I already made a thread about this...but I'm going to post it here too, simply because I want those 50 points!

I had a very unreal and lucky experience this year to attend the Super Bowl in style. A lifelong friend of mine is kind of a bigshot in the TV world.....and he was able to get us all kinds of hooked up for all the festivities.....and the best part is....the whole trip never cost me a dime!

We stayed 3 nights at the Bud Light Hotel in downtown Dallas. Great rooms, and an unbelievable bar in the lobby. Anheuser-Busch took over the entire place, so the only people staying here were VIP guests. I saw Barry Sanders, Ryan Howard, Darelle Revis, etc.... all staying right down the hall from my room. Friday night before the game we had invites to the Playboy Super Bowl Party. Lots of playmates and big-time athletes. It was actually a fairly small setting, so everyone who was there was very accessible and great to talk too. Snoop Dogg played, and although I'm not a huge fan of his....it was cool to see him in such a small venue. Sat nite was the Budweiser party. It was basically the same as the nite before, with Nelly and Keisha performing. I like Nelly, and he put on a great show.
The day of the game we headed to the ESPN tailgate party, which to be honest, wasn't all that great. OchoCinco was there, as well as a few others, but the food kinda sucked, and it was a little bit of a bore.

The game was awesome. We watched the entire thing from Anheuser-Busch's suite, which is on the Hall of Fame level (about 20 rows up) on the 40 yd line. There was only about 12 people in the entire suite, one of which was Kevin Harvick. You wouldn't believe the spread they put out for this game. Prime Rib, Shrimp, etc.... Each suite has a private bathroom and fully stocked bar. I guess this is part of what you get when you drop a million bucks.

Like I said, the whole event was almost surreal. This is the first Super Bowl I've ever attended, and to see it like this is obviously a chance of a lifetime.

I don't consider myself exactly "Big Time"......but, at least for this Super Bowl weekend......it sure felt like I was!!
