For my last podcast of the year, I talk to my good friend and former Washington Renegades teammate Roberto Santiago, who is a referee with the Northern California Rugby Referee Society. He shares some stories from his playing days and how diversity in the sport can offer some surprising perks. We also talk about the transition from player to referee, the challenges facing the societies and teams in the US, and his future aspirations.
As I posted recently, the ladies of the Village Lions are launching their 2010 calendar this Saturday, December 19th.
The event kicks off at 4pm at the Bull Moose Salon (44th and 9th ave in NYC) and working its way through the a few bars in Hells Kitchen. There is a $20 cover for a "discount beer" bracelet and you also get one of the calendars.
