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.

  2. Wish that the same prohibitions were implemented on the day of the Azkals vs Al Azraq game last Saturday here in Kuwait. But with the temp. of 45degress or more here, it's impossible for water to be prohibited for everyone to bring. That man who pointed a laser to our goal keeper should be apprenhended. Was there anything done about it? Anyway, We pinoys here in Kuwait are wishing all the best to our team Azkals on their 2nd game vs Al Azraq on the 28th. How we wish that same crowd who witnessed the event last July 23rd could come and cheer you again out there, our prayers are the only best to offer you now. We believe and we are very proud to you Azkals. Go go go! Give it all you best shot! There is nothing impossible. Good luck and God bless.

  4. Ricky, where can we park? last time I parked at SM hypermart, but am I right that this time I won't be able to reach hypermart because of the rerouting? Thanks.
