I t was a wild and crazy few days, a gridiron throwdown that gave the city a rocking patina and a second chance at proving that we are Houston — not Houston, Texas, but a single moniker like New York, L.A., and Chicago. Just as New England earned that Lombardi trophy, so Houston polished its image to a mighty gleam. From the Maxim, Playboy, and Leather & Laces late-night bashes to the Wheels Up after- noon blowout at The Silos, Million Air Houston's round-the-clock hospitality, and Lucinda and Javier Loya's bacchanalian disco brunch, the city rocked. And we have the photos to prove it.
