Greetings Sports Fans!
It’s that time again, Super Bowl – I mean Super Tuesday – Party time.
On January 26, 2010, we’re going back to Oakland for the 48th Super Tuesday Party, where Dave Bach-y-Rita is hosting at his place a block or two from Lake Merrit. Here’s Dave’s digits:
306 Lee Street, Apt 310
Oakland CA
(415) 823-2810
He’s at Lake Merritt and a 20 minute walk from the 19th street BART station.
7:30 or thereabouts.
(Note: Super Tuesday’s 4th Anniversary is coming. Mark your calendar for February 22, 2010.)
We’ll have the usual fare for dinner, but let’s do it up right with the munchies. Here’s what we need:
- Chex mix.
- Beer, preferably Bud and PBR.
- Veggie tray. Make sure it has the blue cheese dip.
- Nacho chips. Like, Doritos.
- Or, your favorite football snack. Traditional is best.
- If you loathe football, then make it your baseball snack, hockey, whatever. If you loathe sports in general… well, that’s cool… just bring your appetite; all good.
Here’s the rules: No shopping at Whole Foods, Berkeley Bowl, Bi Rite, Rainbow or any other crunchy granola venue. Instead, find this stuff at Safeway, Lucky, Ralphs, Krogers, whatever.
Exception: our host Dave Bach-y-Rita is making
Bring your favorite toppings, and feel free to get those anywhere you like.

Mixalot totally gets it. This month’s cocktail… Jack and Coke (no question). If you need a recipe, it’s easy: pour yourself a coke, drink some, fill it back up with Jack Daniels Black Label. Or just pour the Jack right into the can. We’re not picky.
Music
Let’s see… what’s some good Super Bowl type party music… here we go: Guns n Roses, Use Your Illusion II.
This one takes me back to USMC days… really popular I recall in September ‘00. I put 5000 miles on my red 4×4 Toyo that month. That’s a lot of GnR on the radio. And a lot of driving too.
Still good! Rock and roll!
Ice-cold Blast from the Past
We’re going back to Super Bowl XX 1986 for this one. Bears vs Pats. I remember watching this game. What a rout, 46 to 10. And when The Refrigerator scored, we practically fell out of our chairs:
New NFL record: the first refrigerator to score a touchdown. What a game! Walter Payton. Jim McMahon, what a nut. Good times!

The Super Tuesday World
Welcome new Super Tuesday alumni Lydia S and Jee K. Lydia is connected through Dave’s startup crowd, and Jee comes to us through Walter and San Francisco meetup activity. Both Lydia and Jee have websites, so expect to see them linked from the alumni page (once I get around to it).
December 2009 also found Sandra S and Jamie Lynn B stopping by for a plate of ham and snort of mulled wine. These ladies are Old Skool Super Tuesday, it was great to see them again. Come back soon!
Remember: Super Tuesday has an alumni page. If you would like to be listed, send an email with your particulars, we’ll make it happen.
Upcoming
- Walter hosts in Emeryville. It’s the 4th Anniversary, Feb 22, 2010. If you only attend one Super Tuesday in 2010, make it this one. If you only attend one Super Tuesday ever… make it this one!
- Jackie hosts in Berkeley on March 22, 2010. Jackie’s very close to the College and Ashby intersection. Easy to get to for everyone.
- Scott and Jolene host at their Little Green House in Alameda on April 26, 2010. Scott and Jolene are very Old Skool Super Tuesday. Actually, they pre-date Super Tuesday, part of the “small circle of friends” Super Tuesday grew out of. (Prize to first person who knows that quote… without looking it up on Wikipedia). Scott and Jolene are a half block from Speisekammer Restaurant, very easy to get to from 880.
- Sarah takes us back to Oakland on May 24, 2010. Sarah is close to 42nd and Telegraph, again easy to get to. We’ll be outside! Bring your grillables.
- June is open? Am I missing something? Janet? Jeff? Ben? Someone? Anyone?
