Bring Your Child to Strike Day!

I kid you not... this is today's message from the head of the Writers Guild of America:

WRITERS ON STRIKE - DAY 8:

BRING YOUR KIDS!
 
We invite all of our WGA members and union supporters to bring their children to walk the picket lines at various locations throughout the Los Angeles area in support of writers on strike against studios and networks that make up the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

Anyways, it's MLS Cup week - and to be honest, I find that I miss it. (I've attended every Cup except the first one - when Eddie Pope scored in the rain.) MLS Cup is a fantastic celebration for everyone associated with the league for their year's efforts. Plus, DC is the best venue for the Cup - the nation's capital has great hotels, restaurants, pubs, and the final attracts great fans. So I'll have some more thoughts about the Cup this week (far more interesting than the strike), plus insights from special 'Hat Rack correspondents in the nation's capital.
