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.

The Fan Part III Those were the days


Lazy summer days at Clinton Avenue in Jersey City, NJ. The kid beside me is Tyler, the son of my friend, Cruiser. I'm wearing a Latrell Sprewell jersey. Dig the K-Swiss kicks. Was on my way to watch the Knicks face up with the Nets.







The names on the jerseys behind me should give you an idea of how long ago this was. That's at the basement of the NBA Store in 5th Ave. Got to see Dwyane Wade make an in-store appearance in his rookie year here. I also saw a Michael Jordan exhibit where his last jersey of the '98 Finals was on display along with all six of his championship rings.
