Seattle Sounders Infamous Footbagger

Post by Caleb »

I was in Seattle for a few days and happened across a free ticket to the Sounders game. Having a drink in a local pub, a fellow patron told me about the march before every home game, the large band, AND there is this crazy hackey sack guy at every game. I tracked him down and reunited with Justin Dale after about 10 Years of not seeing him. I'm actually not certain he remembered me immediately. Was a cool story I thought I'd share.

It's funny how things turn out. Sunday is our club kicking day here in Seattle, but everyone bailed (save Justin). We would have been downtown, but not at the game itself. If any of our members would have kicked Justin probably wouldn't have been busking at the Sounders game today.

That said as an active Seattle player it would have been awesome to meet you. I don't know if you exchanged any information with Justin, but please hit us up if you ever visit again.

Caleb, great seeing you! I wish I had a moment to stop and chat and catch up. There were so many people at that game. Many times I get real focused when doing my busking, especially since I was the only one there I wasn't really taking breaks. Seeing you totally caught me off guard. You in town much longer? Want to grab a beer?
A girl gave me a free ticket to go into the game which happens often and is pretty awesome. Great game, go Sounders!

Pretty cool that Justin's skills have caught some attention --- I mean, its one thing that other shredders know the Bustin' Justin shreds at the Sounders games, but its nicer still to hear from ordinary folk about "the crazy hacky-sack guys!". I love that stuff. Nice job.

I just got back home about 2 hours ago, man. Would have been very cool to catch up.

Bustin' Justin had quite a crowd going. I planned on showing up and doing a few whirls/spins in street shoes and jeans just for fun, but his focus was evident and the crowd was eating it up. I said 'what up' and went on my way. Good stuff. To be honest, I didn't know who I was going to run in to at the time. I couldn't think who was from that area.
