Inexplicably, the Princess and I were invited to, and actually decided to attend a Superbowl party. We know almost nothing about football, we didn’t know what teams were playing, and until we called to ask, we had assumed this thing would start around 2pm and be over by 6. Surprise!

Superbowl parties sound pretty casual – jerseys and face paint etc, but considering our host and the likely attendees, we figured he could wear jeans and a button up shirt, and I should simply keep it casual without painting my face in unknown team colours. I refused to wear flats.

The food was yummy – they had a huge buffet, which included a full turkey dinner! The people were friendly and fun – half the guest were in the same boat as The Princess and myself and knew nothing about football. The other half were pretty appalled at our having to ask who was playing. We decided to route for New York and were well rewarded!
