Jamie and Dave with our Signed Jerseys
Chelski Comes To Town
This week, one of the biggest soccer clubs in the world, Chelsea, is in town from London to play a couple of friendly matches at the Home Depot Center. Today, they came to the Adidas store in Santa Monica - walking distance from my apartment. They had an autograph session, but it was only open to 50 random drawing winners and their guests. While you'll never see me cheering for the team (I support Manchester United), I couldn't pass up the chance to meet some of the best players in the world, so I entered. And won. Pretty much the entire team was there (except injured Michael Ballack) and they all signed my jersey... Petr Cech, Michael Essien, Ricardo Carvalho, Andriy Shevchenko, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Arjen Robben, Salomon Kalou, John Terry... and everyone else. I can count 25 autographs on my jersey, although I can't recognize all of them. It was a pretty cool experience. On Tuesday night, they'll be playing Korea's Suwon Bluewings and on Saturday they'll play the LA Galaxy in what is supposed to be David Beckham's first match, although he's got a swollen ankle, so who knows.
