Super Bowl Withdrawl
Many of you may know, I live just south of Indianapolis, Indiana. As all of you should know, Super Bowl XLVI was at Lucas Oil in Indianapolis... let me say, we, those of us in close proximity to Indy have been hearing about the Super Bowl ever since the committee approved Indianapolis as a site.
Now it is over. How can that be? I mean, I didn't do anything too special. But I have decided that IF Indy does get another, I am definitely signed up to volunteer! This year being a snow shoveler would have rocked! (It was about 50 degrees!)
I did have the fun experience of helping a friend at a catered event that needed additional servers. My job was "clearer" in other words I came up to your table and said, "excuse me, may I take that plate". I have never been a waitress, and I know my main character is a bartender... but I had no idea how hard the job could be! My feet were killing me by the end of the night. But the best part was the attendees of the event... The New England Patriots, family, administration, cheerleaders...
I am a blue blooded Colts fan. As such, I must cheer for Payton's little bro, Eli... but I must say, the Patriots and their families were VERY nice! I enjoyed my experience. (I wasn't able to say good luck... the words just wouldn't form) But I do hope I portrayed good 'ole Hoosier Hospitality!
Now.. it is almost 2 weeks post Super Bowl. I met a friend downtown Indy for lunch. It is so slow and quiet. The underlying tension of "will we" or "won't we" pull this off? Is gone... I must say, I miss it! Super Bowl Committee... bring the game back to Indy! We loved you, and you loved us! If you are on that decision making team, send me an email and I will gladly bribe you with a free autographed copy of Consequences! Thanks for the opportunity to showcase our great state and city....after all, Claire Nichols (my main character) is from Fishers Indiana. (Wonder where I thought of that?)
