Two words: All- nighter...reminds me of a day back in my early 20's when my friends and I took the "Super Bowl Challenge". Basically, we met at 10pm Saturday night and didn't go to sleep until after the Super Bowl Party the next evening. Bar- Gentleman's Club- Casino (only place open Sunday morn)- Party setup- Party- Sleep.

This is an excellent point. I usually don't leave out of Churchill until after 8 anyway. An hour an a half gives you a primetime audience, which could really be a big deal for casual observers.
