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.

Sports Nation gets started

The first class of Sports Nation got off to a great start and its a cool class made of alums from Ateneo, UP, DLSU, and UST. I think, we might have a couple of late additions in time for the next class which is still a good jumping on point before things get into overdrive.

No one from the class knew each other personally but after the ice breaker got out of the way, there were so many converging lines on how our paths cross! From in-laws, to having former teammates or coaches as friends or co-workers, and to... well going to school after one another.

After the first session, half the group stayed behind for coffee til midnight! Hahahaha. Cool!

Thanks to Vitto of BTV for the assist here!
