Conner didn't know who he'd impressed to get passes to almost all the World Cup games, but he wasn't arguing, and he was definitely enjoying himself so far. Sprawled out on his bed in his hotel room, he had his laptop out in front of him, having just gotten off a Skype call with Ethan. (He still didn't get why Ethan had laughed so hard when he'd ( Read more... ) -
Conner's Voicemail
Hey, you've reached Conner McKnight. Leave a message, will ya? I'm not as fast as I used to be but I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Reefside, California, Wednesday Evening
He'd spent forever teasing Ethan about being that nerd in the basement in front of a computer, but somehow over the past few months the McKnight basement had gotten converted into Conner's personal office.

It wasn't often that the old gang was all back together in one place; Conner spent a lot of time traveling to drum up sponsorship and league affiliations for his soccer camp, which was growing faster and more successfully than he'd ever anticipated it would (he'd have to split it into two separate camps this upcoming summer), Ethan spent his ( Read more... ) -

The impossible had happened: Conner's car had broken down. Naturally this would happen when he was on a road trip, on his way out to Illinois to meet with a few youth league coaches out there; he'd been thinking of forming a sort of buddy program between his league and theirs ( Read more... ) -

It was a good time of year, if you were Conner McKnight; UEFA Champions League was in season and the fifty million satellite channels at the Cyberspace meant he didn't have to miss a game if he didn't want to. Unless there were more than two on at the same time; picture-in-picture did have its limitations, after all ( Read more... ) -
Silver Hills, Washington, Friday Fandom Time
It'd happened to Conner before, so when he woke up and looked into the mirror in his hotel room he had to pause, admire himself, and grin. "Oh, yeah. Can't argue with a classic ( Read more... ) -
Briarwood, California, Thursday Afternoon Fandom Time
Day three of the statewide youth soccer league tournament, and Conner's team from Reefside was sitting handily in first place with a five-point lead over the team from Stone Canyon. Actually, as the final whistle blew, that'd be an eight-point lead since his left defensive back, and man was he proud of that kid, had scored a glancing header in the ( Read more... )
