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.

July 28 ticket news and other stuff



The Local Organizing Committee of the Philippine Men’s Football National Team Home Matches announced that:

Tickets to the July 28 match between the Philippines and Kuwait will go on sale beginning July 16 at 10am via Ticketworld. Prices for the game will remain the same: Php 200, 300, 2000, and 3000.

Tickets will contain a note on the prohibited items. The LOC apologizes for any inconveniences during the July 3 match. The prohibited items will be enforced vigorously on July 28.

For the media people covering the match, please bring protection for your cameras (raincoats and water proof gear).

We have taken up the matter of the overzealous bouncers. Consider them addressed.

There will be more food stalls with better variety for all patrons.

The July 28 game will kick off at 7pm. The lights at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium are in fantastic working condition.

There will be a new wrinkle to the Kaholeros. Kindly wait for new announcements on what they will be doing.

Bit of trivia here: the giant Philippine flag that was unfurled in the bleachers area cost Php 16,000 to make and it was fans who chipped in for the manufacture of the flag.

    Noon against SG, tyak ko talo. Pero tumabla! Versus Vietnam, sabi ko ito na ang wakas! But we got them 2-0 hehehe. Versus kuwait... malalaman natin, but this is different because we have a home game!
