Hey Pats Fans,

If we can put aside the game result for a moment, it was a fantastic weekend the Pikes Peak Patriots crew that made the tailgate party such a huge sucess. Thanks to all those who braved the weather and came out to the Pour House on Saturday night.  I hope you all had as much fun as I did but your feedback both good and bad is appreciated as we would like to make these night before the game parties a regular event at every road game.

As many of you learned about this weekend, the club I run is called Patriots Tailgate which is for Pats fans going to any road game.  Our objective is certainly not to try and take over anything that a local club is doing but just to assist where possible, promote the events to fans across the country and help get the Patriots organization involved (PFW and Kraft on Saturday night) and I think this weekend was the perfect example of how well that works.

I just posted my pics to the Yahoo Group which you can find here (if you are a member):

This is a public album so please also add your own. My camera was basically dead after the party so I didn't get much of the tailgate and none of the game but I know that many of you got some great shots that others will want to see.

I also have video of Robert Kraft's appearance at the Pour House Party which I'll be sharing with Patriots Tailgate members once I fix the orientation.  So yeah, in case it's not already obvious, I'm bribing you guys into joining the club (free) to see the pics and video.

It was great meeting you all and I hope we cross paths again but next time with the Pats coming out on top!

If you ever find yourself in Southern California during football season, please come join us for a game with my local club, The Orange County Patriots Fans

Keep the faith and GO PATS!!!
