What is that look all about?

Delicious Meathouse chicken.  You can't beat The Meathouse!

This truck was parked near us.  It's an oil delivery truck that's been converted
into a portable kitchen.  I might do this with the extra oil
truck I have kicking around in my back yard.

A closer view.

And yet again.  This machine is impressive.

Here are Josh, Erin, Brett and Bruce enjoying Jello-shots given to us by our
generous tailgating neighbors.  They were very limey and very strong.

Finishing up.

Watch Erin lick the Jello-shot cup clean here...

Crunchy chips.

Brett tries to decide between the beer buzz or the Red Bull buzz.
"Aw, what the heck!  I'll have e'm both!"

November 9, 2008 - Patriots v. Bills at Gillette Stadium.  That very night - AC/DC at
the GAHDEN!  These blokes decided to make it a double header!

G'day, Mate!  Angus to the 8th power.  Bruce scratches his head on the far right.

 

90273.JPG (101159 bytes)

More shenanigans with the boys from Down Under.

Watch Angus to the 8th power dance to rap music here.

 

90274.JPG (112847 bytes)

I never saw any of them do that Angus dance, though.

 

90277.JPG (110743 bytes)

Although, they may have tried.

 

90278.JPG (101219 bytes)

They had really loud AC/DC music playing all day so we got to
know the new CD (Black Ice)pretty well.

 

DSC02542.JPG (149775 bytes)

Bruce and Bill continue the tailgating tradition in fine form.

Not quite Uncle Sam.  Uncle Pat?

Erin waits for Josh.  He's probably stopped for a nap somewhere.

A view from the northwest corner of Gillette looking towards Patriot Place.
I think that's the new medical complex.

 

Watch the National Anthem followed by a Blackhawk helicopter fly-by at

Gillette Stadium prior to the game vs. the Bills.

This guy sits in front of us.

His name is Jimmy.  We know him as Heavy-Metal Mike.

 

DSC02558.JPG (152481 bytes)

"Did you just say something about MY Patriots?"

Watch Heavy Metal Mike do a little dance here.

The hallowed field at Gillette Stadium.

 

90294.JPG (110892 bytes)

The theory was that he was a Bills fan.

 

90295.JPG (101197 bytes)

The reason?  Neutral colors.

 

90297.JPG (100998 bytes)

Can you tell that Josh is taking most of these pictures?

 

090298.JPG (106297 bytes)

I'm not sure if she's sticking her tongue out at Josh or because she has
to be in a picture with me.  I'm gonna go with the former.

 

90306.JPG (91635 bytes)

We often put things in Bill's hood.

 

90307.JPG (113624 bytes)

Jimmy's up to something.

Jimmy tries to get our section up on it's feet!

Why is Erin pulling her shirt up?

 

90310.JPG (102022 bytes)

Random fans.

 

DSC02561.JPG (135265 bytes)

I have no idea who these women are or why they're in Brett's pictures.
