The last couple of years I have sort of stumbled upon the Super Bowl on the day itself and ended up watching quite a lot of it, last year I even ended up watching it till the very end. I gues it will be clear by now that I’m not situated in the US:), I am in situated in Holland and the game usually kicks off just after midnight. I thought about going to one of the (very, very few) superbowl parties, but these are all in Amsterdam and I don’t feel like negotiating the night trains at 5 at night, also I’d like to do some (not a lot) work on monday so the less time between the final whistle (do they use whistles in footballthatsplayedwithyourhands :dubious:) and bed, the better.
I’m not a die hard follower of the sport (can’t watch it through my cable package) but know the basic rules through playing a bit of Madden and watching the occasional game when I get the chance. Still I don’t need any advice on what team to root for, having one team in the game that has fans that are called ‘cheeseheads’ sort of makes it impossible for anyone with my nationality to not root for that team. So Packers it is:p
Now that I’ve decided to do the Super Bowl properly, instead of stumbling upon it and battle against sleep for 3 hours, I need to set up this ‘party’. Given the time of the game and the fact that my friends don’t care and/or need to work on monday, I probably will be watching alone (maybe Putnams next book?*) so I probably won’t go too overboard with cooking etcetera, but any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
I assume beer and cheese will be envolved:D
