You know what would be cool? If we set up a projector and screen on the back deck.
You know what would be cooler? If we had it set up for tonight’s US match against Belgium at 5pm.

Well color us cool.
We will be playing all remaining matches (with sound) during the next two weeks on our back deck, and that includes the one tonight. We will still have it playing at the bar, of course, but this allows for much more seating as we cheer on the home team.
