For the Love of Football...

When Rian picked me up from Charlotte Douglas International on Tuesday night, after three years of me living cross country... we could barely contain our excitement. Rian is not only my sorority sister, but one of my best friends && fellow football fanatic. So, naturally, a simple airport pick up was out of the question. We immediately shot up to uptown for a re-introductory walk through && a Buffalo Wild Wings pit-stop.

Now, if you recall, Buffalo Wild Wings was our clique's spot when it first opened in uptown. If you don’t remember, peep this: http://tinyurl.com/32dfbsg. Rian and I had to stop through that night to scout out our football season seats.  Now, we’ve vowed to hit different sports bars throughout the season... Just to keep it interesting. But if all else fails, we need a home base. For now those are: the bustling Buffalo Wild Wings && the oh so cherished Champions.

On Thursday, September 5^th, we tested out BWW for the “FirzzzGameADaSeason.” Ravens vs. Broncos. We got there early to ensure that our seats were satisfactory. Not that it mattered much. BWW might as well be Best Buy with the number of TVs that line that place. Nevertheless, our seats were gold.

I must admit, we got a little nervous when, with only 15 minutes til kick off, the U.S. Open remained on both of the large screens. After convincing our waitress to correct the devastating problem, we were then left with the distracting issue of CNN dragging us back into the real world with their tales of murders & drones. Rian and I are both current event junkies, so it wasn’t for lack of interest… It’s just that our vibe was being trampled on! So we requested that channel be changed as well. 

We made this face:

They certainly complied...

Rian was all like...

B-Dubs gets 5 stars for customer service.

After an over 30 minute kick-off delay, football season commenced && adrenaline was restored to the lives of many.

Rian’s a Viking and I’m a Jet. Both of our games take place at 1pm on Sunday, September 8^th. If you & your friends have a similar issue & need to watch multiple games at once, let me tell you… Buffalo Wild Wings is the place to be. :)

Cheers to tackles && touchdowns!

xoxo,

No, I didn’t just abandon my blog, though I suppose I never truly said a proper goodbye—I have a habit of doing that. …Sowwy. I guess it’s because I always knew I’d be returning!

If you weren’t aware, I’ve been in Lost Angie—you know, the City of Angels—for the past few years. I worked at music’s #1 record label and the Hollywood and industry life suited me. I LOVED IT. Yes, it was wild and every bit as star-studded as you can imagine! But stars can align on each coast and, while I know I’ll miss my Lost Angie, my heart truly yearned for Charlotte.

I did post about my adventures, a bit. So if you want the skinny, eat your heart out here:

Anyway, now I’m back and ready for the next chapter. As I have in the past, I plan to keep you in my pocket as I explore all that this beautiful Queen of a city has to offer. Some places you may frequent often. Others may be hidden trinkets you’ve never even heard of. Nevertheless, I vow to be there, and I want you there too!

If you rockin’ with it, you rollin’.

Find me, keep me.
