Video Conferencing Super Bowl Party
For those people who can't be at your Super Bowl Party (especially your
overseas friends and family), set up a FREE Web Conference using Skype — that way they can participate
live during the event.
Here is how we we use Skype for our parties.
First, you need two FREE Skype accounts. It only takes a few minutes to set up if you do not have them. With Skype you can make free voice and video calls over the Internet (Click to set up your Skype Accounts) You also need an unlimited internet connections at both locations to place the Skype Calls (most people have this service these days).
Before the party starts, we set the webcams and laptops up in a corner of the two locations you want to connect.
Make sure the Webcam is plugged into your computer, you've installed the webcam software that came with it and that it's switched on.
Dial each other using Skype and turn on the video. Since the calls are completely free, we just leave the video conference up during the whole party.
Then people wander over to the cameras during the party and talk with each other, bet and taunt the other fans that are located in each party.
More Skype info or order a new High Quality Video webcam before the party.

Super Bowl Party Food Tips
Keep your Super Bowl Party simple and FUN — make a few dishes ahead of time, so you won't be in the kitchen preparing food instead of watching the game. Better yet, make it a Pot Luck.

Serve up all-American Ribs (short
ribs, spareribs and baby-backs),
Make
up a big platter of tasty Nachos topped with Taco Sauce and Guacamole.Whip up a big batch of Hot Chili, or order a Pizza (Costco's Pizzas are tasty and extremely good value). Potato Skins are always fun — if you don't want to make them, you can pick them up at your local supermarket. Subway Sandwiches are
great too!

A day or two before the game, make a Costco and/or Trader
Joe's run — both places offer a variety of hearty Hors
d'oeuvres (great Guacamole, Dips, Salsas and Chicken Wings), Baked Sweet Potato Fries, Fun Party Trays (Fruit,
Cheese, Veges and Meat), Munchies (Chips, Pretzels, Nuts, Candy)...and amazing
Desserts — Cookies, Cakes, Pies and yummy Brownie Bites...

Super Bowl Beer & Wine
Purchase Beer
in bulk at Costco, or have each of your guests bring a six-pack... or two. Plan on at least one six-pack per two-to-three people.
Buy a case of Charles
Shaw "Two-Buck
Chuck" wines from Trader Joe's — at
under $30, it's
an excellent value. We prefer the Cabernets and Merlots. Or ask your guests
to bring a bottle of their favorite wine or what they like to drink. Plan on at least one 750 ml bottle of wine for every two-to-three people.
Be sure to have plenty of sodas, soft drinks, bottled
water and coffee on hand for non-drinkers and "designated drivers."
