to check it when I get home. I know I took a pic for whoever was taking pics of everyone, but I don't know where those ended up. I do have my autographed Nowak pic on the fridge held on with sob magnets.
