We got back to the hotel around 2:00am Thursday night. I have come to realize the fans really don’t start coming in until Friday. Every where we went Thursday had a decent crowd, but not what I would consider packed.

Friday started out great with 18 holes at Ranchos de las Caballeros. I LOVE playing golf in February. Being from New England where there is still 8 inches of snow on the ground, any time you can get 18 holes of golf in, life is good.

The party of the weekend has been the Big Game Bash at Margaritaville. We showed up at about 7:00pm and the party was just starting. There were celebrities everywhere we looked, but the cool part was, they were all really friendly. There was a buzz in the room, and then Deon Sanders passed by our table. He was a really good guy. I asked if he would take a picture with Super Bowl Monkey, but he politely declined.

The rest of the night was pure fun. I can honestly tell you this will be one of the parties on the list for Tampa.

Super Bowl Monkey attended the Big Game Bash on Friday night at Margaritaville. He met up with several celebrities and had his picture taken with them. He was also interviewed by Sirius Radio.
