This Week's "In The Mixer" Podcast & Aztex Watching Party Update - August 24, 2010

Austin Aztex & Kenya National Team Midfielder Lawrence Olum is this week's guest on In The Mixer. In this podcast, he talks about his playing time in the U.S., how he feels playing for the Kenyan National Team and discussions on Aztex's season so far as they continue toward to top of the table. Plus check out Olum's latest "new project". ;-) You can listen to the episode online as well as download in at Chantico's Army website here.

Also, congratulations to former Austin Aztex defender Gareth Evans for making on the 1st team of USL-2 (Third Division). Evans anchored one of the league’s stingiest backlines for Real Maryland Monarchs.

The Austin Aztex will be traveling to the Northwest for two matches this week as they play the Portland Timbers on Thursday (August 26) at 9 p.m. and Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday (August 29) at 6 p.m. The Aztex Watching Party will now be at Mister Tramps at 8565 Research Boulevard. While we here at Chantico's Army and Aztex Nation really appreciate Cuatros for allowing us to host the event and will still remain the Austin Aztex post-match gather place, we feel that it would be better at this time of the season to move the watching party to Mister Tramps. Considering the fact that college football is about to start (which Cuatros is near the UT campus), NFL getting ready for their season and cricket's bastard step-child of a sport called baseball (no offence to local baseball fans here ;-) ) still in season, it would be better off to watch at a soccer-friendly environment like Mister Tramps instead of being crowded out by the others sports in the pub. So make sure you be there this Thursday to cheer on your Aztex at Mister Tramps. Hope to see you there.

* Note from the last 2 links: Please don't even bother reading that "rumor" site. It's a waste of time and not worth of having your brain cells exposed to their content. Having them mentioning that Austin & Rochester is going to division 3 is a total joke to itself. The Aztex are firmly to be in divsion 2 for next season and beyond. So please don't believe the hype.

Note: Please listen to the In The Mixer Podcast as I was their guest on the show as well as Arch Bell from Futbol en Vivo to talk about the Aztex's season so far and what's going on in the current state of USSF D2. My apologies if my microphone was awful from the show and being a nervous "newbie" really showed it but had a good time. Many thanks to Matthew & Eric for having me & Arch on the show and I'm looking forward to many more to come (rather it's listening to the show or being back on it).
