Timbers vs. Montreal Impact!
This is the end to the weird day I was having. I bike back from the water front with one of the two thunderstorms Portland will have this year chasing me the whole way back. When I get in the door I check my email and see that my Media Pass is waiting at PGE park. I look out the window and see the monsoon outside. Sweet. Charge the camera battery and unload the destroyer pics. Find the rain gear and off I go! And it was totally worth it.
Montreal Impact! June 2009
Timbers!
This was the second game that we went to. It seems the awesome Thirsty Thursday portions are gone this week and we were given what looked like 10 oz beer cups. Everyone was walking around beer akimbo, but I had to limit my intake. I just didn’t have enough hands to take pictures and drink two beers at once.
There were all sorts of awesome at this game. A Timbers win with a penalty kick in the TWO minute overage(overtime) time, with the opposing team’s goalie drawing a yellow card for stalling. Those of us that didn’t crowd into the smoking holding cell outside were also treated to an Oregon Beavers rugby match at halftime.
There is a possibility that I know a may know a lady that knows a guy that could get me a press pass to get onto the sidelines for another game. This is still in the planning stages though. Here’s to hoping they are foolish enough to let me down there…
