Another slow news day

By: Melissa | March 11th, 2008

I’m 99% positive my friend took this photo during Oakland’s first Fridays pretentious self-congratulatory art walk sh*t-fest. Can you tell I am not a fan? There are so many terrible things I want to say about this picture right now (but not about my friend who took the photo, she’s great).

Moving on… this slow news week is killing me. Soccer Spin has a little update on our two new trialists from T&T and there’s a video of the 2007 World Series of Poker champion Xao “Jerry” Yang wearing a tryout tour jersey at the March 10th World Poker Tour event in San Jose. I’m mentally adding him to that MLS Rumors celebrity list. Also, bigsoccer user athletics68 took photos of Shawesome Stadium Friday which are available here.

In local news, my favorite taco truck in Oakland moved and I’m devastated. So to anyone living in or visiting the Town, please be on the lookout for the Tacos Chaves roach coach and drop me a line if you find it. Also, a few of us are getting together this Saturday at The Mad Dog & The Fog to watch the 4pm USA v Honduras Olympic qualifiers game. I think my friend and I will spend much of it lamenting what looks like the death of Benny Feilhaber’s career. What happened? And in the not-to-distant future (i.e. March 29th), there will likely be an all day viewing event for every scheduled MLS game at Kezar pub. Yup, the Columbus v Toronto game starts at 1pm and if I’m not camping on Angel Island, I’ll be there. And the Kezar event is also a general meeting for the 1906/Ultras supporters group so if you are thinking of joining them, this is a great opportunity to stop by and get involved.

So last night, I stumbled upon an amazing blog post from Precious Roy over at Unprofessional Foul. Its a great story that reminds us all what stupid things we’ll do to try to impress girls and/or guys we think are cute. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve done some dumbass sh*t in the past in this department. And on that note, here’s the band denver, with a song and video that could be a serious contender over at Cute Overload. Enjoy.
