USA 7's Tournament - San Diego

The USA 7's Tournament is one of several rugby 7's tournaments held throughout the world in places like Dubai, Hong Kong, New Zealand, England as well as the US. While I've never been to one personally I hear they're quite the social event and a great introduction to the sport. The USA 7's tournament is being held in San Diego this year at Petco Park (where the Padres play) on the 10th thru the 11th of February and I plan on being there. Care to join me? Check out the website here and let me know if you're interested in making it out.

I've been to Dubai and can't wait to go back. Maybe a few of you have heard about it (maybe from me or wherever else) and want to know more. Seth Stevenson from Slate has a five part piece titled, Looking for Mammon in the Muslim World , about his travels there as well as tons of pics that will tell you everything you need to know about the "Vegas of the Middle East".
