This is primarily to aid in a conversation occurring on Twitter, but if some New England friends see this here and are interested do let me know!

So I thought it might be fun to do a little Superbowl gathering at our place, but  jasepanda pointed out that, as we have neither cable nor broadcast signal, we can't guarantee a quality stream of the game and should not plan a "Superbowl" party. However...



We're thinking about having some folks over on Sunday, Feb 3rd. There will be food. There will be games. There will probably be a stream of the Superbowl, but we cannot guarantee such. In the spirit of the game, I'm thinking we'll do pizzas (mix 'n match toppings!) and a side of some sort, then guests are free to bring munchies, beverages, or other sides. As this happens to coincide with  lunostophiles's birthday, there may also be cake. Yes, I will definitely try to make cake.



So... yes... interested parties let us know! We can tentatively start gathering early afternoon and hang through the end of the game (or until people have to leave).


Edit: We are open to moving this to Saturday if that might be more amenable to peoples' schedules. We'll probably stick with the food theme though, of course, there would be no game to watch.

Update:

So we went from a few "can only do Saturday" and a few "can only do Sunday" to everybody saying "yeah, Saturday is great!" We will definitely have a full house, but I do think we can manage it!

We have a limited number of board games available. If you have any favorites or something new to try, please do bring them along! Multiplayer video games are also welcome, though we only have two controllers each on the 360 and PS3 so bring extras as well if you can!

We will be doing pizzas with a variety of topping, some sort of potato related side, and then cake for dessert. We will have a limited selection of beverages available (coffee drinks, hot and iced tea, some soda). Munchies and other appetizers are welcome and encouraged, as are other beverages.

If you have any idea as to what you might bring, please leave comments bellow.

See you all Saturday!
