Falls Church, VA (USA)

I realized this morning that it has been a few years since I watched the Super Bowl at an actual party. My friend, Kim, told me she was hosting a get-together for this year's edition. Since I moved to Northern Virginia, I've been over to her place a couple of times - and I was able to find the place without a map this time. On the weekend, with no traffic, it only takes about 20 minutes. Too bad it isn't that easy every day... Brought some of my favorite beer - Blue Moon. Kim had set up a nice spread, complete with large pizzas (from a local place - not a chain). The game wasn't very exciting - back and forth but not a lot of exciting plays (except for the first-ever 2-0 score, due to a intentional grounding safety). Halftime show included Madonna (the kids there said "who is that old lady?"). Some funny ads (bulldog racing greyhounds, baby & grandma stealing Doritos, Matthew Broderick replays Ferris Bueller's Day Off). Last 10 minutes of the game was pretty tense. A good party - but sort of a disappointing ending to the game. Said goodbye around 2200 and drove home (quick again).
