    This Wednesday (tomorrow) is the SuperLiga matchup between DC and LA. The game is at 10pm on Telefutura, and I think Piccola's at Main and Harrison might be the only place that gets this channel. I don't know how late they stay open though, so I don't know how feasible that option is. The game can also be watch in a live feed on www.superliga2007.com, which is how I've watch the past games. I have to work until 11, so I may bring my laptop up to Legend to watch the first half if anyone wants to join, haha.

    Saturday, we play the Crew away. It's a 7:30pm game on Comcast. Home Team Grill wasn't too bad when we were there a few weeks ago, but I don't know what it will be like on a Saturday night. How about Penny Lane for this one? Hopefully we can either get that downstairs corner or the upstairs bar corner. I'm not 100% sure if I'll be there for this one, but I'm going to try (it's Best Friends Day at Haddad's, haha).

    SO, to recap:

    Wednesday night - 10pm, either Piccola's or watch it on your own computer.
    Saturday night - 7:30pm, Penny Lane

    Also, don't forget next Wednesday, the 22nd, we have NY at home at 7:30 (tailgate starts at 3:30). I'd like to head out of Richmond by 1:30 at the latest and I will be coming back that night, if we want to start working on any carpool stuff.

    Richard, let me know what kind of beer you want and when I can get it to you. :)

    Piccola's is open until midnight so they should be able to show the whole game. at the very least let some "loyal customers" stay a few minutes after close to finish up the game, which i'm sure they wouldn't mind if people are spending money and drinking beer. besides they have good calamari

    I just talked to them on the phone and got the usual excellent response:
    Yeah yeah sure sure, come on down, we show the game.
    Love it.

    Looks like there is a very strong possiblity I'll be in DC on Wednesday without my car due to work. Any possiblity I could jump into a car that's headed back to Richmond for the game against the Scum on the 22nd? Got a Parking Pass in hand I can give to whoever is driving up ahead of time.

    Since I haven't heard anything else about carpooling, I'm assuming I'm driving up alone, so you can hitch a ride back with me. Anyone else that would like to ride up with me, I'm leaving RVA around 1:30, and if you'd like a ride back, I'm heading back here after the game. Get on it...I'll take 2 more people and gas money! Haha.

    Don't forget! 7:30 Saturday night at Penny Lane to watch DC vs. Crew!

    As I said before, I don't know what time I'll be getting there, but hopefully some people show up and get either the downstairs corner or the tv by the upstairs bar.

    Since Pedro didn't do it, I'm sending out an email.

    I have no idea if anyone will check this today, but I misread the channel listings for the game and the game is on HDNet/CN8, NOT Comcast! :( I don't know if Penny Lane gets this channel...hopefully someone will find out, and no, it's not on the local CN8.

    Ugh.

    Ok, so Penny Lane, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Home Team Grill all don't get HDNet. Sorry everyone...it looks like this is another channel nowhere in Richmond gets. Lame.

    Yup, you just buy tickets from Oscar's truck...$24 member, $26 non-member. I'm heading out of Richmond at 1:30 on Wednesday. As of right now I have no one riding up with me and one person riding back, which leaves space for 2 more (3 if you'd like to be uncomfortable). :)

    If you could meet at my house it would be easier, since I live at the Belvidere exit for 95. I'll PM you with directions later on today.
