OK folks, I've decided to have a Super Bowl party again.

[GOPisEvil]

The Super Bowl is next Sunday, February 5th. Last year's gathering went very well, so I think I'll have another. There will be food, drinks, fellowship and good times.

So, who wants to come? Let me know so I can plan for how much food to make. Oh, anyone wanting to bring something, is more than welcome to bring it on.

So far the menu is regular and roasted red pepper hummus, chili con carne and veggie chili. More menu items to follow.

Edit - oh yeah, all DU Texans and good progressives are invited. :)

1. Well that's stepping up to the plate there

I like the menu so far, sort of like our party - big tent. I think we can count on me +1.

2. I'll be there

I'll bring some of my specialty---Shiner Bock
:beer:

[GOPisEvil]

3. No one to steal it this time either!

:beer:

4. As a relative newbie DUer

Uh... where do ya live? Heehee! Huge Steeler's fan here... but, I also have a five year-old DUer in training (boy) so that may present a problem as well. :-) And, don't worry about hurting my delicate sensibilities if kids wouldn't be appropriate!

5. North Austin.

Braker/Metric is the nearest large intersection.

We did have a child in attendance last year, but so far, he'd be the only little one. If it doesn't bother you or him, it really doesn't bug me.

[catabryna]

6. Thanks!

I'll let ya know. I'm not too far away and I'd rather not watch the game by myself!

[GOPisEvil]

7. There will be plenty of food and drink as well as liberal company!

If there is anything that you or your son DON'T eat, let me know.

[GOPisEvil]

8. Kick - going to the grocery store today!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

9. Kick! Who needs directions?

:kick:

[djeseru]

10. I do! I do!

No, wait...I'm just aimless... :silly:

[GOPisEvil]

11. !!

:rofl:

[Melissa G]

12. I don't even like Football... but I do like DUers.. so please send

good directions since I'm not familiar with those neighborhoods up around Waco...:evilgrin: I do have plenty of booze to donate to the cause since i've gone yogic... not being much of a football fan also makes me good kitchen wench help..

[sonias]

13. How did you know GOPisEvil lived in Waco?

He won't admit it but it is way out there in the boonies.

Melissa I'll tell you a secret if I see you Sunday. (psst I'm not that crazy about the game either) I'm just going to discuss politics. Bring the kids!

Sonia

[GOPisEvil]

14. Hey, you two!!

Just because I live in the Pflugerville ISD is no reason to think I live in WACO! :spank: I live in Austin, Travis County, dammit!

Talking poilitics is allowed. I don't really care who wins. It's just an excuse to get together.

[Melissa G]

17. It's so easy to yank you North Austin folks chains that Sonia and I

just can't resist...:hide: You, at least, live in Austin..since I am technically registered in Sunset Valley... i miss all the local voting fun.. I work the campaigns though and for some reason folks seem to like to put my name in the occasional endorsement ad too...

[Melissa G]

15. I know, Sonia...Many of us South Austinites get lost up there in yankee

land...I'll see if i can talk my big girl into keeping me company..
Plenty to gossip about this week!

[VelmaD]

16. Dang - I'm gonna be sorry to miss this one...

but just like last year I'm headed up to the parents' house to do my nephew and brother's birthdays. Will send pictures of the (in)famous football birthday cake. :)

Y'all have fun.

[catabryna]

18. The kiddo and I will be there...

And, thank you for the PM with directions. Sorry, I couldn't respond until now. Please forgive me... I've been in Kansas for a few days! Arghhhhhh! :crazy: It always feels so good to come home after visiting such a place! :bounce:

Let me know what sort of goodies I can bring... as in, beyond beer! ;-)

[GOPisEvil]

19. Sweets are always welcome, as I don't bake.

:) Thanks!

[catabryna]

20. Well, well...

I wondered who I'd bake my annual Valentine's Day cookies for this year... looks like you are all going to be the beneficiaries!

[GOPisEvil]

21. Oh, you don't have to bake. I wasn't suggesting that.

Store-bought is fine.

But, IF, IF!!!! you decide to bake, I won't protest too much. ;)

[catabryna]

23. Trust me when I say that it's my pleasure...

I've been doing it for the last 22 years and it's one of my personal traditions that I'd like to continue!

[GOPisEvil]

24. I won't argue.

Thanks! :9

[Melissa G]

22. Hi catabryna, I'm bringing one of my daughters not sure which yet

but the both make good child playmates for younger kids..one is almost 13 the other is 10. Both are veterans of many protests..

[GOPisEvil]

25. OK, the hummuses (hummusi?) are made!

A little more than 24 hours! :kick:

[Melissa G]

26. for those of us non football types ..what time is the party starting?

edit to say yes I know I'm clueless on the topic....

[GOPisEvil]

27. Kick-off is a tad after 5.

You can show up before then, if you like. Anytime after 4, I guess. I might still be cooking, but you'd be welcome to hang out.

[GOPisEvil]

28. Wheeee!!! Y'all can show up any time after 4.

:)

[GOPisEvil]

29. Thank you, everyone, for coming.

Thanks to those that brought food and drinks! And a HUGE thank you to those that helped clean up, especially Sonia!

:hi:

[NoPasaran]

30. Thanks for having us!

:hi:

[sonias]

31. Thanks for having us over!

The chile was very tasty and the discussion was just as tasty!

I'm always on clean up crew. I was raised right. Your neighbors invite you over for dinner, you help clean up afterward. It's the neighborly thing to do.

Fair warning though, Melissa and I have decided that the next brunch is going to happen either South or in East Austin.

Sincerely
SADU
(South Austin DU)

[GOPisEvil]

33. South Austin is ok by me.

:)

[Melissa G]

32. Thanks for having us! The chile was EXCELLENT! Don't know when

I have enjoyed a bowl of red so much! Great Food, Great Company! and even a decent game to comment on.. well it just does not get a lot better than that!
Thanks GOPisEvil!

[Richardo]

34. When do you post the PIX?

sounds like a grand time, gang!

[GOPisEvil]

35. Pix?

:yoiks:

[catabryna]

36. I'm kicking this to the top...

to let you know how much fun it was to finally meet you all and put faces with names. Thanks for making this newbie feel at home. :-) But, I was a bit bummed, upon returning home to find that Dem. candidate for District 20, Jim Stauber stopped by my house that evening and I missed him... *sigh*

The house is sold, and we are closing on the 3rd, but I'm going to hit early voting before I leave!!!! I'll let you all know when we arrive safely at our new home in N. California!

Hugs to all of you and thanks again,

Carole & that busy, busy boy of hers

[Melissa G]

37. Give that boy a hug for me... Have a safe trip!

[sonias]

38. catabryna, nice meeting you and your son

Good luck to you out in CA. Don't forget to stop by the TX forum every once in a while.
