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.

At Collision Course @ the Cuneta Astrodome 1/23/10

With new IBF Flyweight Champion Carlos Tamara who beat Brian Viloria in a dramatic come from behind win at the main card of Collision Course at the Cuneta Astrodome. This was after the press con. It's going to be tough to write this. This is with his trainers Angel and Butch. All these guys are fans of the New York Yankees. I'm writing the fight story for Business Mirror aside from my regular Monday column. It was a long and exhausting day as I arrived at 8am and left at 3pm. Was around the ring taking photos and notes. Seriously, it isn't easy to do both. Will have to choose one next time. But I'm grateful to stay ringside as opposed to the Press Room because there's a different feel to it and you can hear everything that goes on. Will try my best to do the fight justice.
With the Ring Girls of Collision Course. Don't know who was more eagerly awaited -- the Viloria-Tamara fight or the Ring Girls going up the ring between round.
