ANOTHER ONE FOR THE AGES...

My apologies for the late post; I'm still trying to recover from a long, yet fun day. Yesterday's Super Bowl proved to be one of the more memorable games in recent Super Bowl history. What was predicted to be a sure blow-out victory for the Pittsburgh Steelers turned into a nail-biting thriller that the favored Steelers were lucky to win. The whole day was filled with anticipation and bravado as fans of both teams tried to stake a claim for victory for their respective teams.

The party itself was a success as members of the SUNDAY BREW CREW went out in predictable style, with tons of funny moments, PLENTY of gentleman's drinks, a cornucopia of food to choose from, lots of playful flirtations going on (yeah, I see things folks) and a great game to boot.

Some moments that stand out include:

*DIRTY SANCHEZ playing the dutiful boyfriend by safeguarding tables for his girlfriend and her "hot" entourage of friends. He ended up guarding the tables for over three hours, much to the chagrin of all of his mates. For that, he got the "Ball and Chain" Apple Martini Award.


*The neighborhood's most EXPENSIVE calzone. T-BILL and NAPOLEON DYNAMITE decided that they were pretty hungry so instead of waiting for the FREE halftime buffet, they figured that they would order a calzone to tide them over. So after looking over the various menus we have on file, they decided to order one from PATSY'S down the street. After a few minutes, their delivery came as well as the bill...

Yes, the bill for TWO calzones came out to $43.00!

And the sad part? It wasn't even that great. Ouch.

*NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. This guy was just a sight to behold throughout the course of the afternoon. From the moment he arrived at 12:23pm to the moment his beloved Steelers eked out a hard-fought victory and he began shedding tears like the poor fat guy from Deliverance, he had everyone in hysterics. I'm only kicking myself for not having my camera on "Video" mode to capture all of his antics. Check out the timeline:

Talk about the "Decline of Western Civilization" as we know it....

There were a lot of people in attendance, and more importantly (at least to me), a lot of chicks. They seem to come out of the woodwork during Super Bowl time, which is fine with me. There were also a fair amount of tourists who were there, more out of curiosity than anything and that added to the fun.

Nothing like getting a visit from some of my favorite former students!

Ok.. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

A few travellers from Australia and England, taking in the whole Super Bowl Experience...

And so it goes. Overall it was a great experience and as always, a fitting end to a great football season. Now that it's over, we move on to the "official" winter sports season, and upcoming events like the annual "Anti-Valentine's Day Bash" (2/14), Fat Tuesday (2/24), March Madness (early March), the Elephant Parade Party (mid-March) and of course, St. Patrick's Day.

In the meantime, check in from time to time, either here or at our website for the latest happenings. More photos to come....
