I'm sure people are going to be dropping in here to say hi and thanks and share their experiences of the trip. Just want to just quickly say Thank you to Lon and Scott.
INCREDIBLY THOUGHTFUL HOSTS
Everybody appreciated your generosity and efforts.
MysterMatt is fine. He made it to the game and bought me a steak dinner sometime around midnight. Somehow we stayed up and out and drank until the bar closed AGAIN. That's a full weekend of non-stop drinking.
How do I do it?
Not sure but I'll be doing it again next weekend in Indy.
Met a lot of great new people. Including Sherm's mom.
And I didn't offend anyone (that I know of) except for Seatown and TechWorlds but they're my bros so I have a chance to win back their love.
Go Hawks!
No doubt. I heard you trying to say "Drink up, I don't want to transport all of this booze" but it was a hoarse whisper.pmedic920":2cqgpa76 said:Am I the only one that is still hoarse.

My voice box recovered late last night.
I truly suck.

Well at least we finish off the punch. I poured the last 3 cups for a couple of distraught Texan fans. I hope they made it home. They told me they weren't driving.

Nick and I ran into BFS in line outside the gate and had the pleasure of climbing the endless ramps with him to the upper levels. Along the way he told us about all the games he had been to over the years, all over this great land too. Dude is a road game MONSTER. I was taken by one of his jobs as a counselor for youth-gone-bad. Can't say enough about this guy, so cool on so many levels. And that beard is awesome! Makes me want to grow one.
After all of that, I didn't get an explanation of the "glitter over knives" rank...

BFS is known for his zeal in taking Seahawks colored glitter and showering his friends with it at Temple or other gatherings. The knife thing was an unfortunate incident in which he was attempting to play peacemaker between a Vikings and Packers fan in a bar dispute. Lief had calmed things down and was stepping outside for a breath of air when one of the combatants followed him out and knifed him. It was in the news and made national headlines.
I think Lief opted not to press charges but it was a very deep and traumatic injury. He shared pictures with his friends. All can laugh about it now but it was insane that someone would attack a peacemaker after the fact and in a cowardly manner, almost taking the man's life. BFS is a complex yet worldly guy.
