"Wing Bowl"

Well I realized recently that not everyone knows what Wing Bowl or understands what it is. I was talked to Price about it and he acted like he was talking to a "space alien". Anyway the great philly event is held every Friday before the Superbowl.

It started 15 years ago when the morning show on 610 WIP realized that since the Eagles usually suck there is nothing ever to get excited about this time of year. So a wing eating contest was invented.

The event got bigger and bigger each year, to the point that they now have it at the arean that the Philadelphia Flyers & Sixers play. They event is huge now and they have each contestant come out dressed up usually with wingettes. They are usually just strippers promoting their various clubs and wing bowl after parties.

What is crazy is that since this is put on live radio for the morning show is the events start around 5am. So, people sit out in the parking lot and drink till the doors open. Than flood in and watch the show down bettween wing eaters.

Most the people that go are guys, but the girls that do go love being the center of attention and usually without little but some cheering flash random strangers.

The event used to be free, but since they had to turn thousands of drunks away in years past you now need a ticket. Tickets cost a mere 5 dollars and goes to some sort of charity. Who cares which one?

The event is attended by many big names in local sports and media and afterwards the city is packed full of post game parties.

I went to Wing Bowl about 5 years ago with a bunch of friends, and early this week I was lucky enough to score a ticket for Wing Bowl 15 from a friend at work.

Expect a full report sometime,um well in the future I guess.
