We'd like to start this week's run-down by wishing a very happy birthday to parent blog Gothamist, which turned four on Friday. If it wasn't for them, the rest of us wouldn't be here. They celebrated their birthday by nabbing an interview with Entourage star Adrian Grenier, who misses NYC public transportation when he's working in LA. They also reported on NYU students protesting a band whose name is also known as a slur,...
Sometimes you need to clean yourself up, get serious, and move in with daddie for a few months before you head to Latin America for a new gig. The District bid's Jenna Bush adios. D.C.-based television shows have an elderly audience and DCist has some suggestions to fix that. They're also throwing Butterstick the panda bear a birthday bash. Yeah, we may have a few issues with our World Cup broadcasters here, but this guy...
Anyone wondering how recent NFL draft picks Mario Williams and Reggie Bush have been spending their free time? Well apparently they've been busy slipping into skintight TechFit PowerWeb Apparel as part of Adidas' new Thrill or Destroy campaign. The marketing gurus at Adidas, keeping busy after making the not-so-loved World Cup Ball, have decided that all football players fall into two categories: "Ultimate Thrill Player" or "Consummate Destroy Player" symbolized by Bush and Williams....
Sampaist is on the scene in São Paulo beginning this week to become the only ist south of the Equator. Editor Leandro M. Pinto leads the paulistanos down there. You can protest someone at his office, sure, but when the whistle blows at the end of the day can you follow him home? D.C. has sports fans, apparently, and elephants aren't really cut out for zoos. There's this trick where you can read information from...
While some of us may still be stuck in morning traffic, the nation's soccer fans will be enjoying their sick day glued to the TV as the US takes on Ghana. Team USA needs a win today to even consider moving on to the second round. If they pull out the win, they will then need Italy to defeat the Czech Republic. If Italy loses, there is still a chance the US squad can advance, however most of those scenarios include the US scoring multiple goals against Ghana.
]The stormy weather that passed through Houston earlier today may have been a blessing in disguise as couch potatoes everywhere were rewarded with two fantastic World Cup games.
The US Soccer Team will make it's 2006 World Cup debut today, facing off against the heavily favored Czech Republic. The game starts promptly at eleven this morning on ESPN 2, so Houstonist is in a rush trying to fill in the numerous gaps in our soccer knowledge.
LAist is flashing a sad peace out to their editor Carolyn Kellogg with one hand and bumping knuckles with their new head typist L.A. blogger king Tony Pierce with the other. Where do ist editors go when they hang up the 'editorial we'? They take on MySpace, apparently. At least Ben Brown does. Austinist reminds of the just rewards of less savory careers this week and then they witness the Arctic Monkeys and We Are...
Things are going well for Houston’s newest major league sports team. The Houston Dynamo, a part of MLS, won their last game 4-3 over FC Dallas. And then Brian Ching, a forward for the team, was named the MLS Player or the Month. And today, Ching joins the US national team in Cary, N.C., for training camp to get ready for the FIFA World Cup that happens once every four years. The 2006 edition is...
Shanghaiist probably knows a little more about China than the Chicago Sun-Times. Giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one. The city does to have a music scene. Don't even front like they don't. They also have Dorito bananas and white guys shopping for wives. What they don't have is any more tolerance for jaywalkers. Bostonist sees Boston and Somerville each whip out their art and face off. A plagiarized novel is the...
