Case 4:
Scenario: Santa Monica and San Diego promenades
Result: Santa Monica - Praise from a funky Italian-accented young man say "ehhhh Galaxzie. Beckham!" followed by props from an Adidas store rep as I walked by the store in a cheap knockoff. (FYI, the real Beckham jersey won't be available until after he actually arrives which will be next month.)
San Diego - Random dude in a group "Galaxy rocks, hell yeah!" and high-fives me. Has to explain his actions to the group he's with FTW. "That's MLS man. Major League Soccer"
