Tropicana Field

Another sports venue/stadium I can kinda mark off my list is Tropicana Field, the home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Technically I only walked around the stadium as I my time was permitting but you can say I was here.

St Petersburg, Florida

After my filming of the Rock ‘n’ Roll St. Pete 1/2 Marathon course in my yellow Camaro rental, I drove around the area to soak as much as I could before my afternoon departure. It was a perfect day by the bay. It was a nice sunny San Diego-ish weather type of day. The one thing I’m not used to yet in the south is their type of grass everywhere. Very thick and not ideal to run around and play in as we do here in SD.

Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg

Last week I stayed at one of the US Historic Hotels in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Vinoy Renaissance Resort is located bay front of St. Pete right by The Pier. This hotel was build back in the 1920′s and has been some closures since then but was fairly recently remodeled. The hotel has a great location for any visitor who wants to be able to get out and walk around the bay. This hotel has been a retreat for the rich and famous like Marilyn Monroe, Jimmy Stewart, Calvin Coolidge.

Once I got to my room the first thing I did was order room service. I had a nice over night stay and wasn’t bothered by any ghosts or anything haunting happening as I thought I would encounter after reading the historic information about it.

2011 Chargers vs Ravens

The last home game of the season was a blast. Definitely ended on a good one as our tailgate was on a good one. Nothing like spending the last tailgate with good friends and good food.

Pizzeria Bianco – Phoenix, AZ

So my last stop before my flight home, I scoured google for places you have to eat in Phoenix and came across this place. People were raving how good this pizza is and ranting on how long the wait is (1-3 hour during dinner) so I thought it was a must-go.

I was wrong. I sat in a little after lunch so it was empty and I had a corner table to myself. Really cool atmosphere and buildings since it was located in the historical Heritage Square. However I didn’t think the pizza was up to par with the hype. I actually find Dominoes better pizza than this. The cheese would often slide off too easily and all I’m left with was a really thin, plain piece of dough.

Don’t get me wrong, pizza is pizza, so of course I demolished it.

Tempe, Arizona

Headed out to Arizona after the new years for a little business trip. My objective was to film the Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona half marathon and full marathon courses for the course tour we make. It was just perfect weather in AZ for the 2 days I was there. After filming the courses, spent some time at the Tempe Beach Park to relax and shoot some photos and luckily I came away with some really cool perspective shots.

Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club

A couple of weeks ago Geoff and I hit up the CMRCC for a little post-hangover golf relaxation. Nothing beats a cheap twilight, empty golf course.

Chargers vs Jets @ Metlife Stadium

ollie — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:45:27 +0000

Spent last weekend in NY for the Chargers/Jets game. Very disappointed in my team but as a fan, you live and die with the team you root for. The hard part about dedicating your time and money for away games is the risk of losing. It may be early in the season still but there is a question on if this team is ready to be a championship team. As of last week, no. Just like every tough loss, you forget and move on to the next week…

Chargers vs Dolphins

This may be a few weeks old but better late than never. Saw a few good friends at the tailgate and I was slang’n my new tank top shirts out of the trunk of the car. Didn’t take too many photos but here are the handful I took…

How To Make My Football Jersey

ollie — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:30:12 +0000

Over a couple of weeks ago, I invested in some cool new, as I would say it “toys”. I bought a Vinyl Cutter/Plotter and a heat press to make custom shirts, stickers, etc. One thing I always hated when I needed a new jersey for football is getting it done somewhere by the sports arena and knowing I could do it myself. Any name, any number, any team name, basically any anything whenever I wanted to make a shirt/jersey.

Last night I had some fun and made my new football shirt for my sunday night league and I just wanted to show you how it’s all done…
