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.

Ateneo & San Sebastian Volleybelles @ BEG

December 3, 2009 is the 60th Anniversary of the Blue Eagle Gym (formerly Ateneo Gym and Loyola Center). Way back in 1949, Ateneo split its opening matches; a pair of exhibition matches against Mapua and Ateneo de Cagayan. And history did repeat itself as the Ateneo Women's Volleyball Team beat the Lady Stags in four sets while the Ateneo Men's Team fell in three straight. As I said through my hoarse voice, some things are just consistent in the universe as history does repeat itself.
