Is it apparent I'm somewhat fond of Dempsey?

Heading out from the hotel Saturday morning. I found out this week I own an awful lot of navy blue shirts.

I ATE ALL THE PIES

Starting GK for one of the two (mostly) Midnight Riders teams at the Supporters' Cup, which was a fun way to spend Saturday morning.

Hey, look who showed up for the Supporters' Summit. His eyes are about the same color as the Gatorade he's holding. Nice guy.

rev practice

We were able to sneak out of the Supporters' Summit lunch a bit early and catch the Revs practice.

Revs practice, with MLS Equipment Manager of the Year Rusty Wummel in foreground. Unsurprisingly, Rusty is a very nice fellow.

Speaking of nice guys, I can't say enough good things about how awesome a guy Jay Heaps is.

This photo was a lot more interesting about a second before the camera shutter opened. I think Dempsey lifts his shirt up more than anybody else on the squad.

demps!

The angels wanna wear my red shoes.

goons

Me with Mandarin Deli, fellow SA goon. She started following an English team really casually, met some people, decided to check out her local MLS side, really got into it, completely fell for the goalkeeper...sounds familiar.

bobbing for beer

10:40 Sunday morning:
"It's Brad and Julie's Tub of Mystery Beer! You reach in, and whatever you grab, you drink!"
"All right, here's how we're gonna do this. Gimme your scarf."
"Uh okay-"
"Now gimme your hands."
"Wait what"
"Now hop to it."

And this was invented by someone who doesn't drink.

Then it was time for the game, where [SCENE MISSING]

Continuing the trend of players being truly nice guys, here's me with Marshall Leonard and Khano Smith; unfortunately we got Khano in mid-blink.
