I've been in dire financial straits for what seems like forever. I've denied myself almost every luxury, big or small that costs money, even a relatively small amount. Well, I've made a decision to give myself a few hour break from that highly pressurized situation.

While I may have to deny myself a little more afterwards, i've decided to go see a band named, Olken, on the 17th. The reason I'm anxious to do this, is that the beautiful and talented, Louisiana, is a member of the band. I have never heard their music before. The show starts at 10:30pm, which means that i'll get home way past my bedtime. In addition, I have to be up around 8:00am the next morning.

But, you know what? I'm planning to go anyway. Why? Because I want to. I'm so sick and tired of denying myself that i'm using this event as my "line in the sand". It's only an $8 admission and i'm just going to have one drink, if that. So I don't think i'm being irresponsible by doing this. I figure, if I can't treat myself to something like this, I might as well pack it in altogether, which i'm not planning to do.

If anyone is in the NYC area and is thinking of going, it's at: The Delancey Lounge, located at 168 Delancey Street in Manhattan. I'd love to see some other SG members there.

You know, I'm never quite sure why football/soccer hasn't caught on more in the US. But then, apart from Japan, there's no market outside of North America for baseball really. I know a lot of the Latin American clubs were initially set up by British emigrants, especially in Argentina and Uruguay. And they have strong links with the Italian and Spanish leagues too. It must be a fairly organic thing, I guess.
But there is also the issue of rivalries, which are quite fierce, especially between teams from the same cities. Perhaps because major league football is imposed from the top down in the US, by marketing men seeing an opportunity, it hasn't got that grassroots allegiance that it has in other countries, where it has always been a working class sport. We always joke about clubs like Manchester United that their fans would be lucky to locate Manchester on a map, because they are now a global brand.
Some rivalries are still very sectarian; Celtic and Rangers in Glasgow having catholic and protestant supporters respectively. And their songs are rarely about football. So clubs have always defined communities, in a way. Even their unofficial names - the Millers (Rotherham United - a reference to the steel mills), the Blades (Sheffield United - another steel reference), the Potters (Stoke City - centre of the pottery industry), the Hammers (West Ham United were originally Thames Ironworks) - conjure an idea of their communitye base. Hatters, Cobblers, Saddlers, Glovers - the list goes on. But it does indicate how tied it was to the industrial revolution.
Sorry, long reply!
