Thirsty Lion 3 v 3 Street Soccer Tournament

For the third year in a row we are having a 3v3 street soccer tournament here in Portland. The first year it was held downtown at the Thirsty Lion, followed by last summers event in Pioneer Square. This year the event will be held in Tigard at the new Thirsty Lion location. Should be the perfect opportunity to showcase some of your new freestyle moves.

I had the pleasure of participating in the inaugural event outside Thirsty Lion, and it was part of my inspiration to start this blog. The idea of Pitch Black was born after playing under the lights at this tournament in front of the large crowds. I would highly recommend putting a team together for this event. Be sure to visit the website for all the details:

Golazo, Welcome to Portland

If you haven't noticed I have been absent for about 2 weeks now. The explanation is simple. I have been stuck at 199 posts since I started this site, and I wanted to celebrate my 200th post with something truly special. Well here it is folks!

Golazo Energy is set to make its much anticipated debut in the Portland market this month, and I have been given permission to post the debut commercial! The spot is brilliant and it's sure to create a buzz around the drink. Let me know what you think!

7.3 Thousand. Keep the Hits Rolling

Thank you all for supporting my little side project here. Pitch Black was created over 2 months ago to keep me busy during my free time. I had plenty of ideas that I needed to write down, and starting a blog seemed like the best way to showcase these ideas for all to see. Starting a soccer facility has been a dream of mine, and hopefully someday I can make it a reality. I have slowed down lately, but I hope to pick it up again with some fresh content. Keep on visiting and let me know what you think.
