Hospitaltity

I think it is thoughtful and also an omen that AZ has provided some good 'ol hospitality to the Seattle visitors. It started raining yesterday afternoon and it is forecast for today and tomorrow. What better way to make the Seattle folks feel comfortable? So far, we have over .5" of the stuff, and we expect at least double that before the big game on Sunday.

Josie and I both worked an extra long day - from 1:30 until almost 11 PM - and didn't get home until after midnight last night. The crowds were almost overwhelming and it was an "electric" fee at the NFL Experience all day. Josie had her camera ready as we walked from the train to the Convention Center to begin our shift. The Super Bowl activities are present everywhere in the downtown area. This is probably the largest Super Bowl sign in town:

There were other locations in this huge, mostly blocked off, area in town where the crowds roamed:

We received our first paychecks from Aramark - a whopping $25 each - for our kickoff meeting at the Coliseum on January 20. Our next check on next Thursday should be pretty good with some long days included.

It was an extremely busy day as the line at the registers rarely shrunk. We are both dragging this morning as I will spend the day at the Stadium preparing the merchandise for sale on game day and Josie puts in a regular work day at the shop. The excitement is growing, and we are getting anxious for the big day...
