When you come to Houston, be sure to come downtown to Main Street to the "Main Event." They're setting up lights and stages and all right now, and it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. There are a lot of bars in the area, and all the places will be spilling out into the street.

I am leaving and will be arriving Friday at 9 PM. Will hit main street first.Will be eating at Vic and Anthonys Sat night. Call Steffanie for a reservation.Goode and co for lunch before the game and Brennans Monday. A lot of working out in betwwen. Wat do you think Susie?

Sounds like a good plan, citiboy! Be sure to get some pecan pie at Goode Company and to order the turtle soup (with sherry) and the bananas foster at Brennan's.

They're setting up tents right across the street from Vic & Anthony's right now, so there's something up nearby. (I can see it out my office window!) And, if you're interested, you can walk over to the green space in front of the convention center (a couple blocks away) to see ESPN broadcast live.

Have a great time and welcome to Houston!

Sounds like fun-thanx for the help LALALAND girl-Rick

If you're up for some Mexican food while in Houston, a fun place to go is Chuy's on Westheimer (near Kirby). It's very reasonably priced with great food and great frozen margaritas. Order the jalapeno dip with the chips they bring you (it's off the menu).

See you tomorrow Lalaland Women-Your advice has been great.

party on, and go 'lina, 'cause 6 tar heels are heading ns to H, fast as we can get there tonite. But what about a place to stay, looks iffy. Got a $225 bid a day on eBay for a downtown Daysinn , and we were rejected. How high should we go. we need a place between partying, any ideas?

Belichek did not look good in Cleveland. He was lucky this year.He got every break and call.I just bet Carolina plus 7.

You don't win 14 in a row by luck.You don't win Super Bowls with luck. Kiss that money goodbye.

The Packers were not the team of destiny, the Eagles were not the team of destiny - the Panthers are!

Destiny will not win the Super Bowl for the Panthers. Coaching and execution does. The Pats are a better team and have displayed that over the season. Carolina should be thankful they did not play the Packers because they would have lost that game.

It just occurred to me -- hopefully you have reservations at Vic & Anthony's for Sat. night. If not, don't bother showing up there. One block away is Minute Maid Park, where there's a big invitation-only concert going on, and I heard they gave out thousands of extra "invitations", figuring not everyone will show up. Also, I found out that the tents next to Vic & Anthony's is something called the "Super Bash," which is also drawing lots of people. And apparently, at 6 pm at Vic & Anthony's is some kind of fashion show.

If you have reservations, you should have a blast. If not, you should probably make alternate plans.

Here's the info on the fashion show at Vic & Anthony's on Saturday:
Super Celebrity Fashion Extravaganza:
Dinner and fashion show. Celebrities will model fashions by Vanesa Riley of London. Benefits Angel of Mercy Community Center. 6 p.m. Tickets: $1,000. Vic & Anthony's, 1510 Texas. 713-942-9197.

Cityboy,
You won the money but lost the game . HOW BOUT THEM PATRIOTS!
Just a sidenote, the Pats outrushed the Panthers great rushing attack.

Well, citiboy --
How was your Super Bowl experience?

I'm not citiboy, but I thought the half-time show was a bust.

How 'bout that lingerie bowl? That was top notch.

Unfortunately all I got to see was the boob tube version of the 'bowl.

Hey citiboy50 - I hope you had a great trip. Your team was great - really gave the Pats a hard time. Love to hear about your trip.

Olive Oyl - I sure hope you'll post when you get back too!

So proud of our Patriots - what a team - Adam Viniteri is amazing. But one of these days I would like a Boston team to win a championship without causing the entire state to have heart attacks.

I just got bacl to Miami.Everything including the bet was fantastic. Thank you Bellairegirl. I will write in detail later. It was the ultimate fantasy.Game, food,stars, athletes,partying, eating and of course, drinking. By the way, had reservations at Vic and Anthonys. We met Dominique Wilkins at dinner and he invited us upstairs-met Adam Sandler and Pamela Anderson. She would have been better at halftime than Janet Jackson-lol.
