Here & There Column 2-17-09

Neversink residents Christina & Alan Buckler enjoy the 3-D event as part of this years Super Bowl game.

Super Bowl Party Becomes A 3-D Event

Super Bowl productions always seen to come up with a different touch each year and this years event added more then Bruce Springsteen's halftime show and James Harrison's 100-yard return....viewers experienced a monstrous 3D event at the end of the 2nd quarter called Monsters vs Aliens.
Several folks hosting their annual Super Bowl party noted that with a downward spiraling economy and holiday credit card bills to pay off the last thing they were going to do was notch up a spending spree and a pricey Super Bowl Party.
For football fans, winters means only one thing......"The Big Game"......and whether you're a die-hard sports fan or just eager to check out those million dollar plus commercials, no Super Bowl Sunday would be complete with friends, family, food and liquid refreshments.
Football fans certainly were treated to an action-filled Super Bowl XLIII thriller between the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Arizona Cardinals but the majority of the folks at the party my wife and I attended were still routing for the failed New York Giants.......well I even went as far as wearing my New York Giants sweatshirt.
Our afternoon activities started off with the ever growing popular Wii Bowling and chowing down on delicious snacks, sandwiches and liquid refreshments...we left Shirley's famous "lemon tort" for our halftime desert.
The folks at the party we attended seemed to enjoy Bruce Springsteen's halftime show but others we talked to felt the show was an abomination......and what about those expensive commercials....at several points of this event I was wondering if they ever would return to the actual football game.
That's a wrap on NFL football for this season but that 3-D event proved to be something else with folks staring at the big-screen TV through Intel 3-D glasses.
