A Big F***ing Party, Cascadia Soccer Day – July 14th
Cascadia Now! Organizers working in Vancouver BC are working to coordinate a big f***ing party to celebrate the Pacific Northwest, a sense of pride in place, and of course Soccer! And they want to make sure you get a chance to join them.
Here’s the scoop.
Cascadian Dark Ales will be on special, regional and local dishes using local Cascadian food will be served, and if all goes well, stickers, patches and hopefully other swag and merchandise will be given out for free or sold at cost.
The Whitecaps play Chicago that day, and the Timbers are at home against Los Angeles (and the Sounders play Salt Lake on Sunday), so there is talk about working to try and incorporate the games, and link up the celebrations with other cities via webcam or even have projectors showing conversations on walls via any number of the Cascadia Facebook pages, twitter or one specifically made for Cascadia Day in order to help organize and promote it.
In the run up, it has been proposed an all Cascadia mp3 playlist made especially for the day. This in itself would be a fun project and we could get in touch with local radio stations to sponsor the event, work with us to develop the playlist and maybe even play the playlist throughout the day, if nothing else, jointly streaming live online.
If anyone is interested in organizing in your town or city email our event visionary Wes at wes.regan@shaw.ca. Further ideas or suggestions are welcome.
