(Click on pic to see full action)If any of you have ever lived in a city where the Super Bowl has taken place, you know the madness that it creates. People pour into the city, traffic is crazy, cover charges sky rocket and there is a celebrity party at every bar, even the dives. Our little west valley of Phoenix was taken over by the madness last week. Here was my schedule of events:
Thursday Night: My friend Kate got us tickets to the Pepsi Smash SuperBowl concert featuring Maroon 5 and Mary J Blige with a special performance by Ne-Yo. It was hosted by Jerry O'Connell (how he still gets work is beyond me) and various NFL players. Maroon 5 was fabulous - Mary J. has an excellent voice but sang about her relationship drama for two hours - No more drama my ass!!! hahah
Friday Night: Kate came through in the clutch again by getting us on the VIP list to LLCoolJ's party in Scottsdale. We show up at the Venue and are greeted by Royce - a friend of Kate's client who apparently was running the show - dressed in a white suit. I know, that is a big take it easy. Anyway, he put $800 wrist bands on us and told us to go have fun. As if access to free alcohol, hanging with Joey Fatone and his entourage and listening to LL Cool J perform isn't enough - we got to see cousin Carlton from Fresh Price do his Carlton dance on stage with LL Cool J. What could be better?
Saturday: One huge sporting event isn't enough for the city, so let's throw in a PGA event too. The FBR Open was taking place in Scottsdale this same weekend and my realtor hooked us up with passes so Jeremy and I went with Angie for a nice day of golf....so we thought. Take spring break and mix it with Happy Gilmore and you have the FBR Open. Girls were wearing pretty much bathing suits and everyone was DRUNK. It was like being in Panama City but instead of a beach you have a golf course. Guys were getting in fights, a guy next to us was standing one second and then passed out the next. It was wild...
Sunday: Ok, by now I am completely drained and almost forgot that there was even a football game attached to the festivities. Our friends Jen and Andrew threw a nice Super Bowl party with a ton of food and drinks which was a great ending to a great week. I was in bed by 9pm to catch a 7am flight....
I am still recovering ;-)

Sounds like a great time. "A big take it easy?" That needs some explaining, or maybe not. Arizona sounds awesome, I'm trying to get the wife to consider either AZ, Florida, or North Carolina as places to live...not much luck so far.
HEY JOEY!!!
