BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Are you ready for this? Affliction time, baby!

Ateneo Affliction A (above) & B (below)






OGBD says that Team Ateneo Affliction A (featuring the starting five) and SALVAtion Army will be available this Friday. Team Ateneo Affliction B (featuring the second unit of Ryan Buenafe, Nico Salva, Emman Monfort, Justin Chua, and Bacon Austria) will be available mid-next week along with the Kirk Long "Beam me up, Scotty!" shirt.

The design of the Ateneo Affliction is such that if two people wear the two different designs then it's like a larger mural. Sizes are as follows XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL. All shirts are PhP 350 but when it goes to the Loyola Bookstore @ the MVP Center in Ateneo it goes up to PhP 375. We will sell shirts this Friday (please bring the exact amount because I am not a money changer. Wait for details.


Do we have any more designs? Yes.

Is there a Team Ateneo Affliction C featuring the other players? Honestly, yes. But we'll see.

When are we releasing these second wave of designs? Wait for details by Monday next week. All I can say is if you like this then you're gonna love the next.

Contrary to popular belief OGBD does notstand for "Olivares Got Badass Designs." I like that but it does not. If you listened to Halikinu Radio last Thursday then you'd know.

Speaking of Halikinu Radio, this week's guests are the Ateneo Men's Football Team -- Gerard Cancio, Gab Siojo, and James Arco. Then next week it's the Ateneo Women's Beach Volleyball team led by Asia Urquico.

Those who've emailed previously to rickolivares@gmail.com or sent messages via facebook, kindly confirm your orders.
