I love gatherings

Large public gatherings are probably the most efficient place to make first impressions. This is one of the best reasons to attend a live sporting event rather than watching at home.

I went to the UW/Stanford game last Thursday with my friend Justen and his girlfriend Haley. It was the first home conference game with classes in session which means that it was sort of a big deal. We were up in the nose bleeds which in cities like Philadelphia and New York would belong to blue blooded fans who traditionally prefer to get loaded and have a good time. In Seattle, they belong to D-bags who actually care about their seat numbers, and don't know that they're supposed to stay on their feet until the road team scores.

So while the ladies with high heels and novelty hot dogs shuttling themselves back and forth throw the rows of "assigned seats," might remember me for a foul mouth and short temper with our all-star Pac-ten refs, here's to hoping that someone remembers me for my Purple Heart.
