After all the cross-talk (of the non-football variety) at my house during the Philly game, I decided to cut back on hosting during games. I only had one guest decided on for the SB, and then I had my Gram pass yesterday (Groundhog Day), and felt then that I couldn’t even deal with the one friend … a Chicago boy. I think I’ll re-invite – he’s a serious football guy for a Bears fan, and at least has Black ‘n’ Blue Division loyalty.

Here in the 95621, a couple hours from Aaron’s hometown where my Uncle still lives, it is hard to find folks I want to see the game with, so it’s just me and the kids, and usually homemade chili. The two older girls grew up here, but bleed green and gold. The oldest (in the Navy now, in San Antonio) got kicked out of the enlisted common room deep into the Falcons game for getting too happy. My 9-year-old son, though, is a Packer through and through, and will watch the whole game now (though he likes to distract himself with bionicles when it gets too close).

It’s hard, having grown up in the 54301, to hear of friends down on Washington Street without me, but the love and the joy reach far.

My only wish is that I could find a retro t-shirt with the receiver over the football over the WI state outline logo. That’s all I want now and my life will be complete.

welcome to Packergeeks Susannah! And nicely done with the party – spreading the Packer love! Packer fans have a certain infectiousness about them that makes folks around them enjoy the moment more. We know how to have fun. If you want to send pictures – go for it!

say hi to your mom and dad and Cec too.

When the Packers got into the Playoffs my sister and I decided we needed to host a party for our NC friends… to show them how it’s done where we come from. Since most of our guests were women and my NCnative husband doesn’t really get into sports ~ we decided to add a little pizzaz to the afternoon and titled our event PackersDiscoPlayoffsParty! I downloaded all the Packer music I could find online and set-up the stereo so that at every commercial I hit mute and cranked up the dance tunes ~ and at half time had the TV connected to the internet and danced to “Fly Like a Cheesehead” video! In an instant we had 20 new die-hard female Packer fans! PackersDiscoPlayoffsParty2 was even bigger….. and PackersDiscoPlayoffsParty3 was completely off da hook!!!!!

It was after they kicked Atlanta’s azz that I realized we needed to cut our vacation in St. John (where we are right now! ~ heaven!) a day short to be sure not to let flight delays or weather stand in the way of our front row spot in front of the flat screen! I had to use 35,000 extra miles to change our tickets to come home on Sat… (trip to Europe or watch SuperBowl?! – no contest but I can’t think of a better way to spend my 39th birthday week ~ sailing & snorkling ~ and going home to watch Mr. Rodgers win his ring!

Even better ~ I’ll be watching the game with my Mom & Dad, sister, husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and the 30 new Packer fantatics that were born in my living room this season!!!!

Thanks Andy, for allowing me to put all this energy into words! I’ll be a regular on your site now (thanks for sending the link John!) and I’ll be sure to share pictures of all our PackerDiscoParties! Also, let me know if you need some Packer music ~ happy to share the $30+ itunes I’ve downloaded!

GO PACK GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ~*~<3~*~

I’m stuck here in N. Carolina, where I moved from Wisco a few years ago. I was thinking about inviting a bunch of friends from school over but in the end decided I didn’t want to have to entertain a bunch of disinterested people while I live and die by the play of the game so my little sister is going to cook up a bunch of football food, and the family is going to drink a lot of beer and stay up aaaaallll night. Should be a good time regardless.

Road-tripping with my brother’s band squint to Dallas on Saturday (they’re playing at some club called The Bone–I know nothing about it but if you show up I’ll buy you a beer). Not sure what we’re doing Sunday yet–Jerry wants to charge for breathing in the vicinity of his stadium, so it won’t be as cool as New Orleans was (as reported by my brother). Looking for options to watch the game and hang with fellow Cheeseheads. It would be a shame to make the trip and just end up going to a bar–I can do that in Austin.

In the living room like the other play-off games with my wife and son. However, for this game, my son is bringing along his college housemates. I’d like to think he is returning home in order to watch it with his Dad, but the 55″ SONY doesn’t hurt either. He and I have made annual trips to Lambeau from Cincinnati the past 4 years and this year tossed in the debacle in Detroit.
A couple years ago while on vacation in Miami I promised him that he and I could get matching packer tattoos, when the pack win the big one. I had hoped he had forgotten that promise. After the Bears game, he reminded me of the promise.
We will have chilli on the stove and adding grilled cheese sandwiches and metts to go with it, Leinies in the fridge.

Work has been impossible this week. I’ve already asked for next Monday off; either too groggy from celebrating and wanting to watch the team greet back in GB on TV; or too depressed to want to see ppl at work.

We will be watching at home. Considered going to the game for 8 days before finally deciding it did not make sense at the prices we were seeing. (We did go to XXXI and XXXII, but that was when our income was higher!) We are having just a few friends over to watch the game with us – if we had a big group we would not really be able to watch the game, which is paramount. Our friend Myles will be with us. He is sort of an adopted Packer fan friend (originally a Dolphins fan). But we took him to a couple of games at Lambeau Field, and he is pretty much all in now. He came to watch all 3 playoff games with us, so he is a good luck mascot.
