| The Patriots played the Bills on November 9.
Brett, Josh and Erin joined us from the northern New England states of New Hampshire and
Maine. The Pats improved to 6-3 with a 20-10 win. All photos are courtesy of
Brett , Josh and Erin. |

|
Erin says, "Good morning!" as she
and Josh set out from Maine for Foxborough.
|
|

|
Brett hops aboard in New Hampshire.
|
|

|
Would you rather walk to school or take a
lunch?
|

|
Brett practices his bird calls.
|
|

|
Charlene and Erin casually enjoy the day.
|
|

|
Erin and Josh enjoy the morning sunshine in
Foxborough.
|
|

|
Bruce enjoys the new 2009 Patriots Cheerleader
calendar. He believes it's
important to support all aspects of the Patriots organization.
|

|
Aww...all snuggly.
|
|

|
What is that look all about?
|
|

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

|
Ellen and Joyce supervise the tailgating
activities
to make sure things don't get out of hand.

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!"
|

|
Erin multitasks between taking pictures and
eating cookies.

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.
|
|

|
More shenanigans with the boys from Down
Under. |
Watch Angus to the 8th power dance to rap music here.
|

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

|
Although, they may have tried.
|
|

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

|
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.
|
|

|
Massachusetts' finest!
|
|

|
Fans mingle inside the main gate at Gillette.
|
|

|
Fans find their way to their seats just before
kickoff.

|
Gillette Stadium begins to come to life.

Pre-game warmups.

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.
|
|

|
Paul and Bruce say, "Hey."
|
|

|
The zebras try to get the spot right during a
time out in the game.

|

|
Ellen, Charlene and Bill in their usual seats
high above ringside.
|
|

|
This guy sits in front of us.
|
|

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

|
"Did you just say something about MY
Patriots?" |
Watch Heavy Metal Mike do a little dance here.
|
|

|
The hallowed field at Gillette Stadium.
|
|

|
The theory was that he was a Bills fan.
|
|

|
The reason? Neutral colors.
|
|

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

|
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.
|

|
We often put things in Bill's hood.
|
|

|
Jimmy's up to something.
|
|

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

|
Why is Erin pulling her shirt up?
|
|

|
Random fans.
|
|

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

|
This photo captured one of the greatest
moments in Patriots regular season history.

Josh and Brett (especially Brett) round out
the Bills 2008 home game photos. |
