Sports Rally on the Rooftop

Last night, my former employers, the Greater Washington Sports Alliance held a VIP reception for their annual Sneakerball Gala to toast their new inductees into the Sneakerball Hall of Champions. Eventually, I think there is actually supposed to be a Hall of Champions… but in the meantime, they’re collecting fine city sports specimens.

This year – Brian Mitchell, Brig Owens and Adrian Dantley are set to be honored at the Gala (next Tuesday at the National Building Museum).

A threat of rain had us holding our breath for the rooftop party, as did the fear of falling in the Donovan House’s rooftop pool! But the night was clear and cool. The space was filled with sports enthusiasts, businessmen, and one conspicous Teddy.

Looking forward to Tuesday when everyone will be all dressed up – and wearing sneakers!!
