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.

Pinoy Basketbol Kakampi Ninyo

Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas has organized a fund-raising event called "Pinoy Basketbol Kakampi Ninyo" for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy. The two-game event will pit a combined NCAA and UAAP selection that will go up against a team composed of players from the PBL and Liga Pilipinas. The main game will feature Smart Gilas Pilipinas versus Powerade Team Pilipinas. The games will be held at the Araneta Coliseum on Monday October 5, 2009 at the Araneta Coliseum. 

All ticket sales will be coursed through ABS CBN Foundation and go to the victims of one of the worst disasters to hit the Philippines in decades. SBP is also requesting for donations of old rubber shoes from all the leagues involved that will likewise be given to the victims.
