One of the 'youngsters' (as in younger than my own kids) I work with runs a video production facility with a small sound stage. He throws a super bowl party every year...pot luck, byob...decorates the stage like a swingin' singles club with bar tables/stools and sofas, projects the game on an entire wall, sets up a bar, buffet tables, the works. It's great fun even if I am the oldest (by far) person there...unless his boss stops in. The boss and I end up commisserating in a corner about all the energy we had when we were those youngsters ages!
I'm always flattered to be invited and all of that group calls me tutusue! They're a great bunch.
Oh...and I'm looking forward to the commercials!

Reason: forgot the most important part!
I remember in the bad old days of the first few Superbowls when they were played a week or so after New Years Day instead of the end of January. We'd go to one of my great-uncle and aunt's houses with some of my Mom's other relatives and the guys would have their beer and pupus and watch the game and play cards and the wahines would all congregate in the kitchen and cook more food and yack away for a couple of hours. And us kids would get bored with the game (and the adults) and we'd run outside and play instead.

Myself and a few friends are breaking in my old bosses 50 inch and his new condo. He promises some heavy pupus too, lol. I got a case and an official NFL hat on da line with my bro who's giving me a field goal. GO BEARS!!
Some views around The Shack Hawaii Kai yesterday...
Rose the Budweiser Girl
OH MY GOD! This is why I still say Hawaii has the most beautiful women in the world. She's really cool too, taking a few minutes to take pictures and talk with me. She handed out raffle tickets and pulled numbers for prizes, including logo shirts and football souvenir items. My ticket didn't pulled though. Shucks. Too bad Rose had to leave early to attend other SB events.
She liked this shot better...
Rose the Budweiser Girl (preferred pic). Absolutely gorgeous.
And of course the crowd...
Every year Brendan rents those projection screens, but I don't really care for 'em as the picture looks washed out. I much prefer the sharp, vividness of the CRTs and 42" Plasma (those are permanent there), which is what my eyes were planted on (after Rose left). lol
Third photo down is Brendan "Da Ref", The Shack's owner, and Joe, one of the food runners. It was so busy, the kitchen had a hard time keeping up.
The last photo, as you see, was the KGMB field crew doing a live remote broadcast after the game, interviewing Brendan and filming the crazy crowd.
It was a great time, regardless of the Bear's loss.
