Tickets in the SE Nest & Aerie: Tickets are available. The SE Ticket Mistress is having trouble with her internet so please stop by the SE Ticket window on Wed (Nicole will be there starting at 6:30 pm). Tickets are $25. The Aerie also has tickets, contact outreach@screaming-eagles.com or stop by the SE tailgate on Wed.
Season planholders use Special Ticket E. Yeah, we know that’s out of order, just roll with it. ALSO planholders in the Nest, please stop by the SE Ticket Window to get your t-shirt coupon for your "We Win Trophies" t-shirt (you can pick up coupon and shirt on Wednesday or at the US Open Cup game on Sept 2). The coupon will say where to get shirt inside.
We will have a typical weeknight tailgate (limited amount of pizza and beer) starting around 4:30 pm in the usual spot in lot 8. If you’re going to be late (or SUPER hungry and thirsty) we highly suggest bringing you’re own picnic. We will start packing up around 7 pm (or sooner if stuff runs out).
Regular MLS Season Continues on Saturday
Chicago Fire-D.C. United
Saturday, August 29
Toyota Park
Bridgeview, IL
Kick off 8:30 pm ET
SE Pub Crawl
We’re hosting a pub crawl on U St, NW on Saturday to help D.C. United promote their "We Win Trophies" campaign leading up to the US Open Cup Final on September 2.
The plan is to start out at Duffy’s (2106 Vermont Ave., NW, across Vermont from the 9:30 Club) starting at 4:00 pm. From there, we’ll move on to Nellies (900 U St, NW) around 5:30 pm. Then it’s on to Solly’s (11th & U St) around 6:30 pm and lastly to Momo’s (1334 U St. NW) around 7:30 pm so we’ll have an hour before kick off. Time are all approximate (have you ever herded cats?) You can easily get to U St via Metro (U St stop). There is no fee to attend, you’re responsible for your own food and drink costs.
Duffy’s, the first stop, will be offering weekday happy hour specials to us, ‘cuz our NW DC regiment captain asked soo nicely. We’re working with DC United to get the US Open Cup Trophy to come with us on the crawl (if not we will at least have the "We Win Trophies" stickers to hand out and to use to chat up people to attend the game on Tuesday). We even have a little wagon to tote the trophy from bar to bar (oh yeah, we’re always thinking!) The team would REALLY like the Screaming Eagles help with this final push to sell tickets for the US Open Cup game so we hope MANY people can join us on Saturday (bring your friends and neighbors, they don’t have to be members). If you have a "We Win Trophies" t-shirt (or the Tradition t-shirt with the trophies), please wear that for the crawl. Obviously you need to be 21+ years olf to come along. If you have questions about the crawl, please contact Kim at kim@screaming-eagles.com
If you can’t make it to U St. on Saturday, Kitty’s, Pour House, Babylon Futbol Cafe and Slainte will have the game on tv.
Thanks to the Hardy Souls Who Made Last Saturday Happen
Eh, yeah, we’re not speaking about the team, but the volunteers who braved the elements to make sure much beer and food was served to the folks who came out to the tailgate. We also want to thank people who brought many lovely desserts and sides, all were extremely appreciated (and apparently all eaten!) We’ll be looking for more of the same for the September 12 tailgate.
SE Wine Club: Many people also made it over to the new SE Wine Club tent with bottles to share. We’re hoping to continue this for the rest of the season. If you’d like to be involved in this new SE subgroup, send an email to Kim at kim@screaming-eagles.com and we can add you to the discussion group. if you signed up on Saturday and haven’t received an email to join the discussion group please send a note (our sign-in sheet got a little smudged from the rain so we might not have your correct email address).
