Super Bowl Parties
There are lots of parties and concerts in Arizona and if attending the Big Game is not a priority for you, partying before the event might be your cup of tea. I will let you know about a few that tickets are still available for.
Thursday:
Playboy Super Bowl Party – Expect Hugh Hefner and his “Girls Next Door” to make an appearance Hosted by rapper/actor Common, DJs Nick Cannon and Reach will supply some of the music. Some think this is the best party of the year.
Thursday AND Friday:
Pepsi Musica Super Bowl Fiesta - Pepsi is hosting a two night concert series in Glendale: Thursday, Jan. 31 Mary J. Blige and Maroon 5 AND Friday, Latin/Pop group RBD, along with Camila and Belinda. Telemundo's Emmy award winning sports anchor Jessie Losado and Ritmo Deportivo hostess Leti Coo, will serve as hosts for the evening's festivities. Both nights of the series will feature celebrity hosts, great music and guest appearances by a few of the NFL's biggest names
Friday:
Leather and Laces Party – Co-hosts for this party are Carmen Electra, Roselyn Sanchez and Catherine Bell. Entertainment includes Sugar Ray front man Mark McGrath, the Cirque du Soliel performers and a special appearance by eight Deal or No Deal Hostesses. ‘Leather and Laces’ is known for consistently bringing in celebrities. The charity that is benefiting from this event is the Watering Seeds Organization (WSO) which was created to provide recreational and athletic opportunities for physically challenged individuals.
Maxim Super Bowl Party – Hosted by Maxim magazine, this party is more intimate than most, this means you have a good chance of spotting and chatting with celebrities. Last year where Fergi performed, celebrity guests included: Nick Lachey, Michael Strahan, Tony Romo, Craig Ferguson, Matt Leinart, Andy Roddick, Jamie Foxx, the Williams sisters, Alex Rodriguez, John Salley, Jamal Anderson, David Spade, Lennox Lewis, Kid Rock, Shemar Moore, Terrell Owens, Carson Palmer, Jeff Gordon, and Jimmy Johnson. This all happens at the AAA Five-Diamond Fairmont Scottsdale Princess resort.
Saturday:
John Travolta's Super Bowl Saturday Night Spectacular – John and NFL analyst and former star running back Marshall Faulk are hosting the party. 80's band REO Speedwagon will be performing. Also on the agenda are Cirque du Soleil, appearances from 10 Deal or No Deal models, and hosting by Entertaiment Tonight's Mark Steines. A "Millionaire" Silent and Live Auction will feature several rare and exclusive items like a Beatles group signed guitar collage, a Saturday Night Fever original movie poster signed by John Travolta, and a Presidential engraving montage signed by the last seven U.S. Presidents. The festivities will go down from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the Galleria Centre located in the heart of Downtown Scottsdale. An Open Full Ultra Premium Bar is featured, stacked with Belvedere Vodka, Moet & Chandon Champagne, Corona and much more.
Penthouse Desire SuperParty - Rapper Snoop Dogg highlights this Scottsdale party. Need I say more?!?
Taste of the NFL XVII - Sample fantastic food from fantastic restaurants from all 32 NFL cities and enjoy entertainment to benefit local and national hunger organizations. At the Phoenix Convention Center.
Sunday:
Super Bowl Tailgate Party - The grills are fired up, the drinks are on ice and the Mother of All Tailgate Parties is being held this year at the University Of Phoenix Stadium parking lot.
And, if you are lucky enough - SUPER BOWL XV!!

