My independent video blogging is now getting me access pri-mo events!?! Whaaaat? This weekend I was offered the opportunity to have press access to attend the KC Wizards MLS soccer game here in Kansas City. And this wasn’t just any normal game- this was the game of the year. David Beckham played in the game.

[record scratch sound] One quick throw-back to my younger life; growing up soccer was my favorite sport. It was the sport I played all the way through high school. I also played competitive club ball. In fact, I had aspirations of playing in college [cue pity story]. My senior year, I tore my ACL in my knee- which prevented me from playing in college. Long story long, you can see why I’m a huge fan of the sport. So, getting an invite to this was awesome!

Fast-forward to the game this weekend, my press access let me walk-in with my camera to snap some pictures. You can imagine, the ‘real press’ there had cameras worth more than my life. I sorta felt like the little kid who showed up to a pickup baseball game who’s glove was from the toy store (enough about my camera envy) Take a look at the pics I snapped while I was there. While they might not be as good as ESPN’s, they should give you the idea of what it was like to be there.
