Soundwave Moving to the North End
The big news coming from Qwest Field today is that the band will be moving to the North End of Qwest Field.
Leaving its spot on the southern endline, Soundwave will have a specific section right below the Hawk’s Nest in an effort to “enhance the energy in the North End,” according to Bart Wiley.
Alliance & Sound Wave Win Membership Vote
It was slightly lost in last night’s Fashion Show post, but Drew Carey indeed did mention that the Membership Association would be called Alliance and that the Sounders FC Marching Band would be called Sound Wave.
Begin Commentary…
Dear Front Office, would you please get rid of the FSN logo out of OUR logo?

As you also know, some dude named noah must be building something somewhere b/c it has be raining like a mother-father. to say i haven’t been sleeping would be an understatement. have you ever dealt with sleep deprivation. it is trippy stuff man. if you could can it up and sell on the street you would be rich.
SOOOOOOO. my desire to blog was curbed quite a bit. but with that, the roof is going to be completed today, i have been catching up on my sleep, and i was able to get 15 minutes 1×1 time with drew last night before the members meeting. so there is a lot to talk about. i mean a lot. Read more
