Full House

I went to the Earthquakes game tonight, and while it was terrible to see them lose another game to L.A. that they should have won on a questionable late goal (I want to blame the officials, but things would have been much different if they hadn't blown their own PK opportunity) it was awesome to be at a sold-out game. The crowd energy was not overwhleming, but it was lively. Sometimes it is fun to put away any pretenses of objectivity and just root for something, and root against whatever is in its way (officials, opposing teams, whatever you've got). And I found both the "Asian Specialties" food vendor in the stadium, so I can get edamame during the game, and the specialty beer vendor so I can pick from a good range of beers for $5. Of course, I asked for a Sapporo and had to show the guy pouring my drink which bottle that was. Is this where people who get poor grades in bartending school go after they graduate?
