Tickets, Bixbe, and P*rtscum

Tickets, Bixbe, and P*rtscum - Cassie Wallender // Firewallender

My grandparents are coming to town! This is great news, but it means I need to sell some of my season tickets to Sounders FC games. I’m trying out Bixbe to sell them. It’s a handy-dandy fairly instant storefront you can set up in a few clicks if you have PayPal (and who doesn’t?). The first set of tickets I put on Bixbe sold in 8 minutes. Like, money-in-my-PayPal-account sold. Beautiful. Let’s hope I have the same luck with this pair – the game is next Sunday night!

Speaking of Sounders, I went to last night’s US Open Cup game against the Portland Timbers via the epicness that was the Emerald City Supporter’s uber-bus caravan. So ridiculously fun. So so fun. I got to meet a whole bunch of ECS members and watch the Timbers can cut down, again, by the Sounders before their Open Cup hopes even had a chance. I love a little cross-”town” rivalry. Competition drives excellence.

Since we won (BOOYAH!), our next USOC game is Wednesday, July 7th at Starfire versus LA Galaxy. ECS has tickets for sale at $16 for members. Buy from our supporters club and avoid the Ticketmaster fees.  If you aren’t an ECS member and for some silly reason don’t want to be, here’s the Ticketmaster link.

The game is all general admission, so come early for great seats! So far Harmony, Erin O., Colin, Matt, and I will be there, for those of you out there in internetland who know me IRL.  Hope you can make it.

Seattle loves fútbol

Firstly: God, I love fútbol. The World Cup has been a wild ride so far.

Secondly, check out my beautiful Seattle celebrating Landon Donovan’s big score:

Thirdly, who wants to take Wednesday off and ride from Seattle to Portland with a bunch of crazies for the US Open Cup? I do.

Ah, the Superbowl

And a little good, old fashioned slapstick… always a winner. :-)

Who is the biggest advertising loser of the Super Bowl? It appears to be GoDaddy, who started quite a stir on Twitter with their not only degrading but also blatantly stupid and absolutely uncreative ad campaign. People are fleeing the domain hosting company like rats off a sinking ship. This includes me. I had one single domain left there which I plan on transfering to 1&1 today. Not all publicity is good publicity, GoDaddy.
