Saturday with the Sounders

Last Saturday, Carrie and I went to a Sounders game with some folks from her company, Turner Construction.  The company has a box at Qwest Field, so we got to watch the game in the comfort of the shade with our own buffet and bathroom.

The game was pretty interesting. There was a definite enregy at the field, one that we missed due to us being in the "high and migthty" seats. The folks directly behind the south-end goal were constantly on their feet chanting and waving their arms. Carrie and I would have like to been a part of that, and perhaps we'll be back one day so that we'll get that chance.

The Houston Dynamo drew first blood, but the Sounders quickly followed up with a response in the first half, and an unanswered goal in the second to win the game 2-0. This weekend, they play Chelsea, and even though I'll be in Frederick at the time, I may have to keep an eye on this game, which is sure to pack the stadium fuller than it usually gets for any football (International or American) game.

Later on that day, as things cooled down, we hosted a dinner party with Carrie's ex and two of her friends. More grill time!
