Nicola,
I just read the story in your blog....
I've always meant to ask you, do the ppl you associate with over there know your an American ??
I know that Italy has its share of liberal fvcks who hate Americans, so I always wondered how you got on there
As far as your story (or should I say "incident" !!), that really sucks that you had to go thru that
I remember a Sabres game I went to years back when someone sitting behind me thru a big cup of beer on the Montreal Canadiens fans below us, and they looked back and saw me standing up, so they immediately thought I did it
At the end of the game, the 3 of them confronted me, and I tried to reason with these drunken Canadians (I wasnt even old enough to drink yet... I was only 18 I kept telling them)
I am happy to announce that only 2 of the 3 needed medical attention. The third only needed to see his dentist !!!
I'd have your back Nick, in a New York minute (if I even get over there !!)
