Out of the corner of my eye, I catch an eager-looking gentleman trying to get my attention. Medium height, shaved head, bushy eyebrows, dark eyes, olive skin, but with a few extra pounds around his waistline. Polo shirt untucked, jeans looking neatly pressed. If I was honest, he looked like a Telly Savalas-Igal Naor hybrid.

But on Wednesday, June 26th, I went for a different experience altogether. As a wannabe sportswriter, one who wants to cover the game from a fan’s perspective—and not just necessarily DC United—I’ve always wondered what it would be like to sit in a professional press box.

A brief walk through Washington, DC’s Rock Creek Park gets my creative juices flowing. After last week’s hike and publishing a photo gallery, I tried my hands at shooting some video clips. Suffice it to say, I’ve got a lot to learn. LOL.
