Superbowl parties are often a gamble. You might end up at the really lame superbowl party with some chips and and a couple of guys who are WAY into the game or else sleeping. Or there's the insane superbowl party that is really just a reason to get drunk.
So if you are looking for a sure bet, go to the Massie's parties.
First of all the Massies are great for any party. They are incredibly welcoming and fun to hang out with, even if they are almost old enough to be your parents. (I said almost!) They'll play games, quote from movies, or sing along to some really great tunes. (Try challenging Rod to a game of name that tune.) They are just great people.
Their house is great too. Very warm and cozy with lots of different places to hang out.
So parties are always fun there.
But here's why their superbowl party is the best: It's two parties in one. They've got one upstairs for people who have to be quiet during the game. You know, people who are really into it. And downstairs is another party where you probably only have to be quiet during the commericials, and not even then. You know, people who aren't really into the game. Now you don't have to get stuck at one or the other either. You can move back and forth, you just have to know the rules. I'm not going to go upstairs and start a game of Yatzee, and no one is going to come downstairs and tell us to shut up and watch the game. Everyone is free to mix and mingle.
The food is great. Food upstairs and down. Not just a bunch of stuff picked up from the store, but some delicious homemade superbowl food. And beverages. Soda, or beer (Corona was the beer of choice, although I brought some Killians and some chocolate stout from Roosters.)
So I mostly stayed downstairs, where I worked on my essay (they also have wireless internet). Some people played pool. We started a game of "Marbles" (a Massie original as far as I know, complete with hand carved board.) There was also some Wii action going on and a game of fusball broke out between some twenty somethings and some dad's of twenty somethings.
Overall a very fun party. I highly recommend you work a Massie party into your busy social schedules. And check out the newly refurbished downstairs. I hear that one of the guys who painted down there is "excellent."
