Although the first half of the weekend was marred by illness, the Crew managed to pull together a fairly righteous Sunday. The
German National Team played Poland in the
Euro '08 tournament and we had magically acquired about 10 liters of
Warsteiner happy juice.
We did what any sensible
Austinite would do under the circumstances... we drank beer, ate sausage, potato salad and tried our best to understand just what the hell
offsides is all about...
We love logos... especially ones with green hippie dots and shadowy figures kickin' balls.
J got the party started by tonging a wiener.
DJ-Hey calmed himself before the carnage.
Meanwhile, the Crew relaxed in their traditional fashion.
The zoom lens transported us right onto the field... just in time for J to get one of her famous art shots.
This seemingly gruesome moment had us worried until we found out he was faking it.
Unfortunately for
Jogi, this was all there was to see. Following this shocking image, the crowd was cleared from the stadium and given complimentary
psychoherapy sessions.
After a few hours, the crowd was able to continue and the game was back on!
Ol' Dad's art shot didn't turn out so well... especially since it involved, um... motion.
Klose gibt ein gutes Beispiel, wie man als Mädchen läuft.
With every point, Schweinsteiger solidified plans for the Underground Berlin Victory Rave.
The Polish National Team, on the other hand, cried like babies.
Enraptured by the upcoming win, J snapped a photo of her hero... no, the other Michael ;)
Not content with merely stomping the competition into the ground, Mario Gómez used the Crane Technique to snatch the ball at the last minute.
When the dust settled, the score was 2:0 for Germany. The winners each popped an Ecstasy and got ready for the celebration in Underground Berlin later that evening.
The Poles, however, were less than pleased. This man was later arrested for harassing a sheep along the Austrian border fifty kilometers from Schwangau.
The Germans were, um... delighted.
And that was the end of the first German match of Euro '08! We're all hoping the team wins their game against Croatia on Thursday. We'll be watching, of course ;)
Giddy from the win, we headed upstairs to find something to cushion the blow of the five liters of Warsteiner we drank during the game. We couldn't find anything really healthy, so...
Apfelkuchen!
After the sweet sensation of victory was purged from our system, we went to see
The Cure at
Austin Music Hall. Check out a
review of the show at
Austin360.
Bathed in phosphorescent green light,
The Cure proceeded to assault the fragile senses of the maximum capacity crowd of 4400. I hope I can still have babies...
