I'd be willing to have people over to my house, if (and it's a big if) I can get off of work those days. I have a 46" HDTV, so I can rock the High Def. There are house rules though.... No smoking, coasters required.
This is my last week of work until July 10th. I will however be watching my 4 month old so I don't forsee me going to any bars for games. I will be in Florida for the Italy/US game. But will be around for the other 2, and the majority of the competition itself.
A week ago there were some rumblings about a Barra (and maybe SE too?) viewing party to watch the US-Italy match and then the DC-??? match after that. If that happens, I'm definitely up for traveling down there for that if anyone else would wanna go. I'm off work for all 3 of the US opening round games and there's no way in hell I'd miss any further round games. There may also be some other days next month that I'm going to be "working from home". I watched the 2002 games in my apartment, on my couch, by myself and would really prefer not to have to do that again. So I'm up for gettin' together.
I would have loved to get my kickball on last Sunday... I'm moving back into my house this weekend, even though the contractors aren't finished yet... grrrr..... Hope the picnic was good.
We're going to say one place and then wait until you leave to show up. I'm still embarrassed about that snafu.
Kickball was a lot of fun...Probably the best one yet. Four drops of rain fell then the sun came out. bill
Not one. I think it was due to the following... No maragarita keg at kickball No 7 hour drive from Columbus to kickball. No empty stomach at kickball. No standing on bouncing Sec 135 with bunch of crazy people at kickball. Oooooooof.... Thank you... bill
Aw, Bill's too kind. I'm no savior. I just got him home safely after the last game. Like he said he had a 7 hour drive from Columbus that morning, then I picked him up and we went to the tailgate and got there around 4:30 (for a 7:30 game ). A few beers...no food...and then he started hitting the margarita keg. Bill was mesmerized by the bouncing of section 135 and the charm of the ladies of the Barra to the point that it was hard for him to stay on his feet. Thanks to you Bill for getting to meet Santino. Awesome!
I remember watching the match on TV a few nights later and there I was in the 45th minute standing by the woman in the Quaranta jersey and the couple from Baltimore... The same camera shot happened late in the game and I was nowhere to be found.... I'm pretty certain I had hit the deck... Oooof... bill
