The Super Sac I

This is how we roll on the Lower Sac.

Translation: When approaching our street, you can turn left, which leads to the cul de sac up the hill. Or you can turn right and go down the hill to our cul de sac, thus "The Lower Sac". We had a Super Bowl party, The Super Sac I, out in the cul de sac complete with a 16' screen built for the occasion. HD projected image with complete audio system. Grills, fire pits, coolers and all.

Story that made it all worth while: First, a little history. The Upper Sac was completed before the Lower Sac, and they have been throwing parties and what not dating back before our arrival. There is a friendly unspoken competition between the Sacs as to who throws the better parties. In all honesty, there is no comparison, but we let them think they are still in the game. There are two guys on the Upper Sac that no one really likes, and it would take way too many blog sessions to detail why, just know that we call them Shirtless Guy and His Friend. As for the party, one neighbor had the HD projector from work, we used our own stereo receiver and speakers from the house, and all the wood for the screen was from another neighbors renovation of his office. Anyway, on to the story. We are 40-50 people strong, and as mentioned before, the grills are hot, the tables over flowing with food, the game is on, the speakers booming. At halftime, Shirtless Guy and His Friend come strolling down the hill. Shirtless Guy comes right up and comments on how clear the picture is, even at 16'. He then tells me that his young son and his friends had come down to check out the party. The son had come back and reported that our TV was huge, twice as big as his and it looked great, just as good as his if not better. Shirtless Guy says no way, he has a new plasma screen he just got. So he had to come down and check it out for himself. He admitted he was very impressed. I then called over my friend Mike who had helped plan all this and build the screen. I asked Mike how much the can of paint we used to paint the screen white cost. $15 was the answer. I then proudly told Shirtless Guy that the whole setup cost us $15. He mumbled his was a lot more than that. They each grabbed one of our beers and headed back home (reason #253 why we don't really care for them)
