Catholic University vs. Washington Wizards
November 28, 2012
Who will draw a bigger crowd at home tonight in DC, the NBA’s Washington Wizards as they host the Portland Trailblazers or Catholic University as they host Frostburg State? That was the topic discussed earlier on Twitter between 106.7 The Fan’s Sky Kerstein and Holden Kushner, who then provided the photo evidence: Here is your […]

On BLY: 90.7% increase in price of these Caps season tickets over five years
February 17, 2012
With the new season ticket prices the Caps have announced for next season, two 400 level Caps season tickets that went for $1713 total in 2008-09 will now go for $3266 next season.

Supporting my local brewer
February 11, 2012
I made my first trip to DC Brau headquarters today, after reading a @dcbrau tweet that they had the FWR Imperial Pumpkin Porter on tap—I’m a sucker for any pumpkin beer and it’s usually tough to find them outside the fall season. I’d had DC Brau’s The Public two or three times at some local […]
Nats look to “Take Back the Park” from Phillies selling only to local addresses
February 3, 2012
Here’s something from the D.C. Sports Bog that might be of interest to those who like to see tickets stay out of the hands of the opposing team’s fans. “…starting Friday morning at 8 a.m., the club will begin selling single-game tickets for just a single weekend series: May 4-6, against the Phillies. These tickets […]

Enjoyed an afternoon beer and a sandwich at Gilly’s in Rockville on a relaxing day off. The Boulder oatmeal stout was awesome.

Airborne advertising 2.0
December 3, 2011
The Baltimore Sun ran an article in the business section last week on Bootcamp Lights, the company that recently ran some WAKA kickball and dodgeball advertisements for us. They refer to it as “airborne advertising 2.0″. Check out part of our WAKA helicopter ad on YouTube through that last link.
Kevin Weekes says Caps now “the main team” in DC area sports scene
December 2, 2011
Speaking on the NHL Network about the Anaheim Ducks hiring of former Caps coach Bruce Boudreau, Kevin Weekes praised Boudreau for putting Caps “back on the radar” and said, “they’re now the main team back in the DC area in terms of the sports scene.” True? Do the Caps come ahead of the Skins as […]
