I did some research and found an AFL Grand Final party organised by the Australian-American Chamber of Commerce. It made for a great Friday night, the game went from 9:30 - 12 am. The location was a restaurant-bar right on the water in the industrial area near San Fran city.
They were selling a very limited Aussie menu. A Coopers Red and meat pie set me back US$15. It was almost worth it. They offered Coopers and Tooheys something. I was pretty shocked to see loads of people drinking the Tooheys. Then I noticed a correlation with Tooheys drinkers and wearers of knit striped shirts so I guess that identified all the Sydneysiders.
It was great to be in room with 500 Aussies all swearing at the TV and each other. The game was forgettable until the last quarter which was fantastic. Barry Hall is a blight on the game but I was gunning for Sydney while Sashi was going for West Coast. Hah I won.
