We complained because trash cans were placed out of the way in the center of the arena.

  1. I did go! You're a better photographer than me-between the crowds and trying to juggle the spoon, ballot and pencil I couldn't get a decent picture to save my life. My favorite bisque won and my favorite clam chowder came in third. Cant remember the rest and my ballot got anhilated when I spilled soup on it but they accepted it anyway.

    Fun time and I would definitely go again but it will be a while before I feel like eating any chowder :).

    1. Oh I know just what you mean about NOT eating chowder for a while.

      I had my friend Gayle fill out my ballot...and yes, it was covered with chowder drips, as was my phone that I was using to tweet pictures out!

      I fell walking in (remember to listen to people saying "watch your step") - and my friend fell leaving, as we were crossing the street to the parking. We were a complete ChowdaMess! But what a fun time!

  2. At least I fell on the way out so I could still enjoy all the chowder. Had a fun time as always. Thanks Bonnie

    1. That's why I went early...but I couldn't eat anything for the rest of the day. WOW! Chowder is filling!
      Made me miss all those football favorites, buffalo wings, nachos, etc.
      Guess I was better off with the chowder, now that I think about it! (chuckle)
      Hope you had a super Superbowl Sunday!
