Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that the autograph signing portion of the evening
tomorrow and Salsa in the Streets prior to the match have changed locations due to weather
concerns. After the match, head to Dave & Buster's for autograph signing. For those of you who went
to the post-match party last weekend for the KU/UNC viewing party, it will be in the same room.

Happy Friday folks, keep on voting in the celebration naming contest. I have to admit, my choice is
lousing miserably. I cast the first vote for Caulrdonizing and, well, only six people have followed
me. Ouch.
Everyone ready for tomorrow night's match? It's going to be chilly and windy, but the match-up
should be an intriguing one.

Howdy folks, welcome to match day 3 here in MLS action. Could be a bit chilly and rainy, so if
you're considering what to wear, make sure to pack your Wizards jacket/coat/poncho (or purchase one
at the merch stands!). Temperatures should hover right around 50 tonight. Both teams are used to
this, as New England played its first match in very brisk weather in the Northeast and followed it
up with a chilly trip to Chicago.

Happy Friday all. Isn't it wonderful to look out and see a sunny sky on the day before a Wizards
home match? Isn't it even more wonderful to check weather.com and see that the kickoff temperature
tomorrow is supposed to be 67? Impeccable.
Today, Ives Galarcep wrote a great piece about the team at espnsoccernet.

Last night's event was a huge success. Big props to CR guru (and not-so-frequent blog poster) Erin
"The Law" Lawless for her work. As those of you who attended can tell, she's quite the event
planner/organizer/overseer. Thanks to all the fans who came. Thanks to all the guys for their
excellent ability at not-so-important video games.

Greetings Hillcrest Road readers. Hopefully we added a few bookmarks from the largest-ever hit
total. I suppose that is because Soccer by Ives and The Offside Rules gave us some love again. Or
maybe it's because we scooped them all on the Tiffany May interview, and everyone wanted to see
what she had to say.

arcade games for prizes and submit a bracket to challenge our resident college basketball guru
Kerry Zavagnin.

Greetings Hillcrest loyalists, hopefully you're enjoying this chilly March day in KC. The guys got
after it today after posing for a team picture. Practice was pretty standard. The goalkeepers
trained on their own while the field players did a passing drill (three teams total with two teams
on the inside and a third team around the field for wall-pass purposes).

Hello all. Happy Monday, Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy March Madness to everyone. The boys are
back in town (sing it, don't say it) and will begin training tomorrow. We're taking the team
picture prior to practice, with the training session beginning at 10:30 a.m. at Swope. We have four
days of preparation time this week and two matches Saturday in the Saturn Challenge Cup on the
University of Oklahoma's campus in Norman/Oklahoma City.

The guys are heading to the airport now, having lost the first match of the 2008 trip. Estudiantes
captured a 3-0 win this morning. They scored 2 in the first and 1 in the second on our getaway-day.
The guys will begin training in Kansas City Tuesday at Swope in final preparations for the 2008
home opener on March 29 against D.
