Welcome to Pittsburgh.

No one said that to us. It was more like “GO STEELERS… blah blah blah”.

We left SD to Pittsburgh via Las vegas. Believe it or not there were prolly a good 20-30 charger fans on their way to pittsburgh. there was one guy on our flight that was a steelers fan wearing gay wrist bands and a mexican steelers poncho!? and yes, he was talking shit. When we landed in vegas, pretty much all the charger fans connecting to the next flight possee’d up and headed to the next gate. Met with North County Times reporters and photographers that remembered me and doug on the front page last tuesday.

The whole day in the airports all i heard was “go chargers”! It was amazing how many times we heard that. On the flight to pittsburgh, a friendly charger fan sat with us and hooked it up with free drink tickets for beer, wine, or mixed drink. The whole flight i watched curious case of benjamin button. It was an awesome movie. Im surprised my computer lasted the whole time. Mid way through the flight, the pilots announced the final score of the raves/titans game and passengers on the plane went crazy.

Arrived to pittsburgh to a whole lotta steeler gay pride. it seems like all the airport has to decorate it with was stupid steeler gear. I guess thats the only 1 thing to be proud about in pittsburgh. got a taxi and found out the driver was in steeler gear. great. before we drove he had to put his terrible tissue on the dashboard.

Got to the hotel and checked in under a big sign that says “steeler country” and a whole lotta steeler fans in the lobby. already a lot of heckle-ling. We took a taxi to a bar/food joint called fat heads. in the charger forums, people were supposed to meet there tonight. the food was good and especially the beer. I drank the ROGUE FAT HEADS IPA 5.5%, ROGUE DEAD MANS IPA 6.5%, and a shot of MARKERS MARK.

We are back at the hotel and about to pass out. im not going to adjust to pittsburgh time. and by the way, the weather is cold but warmer than i expected.

The plan tomorrow is to meet fellow charger fans at a bar called finnagans at 11am (8am pacific time) and party till game time. We are going to head in the stadium a little early to check out the new heinz field, check out chargers warm ups, and what a superbowl trophy looks like.

Things are good out here in pittsburgh. theres a lot more chargers fans than i expected. A LOT MORE. a lot from san diego. im so nervous. its gonna be hard to sleep. time for bed.

good night san diego.
