AFC Championship Party

Just a few friends over to help me celebrate - This was many of the 76 person crowd as we took a half-time break!

 The season which overwhelmed me on many levels included the most outstanding Patriot Celebration I had ever attended.  I was the New England Patriot Fan of the Year.  The Patriots had just defeated the Oakland Raiders in what shall be a legendary snow-bowl to close out the final game ever at Foxboro Stadium.  Now they faced the Pittsburgh Steelers for the AFC Championship and victory would send the Patriots to the Superbowl along with their Fan of the Year!  In fact I'd be departing for the Rosie O'Donnell show the very next morning when New England properly defeated the Steelers.  For my part I was hosting a gathering of friends to help me appreciate and savor the game.  New England Cable News was sending a satellite truck to ensure live footage from my home.  We were ready for the big event!

While I cannot do justice to the party or my many great friends who made it such an outstanding experience, this will be the pictorial review of an event which will always be well placed in my mind as the most outstanding party I have ever hosted.

 

We let NECN cover the film angle while we just celebrated!

No doubt each picture deserves a story of it's own but for now they are simply a few words of identification.
