Party a smashing success

Ahem. Sorry about that Isaac, we'll get those tables repaired, the dancing got a little out of hand ;-)

The party was too much fun to take pix, but it looked a bit like this

We want to thank the many many folks who came out for the Class VI inaugural pre-season party at the Bulldog yesterday afternoon. It was a perfectly dreary, English-weather way to welcome in the new soccer season.

Attendees were greeted by quite the collection of silent auction items. From Clint Mathis' XXL shorts to the popular Nico long-sleeve warm-up jersey, things were hottin' up in the bidding wars. One lucky fan won the Mastroeni jersey auction and many more got some cool door prizes.

For me, though, it was all about winning some new friends & re-connecting with stalwart Class VI-ers of old. Good times, folks!

Many of us also got our first look at the sexy new Rapids home jersey. Looks even better in person!

We also appreciate the very generous bidding from everyone, the funds will go a long way towards funding the tailgate infrastructure we've purchased, including a tailgate grill, canopies, and food. Well, we haven't bought the food yet.

Therese, the Fuller's London Pride beer representative, announced that Fuller's will be the exclusive beer provider of Class VI, and will be on-hand at every tailgate this year to provide us with Beer!!!!!!

Isaac proved once again why the British Bulldog is the top destination for soccer fans in Denver. Great grub, great drinks, great prices, great atmosphere.

Muchas Gracias to Fuller's and the British Bulldog and all of our great partners!!!
