VfB Stuttgart has a clinic in Pflugerville this weekend and are part of a sports information (maybe? I am unclear) track for SXSW, so they had a watch party at The Pub (formerly Fado) for today's match vs Union Berlin. We won 2-0, but better than that, I'm pretty sure I was the only American there, so they hooked me up with a home jersey and set of decals. Got to talk to a bunch of club employees, and others tangentially connected. Coolest convo was with the data guy - their version of Peter Brand/Paul DePodesta. Another dude works for the construction company currently renovating the stands for Euro Cup play. Another was with Stuttgart business development - if you're a Porsche guy, they have a brand experience deal going on at Brazos Lofts that doesn't require a badge. Got to talk Germany and Stuttgart and sports with a bunch of folks who live on the other side of the world, but I have a connection with - pretty good afternoon, for sure.