iPhone Friendly!
I'm just back from a business lunch and the biggest topic of conversation was our new webapp for iPhone - Rusty had an iPhone and has been working to integrate all of the services that are available on our website into the new iPhone interface. I am definitely not one of the most technologically advanced people here at uscity.net - but not the least either... I could not believe how easy and fast it was to use. Scrolling down our entire list of states and categories took mere seconds!
We look a little different on the iPhone. We all had fun playing with our new iphone-friendly site and now everyone wants an iPhone! Lynda had a Q-phone which has internet access and she was able to get to the reformatted site also. Our tech department is very hyped about all of this and hopefully will keep me informed of new features as they are added. (Our tech people are notorious for NOT letting me know what they are doing - I can think of two reasons why: One being that they are so caught up in making our site easier, faster and up to date that they forget everything else. And Two being that they have to really slow their brains down to tell me what they are doing in language I can understand!)
I do know that all of our features will soon be a perfect fit for the iPhones and similar handheld gadgets with internet acces. There are loads of features already working. Free phone number lookup nationwide is available now as well as access to millions of G-rated quality links.
To get to our directory, get an internet connection and go to http://uscity.net, once there, touch the blank space in the top bar, and one the drop down box press the plus sign (+) next to it and press save - this will add our site to your ‘favorites’ and make it easy to get to us next time.
After I arrived at our site, what impressed me the most was being able to go through the alphabet to find the category I was looking for so quickly, and then I just touched on the category I wanted to see and voila’ - there were all the sites listed. You can also scroll through all the categories without using the alphabet, but the first way was faster for me. Fast... Easy… I like that!!
For more detailed instructions - http://www.uscity.net/iphone/help-index.html
The next thing I did was find my phone number using the white pages (located on the first page of http://uscity.net/iphone) and by just touching the number, I called my husband!! Very cool! And the first thing I asked him was when was he going to buy me an iPhone?!?!

USCity.Net Looks Back at 2007
Before we start looking back, I would like to explain a little bit about the employees here at uscity.net - we are co-workers, but we are also family – sometimes a slightly dysfunctional family but one that is always bonded by making our directory the best it can be and by trying to help each other. Most of our work-related communication is done through phone calls and emails. Most of us reside in Florida and see each other regularly. Some don’t. One of our employees, Lynda, lives in Michigan and hasn’t met most of us here. She is coming to Florida for a vacation next week and we are all excited about meeting her. I feel as though I already know her, we chat about her kids, her Mom, her grandkids (ESPECIALLY the grandkids – LOL), our health, our families, etc. Oh, yes, we also discuss work…
So, with that said, I would have to say the biggest thing to happen here this year has nothing at all to do with our directory – it was the birth of our second uscity.net baby, Camdyn. You can read about Camdyn’s birth at our Camdyn is Home blog.
And here is a photo of both “our” babies - that's Tiona holding Camdyn.
++++++
Some of what we have done in 2007 includes a lot of behind the scenes stuff, like our innovative programming by Tyson that makes all of our lives easier. Continuous upgrading and adding servers to make us faster, overseen by our network engineer, Bill. Of course, of all of this is done under the direction of Rusty, our fearless leader!
If you received an iPhone as gift, head over to http://www.uscity.net/iphone - our new iPhone interface. All content is being re-formatted to fit your iPhone. New features will be added as they are developed. There are loads of features already working. Free phone number lookup nationwide is available now as well as access to millions of G-rated quality links.
In keeping up with the times, we have added some new categories to our directory. Below is a list of some of the major ones:
Go Green
NLP
Hypnosis
Wiki
Jobs
Besides the Go Green category, we added two more that we hope will help make a difference in the lives of visitors to our site and those they choose to help - Giving and Hospice.
Note that each of these categories is in every state. Our directory is set up for national and local websites, so if you are looking for a business or service that is in a certain state, click on that state directory from our front page.
We did some major re-organizing of our Wellness, Marketing and Health categories too.
One exciting new addition to our directory and one that has proven to be very popular is our new streaming news videos. We also upgraded our weather information page – TWICE!.
Shea created a great new updated front page design,
which we carried over to our state pages.
If you would like a little more info on our employees from our employees, you can visit our employee blog spot or go to one of their blogs:
A New Look - Spotlight on Shea
Proud of Our Students
Lacey’s A Whole New Life
Delanie Crawford
Kristina’s A Babysitter’s View of Cruising
My View of How We Began
All the people I supervise have made my job as easy as possible and I am very proud of all of them. I thank all of you for your hard work and dedication to uscity.net. I have to add a special thank you to Carol, my assistant – who is a joy to work with and I love her very much! I really don’t know what I would do without her.
There are always so many new things happening around here, we are constantly changing, morphing, keeping up with the times, but these are the things that I believe were the highlights of 2007.
Happy New Year EVERYONE!
Pam
PS – I forgot one other thing that started in October this year – the blog you are reading right now! Hope you enjoy it.

My New Year's Wish For You
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words…
May 2008 be the best year of your life!!! Be Blessed!
Love,
Sue
