Under a clear blue October sky, the Redskins welcomed the Seattle Seahawks to FedEx and THN was on hand to host our second tailgate party of the season. In attendance were the usual suspects: JansenFan and Jackson, Skinschic and Jake, JP Fair and the Hogettes. THN welcomed first timers Chris Luva Luva and his girlfriend Shenia, as well as Amberion all the way from Australia (you never forget your first time). In addition, Gibbs’ Hog and his Missus caught us just before game time. Thanks to all who came!
Also on hand were Seahawks fans Lauren and Brandon, both from Seattle. They are both in the Air Force and are currently deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. What a thrill it was for them to see their Hawks LOSE at FedEx! Thanks to all the THN and Skins fans that made them feel welcome.
As with every tailgate party this year, Isaac’s was there cooking up the pre-game meal of every kind of dog you wanted, along with some awesome pasta salad. The food just keeps getting better…Thank you Isaac’s!
The tailgate party featured a fierce football game with JansenFan, Chris Luva Luva, Jackson, Jake, DEHog Jr. as well as other kids from the green lot. The game got so brutal at one point that CLL had to don Jackson’s Redskin helmet! Hope you gave the helmet back Chris! Maybe in a couple of years when Jackson grows out of it he will pass it down to you!
It was a jubilant after party as the Skins pulled out a close one. There were plenty of leftovers to warm up as we enjoy the Skins victory and celebrated our 3-0 record! Be sure to look for some great tailgate recipes in THN’s tailgate section in the coming weeks, as the Skins are on the road in Denver and Kansas City. We will see you at Fed Ex next on October 23, when we welcome back our 5-0 Redskins to do battle with the 49ers.
See ya at the stadium.
