New location

We moved hotels yesterday, as our training camp switched to Glendale.  We are in a nice hotel, its more business like I feel like but its real nice.  We are right across the street from the University of Phoenix Stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play.  It looks pretty neat.  We loaded up a uhaul with all our team gear and personal suitcases before our game yesterday and came straight here after the game.

We lost our game 2-1.  Vancouver had the likes of Shea Salinas, Jay Demerit, John Thorrington and a few others.  They seemed like a quality side.  Eddie Gaven scored for us on a penalty kick and we played most of the guys in training camp. I, however, didn't get in.  Just gotta keep battling in training and hopefully that will change.  We train today at 11 and that's it.  We have our third preseason game tomorrow against the Seattle Sounders.  Should be a good game.  Only two weeks away from our first actual game against Real Salt Lake in the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals.

After the game, some of the guys and I went to the yardhouse for some late lunch.  Pretty cool place, located in a huge open mall area, also located across the street.Weathers been great last four days so that's be nice.  Nothing but sun and 70s.  Watched IU lost to Purdue with Rich and Andy which stunk then we chilled for rest of day.  Went to Cracker Barrel late night for some food with Cole Grossman, Justin Meram, and my roomate Josh.  Had a nice little meal.  That was basically it.  Gotta keep grinding.  Appreciate ya checkin in.  Ill be back tomorrow sometime.  Much love.
