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.

Someone is going to the World Cup! Soccer Fiesta ends with a bang and a goal!

Soccer Fiesta, as produced by Real Sports Authority (by one of my bestest friends Rely San Agustin), was a smashing success. For three weeks, Soccer Fiesta set up in the atrium or skating rink of SM Malls -- Mall of Asia, Megamall, and the Block -- where RSA mounted skills challenges and had other football stuff on display to help promote the 2010 World Cup in South Africa where Castrol is a major sponsor. Ed Mallari, former national team player won the Castrol Skills Challenge over a bunch of competitors and for his prize, he will be watching the 2010 World Cup finals in Johannesburg. Have a fun trip, Eddie!
