Mixing Soccer with Business

I've been going to Chicago quite often lately with my job.  We are working with one customer in particular recently, and one of the guys there mentioned he plays pick-up soccer.  I asked more about it, and he gave me details and said I'm welcome to play any time I'm in town when they're playing (which is twice a week, Tuesday night and Thursday night).  Today I had to fly to Chicago for a morning meeting, and then I have to stay overnight for a meeting tomorrow, leaving me with a free evening.  Because I love playing soccer so much, I wasn't going to miss the opportunity.  I had packed all my gear in my carry-on, and I met up with them earlier this evening, playing for about 90 minutes.  It was a ton of fun, and I'm looking forward to doing it again at my next opportunity.
