The campaign begins NOW

I’m jumping on the campaigning bandwagon here at the San Jose Offside. Perhaps inspired by the Democratic nomination campaigns and Oakland’s upcoming city council election campaigns. First, I started it all by requesting Kei Kamara’s goal against Houston makes the cut for Goal of the Week. Also, every once in a while, I argue that Steve Nash should be in the running for San Jose’s Designated Player slot (homeboy went to Santa Clara and I bet he’d be playing for SJ now if he didn’t pick basketball as a child). But this morning, I think I came up with the de facto and absolute campaign to throw all my efforts behind. The little light bulb above my head turned on and I immediately txted a friend to get confirmation this is indeed a good idea. She agreed so here goes nothing…

One of my oldest and closest friends is working on a project put on by The Shipyard. It’s an alternative energy race from Berkeley to Las Vegas where vehicles fueled by anything BUT petroleum are allowed to enter. And I think The Earthquakes ownership group should sponsor it. Perhaps not the entire race but maybe just a car? We can put Earthquakes stickers all over it and even have a player drive it. Is Jay Ayres still out? C’mon down! A trip to Vegas will make that face heal faster for sure. Ok, in all seriousness, I am not lying about the race. Here’s an article from CNet about it. Also, my friend is gonna send me more info and I’m gonna try to “get a meeting” with Lew and the boys. I’ve never actually attempted to ask rich people for money before so this will be a learning process for me. Follow along as I go through the philanthropic motions. Will I be successful? No idea. But I am going to try!
