It all starts with the tailgating!

Hey hey everybody...

Just got back from KC yesterday.  Have to say was quite the trip.  After a fairly pain free 13 hour drive we arrived at our hotel in KC.  As we were checking in, a few guys were commenting on the Saints Jersey i was wearing (my Brees jersey i designated as my driving jersey for the trip).  One of the guys made a comment that KC was going to lay a beating on Drew.  When asked to elaborate, he said, have you ever heard of #72, to which i replied "of course, we were attempting to trade up in the draft for a crack at Dorsey".  To which he further replied "well have you ever met him, cuz there he is".  My buddy Clint got a pic with him.  This pic does not do Dorsey justice.  The guy is huge.  Apparently he had rented a bus and brought his family and friends down and coincidentally they were at the same hotel as us.  Nice guy.  I have a new found respect for QB's!

Tailgating was how we started off the day, we had drove a long way so we didn't bring a BBQ, but we did have more than enough beer to offer around.  Parked beside a couple from Wichita who were super friendly and offered to share what they had brought to eat.  Played some version of a bean bag toss game and just hung out.  BBQ steaks and beer.  Nice.  That is until Darth Chief showed up and started whacking me with his light saber to the amusement of those within sight.

After a few hours of mingling with the tailgaters and drinking, we headed into Arrowhead for the warm-ups.

Me trying to get back to my seat.  During warm-ups if you leave you are replaced in a blink of an eye.  I took tonnes of pics, but just thought i would share a few action shots from the seats.  Unfortunately, Deuce's diving TD was at the other end.

Thigpen looking worried.

Another big stop by the D.

Pierre Thomas rushes one in.

Me and the pregnant missus.  The comments she was firing at the Chiefs fans made me glad she is preggo and couldn't drink.  It would have been ugly if she was looped.  Good to note the Shockey jersey did not get stretched out at all over the baby bump.

One last shot.  Pretty impressive catch by Bowe.  Usama has apparently zero vertical!

It was a hell of a trip, met a lot of super friendly people.  The only downside to the trip was that my car died in Ames, Iowa.  The main reason it took me so long to get back.  Had to sell the car for salvage and rent a car back to Canada.
