Prior to my departure, I'd thought fist-fights and drivels would overshadow the event but I must say, I totally enjoyed it.  Soccer tournament was great. My team lost in the semis. The organizers were slacking big time but I figured it wasn't indifferent as Nepali event organizers are usually lousy.  Dallas Gurkhas were backed by a bunch of corrupt officials. LA deserved to be in the final but had a goal disallowed. They totally outplayed Gurkhas and were unlucky to concede the second after Gurkhas were awarded a corner that the goalie didn't even touch.  Baltimore deservedly won it but I just don't think it's fair for former professional footballers to be allowed in such competitions. There are a ton of great amateur soccer players across the US who work their ass off for 3-4 months, only to see their efforts going down the drain while up against teams that have a number of former National players.  DJ nights sucked big time. The DJ had a pathetic music choice and more importantly, nobody in Dallas seemed to care about ANA. The crowd was sparse. The bar was slammed and the bartenders had this ridiculous rule that allowed a buyer to buy drinks for those who were accompanying the buyer!  The venue was pretty cool. The patio was awesome. I don't think ANA was that bad but nothing to rave about.  My trip was fantastic though. Shame I can't share my personal stories.  And 28th Amendment just didn't have any balls to show up!
