Today is my last day getting to be a very important person in the world of Major League Soccer. The actual All-Star game is this evening and the weather is supposed to be perfect for it. So far, Brad and I have gotten to hit up two parties and attend a taping of the Men In Blazers podcast. Not to mention stay in a pretttttty nice hotel in downtown Portland which makes getting to and from very important people places quite convenient. I wanted to share a few things I have learned so far in the world of All-Star.
//I am taller than a lot of male soccer players.
//They will still flirt with you even if you are taller than them.
//My feet are not conditioned to wear tall wedges two nights in a row.
//I am also taller than Brad when I wear wedges. Then again he too was a soccer player...
//That was a lot of talls just used.
//Pro Athletes are much better at staying up late than I am.
//2 am is a horrible time to fall asleep on a week night when you have to be up at 5:30 the next morning.
//Staying up late 3 nights in a row might be the most horrible thing I could do to my body, but here goes nothing!
//The world of pro soccer in the US is quite small. Everyone knows everyone, including Brad since he used to work for DC United.
//Hotel robes will forever be a favorite.
//The Men In Blazers are super entertaining and funny, even if I don't know the majority of soccer players they are talking about.

//If you make nice with the chef at Grassa that is rolling out the fresh pasta he will give you pasta dough to nibble on just because.
Definitely took a creeper pic of him when he wasn't looking!
//Cold War Kids put on a better read: less weird free concert than The Flaming Lips.
//I really like this photo below even though it's grainy as furk.
//If you yell from your car to the nice construction worker at 6 am to grab the coffee you left on the smart park pay station, he will be confused but will bring you your almost 5 dollar coffee you just purchased and left sitting there after you paid for your parking.
//Portland will always be my happy place.
//I will be ready to go to bed at 5pm on Thursday night.
Cheers to soccer!
