UPDATE (9.23.08) : Well, as you can see, the migration is complete.  Sorry about the interruption of service yesterday.  The hamster got stuck in the habitrail.

As you were.

Hey everybody, Gaffer here.

This weekend, our hosting service will be moving the site from one server cluster to another.  This will help us with some functionality in the future, allowing us to bring some very nice features to the site that are not currently available to us.

The hosting service has warned that our site may be down for up to 6 hours while the DNS Caches.

Please be patient if this is the case.  We will be making the switch some time tomorrow evening, most likely during the match at LA.

Cheers,

Gaffer

Next D.C. United Game

LA Galaxy-DC United

Saturday, Sept 20

Home Depot Center

Carson, CA

Kick off 11 pm ET

Yeah, so with the late kick off we’re thinking many of you are going to watch at home in your jammies so there are no planned viewing parties for this coming Saturday.

If you wish to chat with fellow SEs during the game (or want to let us know what your jammies look like) you can join the Virtual Viewing Party through AIM

1. Under the “People” menu choose “Send Chat Invitation” or “Chat” (or press alt-c).
2. In the “Screen names to invite” window type your AOL/AIM screen name.
3. In the “Chat room” window type in SEViewingParty.
4. Click the “send” or “invite” button.

Fellow SE on Stage TONIGHT (Sept 18)

Thursday night, SE Eric Axelson’s band Statehood - whose song “Jailer’s Daughter” has been a regular on our tailgate playlist most of this season - is playing the backstage at the Black Cat (1811 14th Street, NW, near the intersection of 14th and S). They’re opening up for the recently re-formed Dischord Records band Faraquet. Doors open at 9 PM, and several SEs will be in attendance. Tickets are $8 and there are only around 75 of them left, so either order in advance or show up early

Washington, DC

Sept 20, 2008 — 9am to noon

Join fellow DC United fans as we again help out on International Coastal Cleanup Day and put our efforts into cleaning up our favorite riverbank (and you can see what Poplar Point looks like).

D.C. United supporters of all ages are welcome to participate and we are certainly expecting a great turnout for this community outreach activity.

The site we’ve chosen is located at Anacostia Park. We will all meet around the picnic tables that are covered beside the small playground. Use the Nicholson Street entrance to the park, you’ll see a parking lot and the picnic area on the left.

Bring sunscreen, bug repellant, a hat and long heavy rubber gloves (heavy duty kitchen gloves are good)

Please drop us a note at outreach@screaming-eagles.com if you want to pitch in and for more information. You can sign up at the tailgate on Saturday, Sept 13.

Congrats to Sarah !

Sarah Black is today’s winner of the SE Name that Tune contest (see his winning entry in the 45 below) so she’ll have a free tailgate today.
