| 6/24/26 Project 9 Brewery, Maple Leaf neighborhood |
With my usual fervent indifference toward all professional
sports, I hadn’t participated in any of Seattle’s FIFA fever. Although I hoped
that my city would be a good host for this global event, my interest ended
there. As I’ve learned from past experiences (see my sketches at watch parties
for the Mariners and the Super Bowl), my entry into any subject I
have no interest in is always sketching.
Last Wednesday’s noontime match between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Qatar seemed like a good opportunity to give it a shot. I certainly had no intention of joining the massive mobs downtown. Instead, I walked over to my favorite neighborhood watering hole, Project 9 Brewing Company. Maybe my expectations were too high for something called a watch “party.” Or maybe Maple Leaf doesn’t have many fans of the Bosnia-Herzegovina or Qatar teams. In any case, except for one sudden roar, patrons remained quiet. Facing away from the four huge screens available for viewing, a few people kept working on their laptops.

Enjoying my lunch of Mexican Seoul’s usual tasty burrito bowl with a NA beer, I had the most fun trying to capture a few gestures of close-up action on the screen.
There – I participated in Seattle’s historic sports hosting event. Now, will everyone please go home so that I can go downtown again?
