Chicago Rush

Dancin' Steve is back. I threw a SuperBowl party after the opening Rush game. I'm still unsure whether the new season schedule will benefit the league or not. They decided to start the season two weeks early this year. The first games were played in the off week petween the NFL playoffs and the SuperBowl. This meant that the home opener for the Rush was on SuperBowl Sunday. That game was noon-3:00pm, then the SuperBowl started at 5:00pm. I had just enough time to get two fiesta pizzas from our new Aurelio's in South Elgin, two growlers of beer from Emmett's in West Dundee, and get home before my guests arrived.
The party was a huge success. We served sushi from Costco, a vegie tray, a fruit tray, turkey roll sandwiches, a cheese log, chips, dip, tortillas, guacamole, salsa, chili dip, spinach dip, brownies, and turtle cheesecake.
There were 32 people in the house. The theater was full. There were about 14 people in there. I even got some folding chairs to go in there. The 100" HDTV picture was great.
