5:54	Sheil Kapadia - Welcome to philly.com's live coverage of Wing Bowl 17. Sheil Kapadia live here from the Wachovia Center with Mike Potter. And we'll be joined by the squad in the philly.com offices shortly.

5:56	Sheil Kapadia - I am located to the right of the stage. This place is filling up.

5:56	Sheil Kapadia - Was just passed by Wing Bowl legend El Wingador, who is not competing this year. He is rocking a Wing Bowl 13 championship ring, and a guy just had his son get a picture with him.

5:57	Sheil Kapadia - Hugh Douglas, Angelo, Al, Mitch Williams, Rhea, the whole WIP crew is here.

5:58	Sheil Kapadia - We had some technical difficulties earlier with no extension cord, but now we are told we are seated with the "Pink Vodka" girls. I have been asked to move three times, and I expect that to be a running theme throughout the mornng.

5:59	Sheil Kapadia - Glen Macnow is here also, Angelo just launched the broadcast.

6:00	Sheil Kapadia - Hugh Douglas just got the "Huuuugh" chant from the fans. And Mitch Williams got a nice ovation.

6:01	Sheil Kapadia - WIP's Paul Jolovitz is right in front of me serving as "sideline reporter".

6:02	Sheil Kapadia - I did have a Kyle Eckel sighting earlier. The Eagles fullback and Philly native appears to be taking the festivities with friends.

6:03	[Comment From Rick] is there going to be any live video of the event?

6:03	Sheil Kapadia - There will be tons of philly.com video, although I don't believe it will be live. That would be pretty risky.

6:05	[Comment From Rick] Boooooooooo! Just kidding.

6:06	Sheil Kapadia - According to philly.com's Mike Potter, the place is about a third of the way full. I'm horrible at estimating such things. The champagne girls just got together for a photo and about 12 dudes ran over to make sure they didn't miss their chance.

6:09	Sheil Kapadia - So far one thing has been thrown in this general vicinity. We will keep a running tally of that number as the morning goes on.

6:09	Sheil Kapadia - If we can keep it in single digits, I'll consider the morning a success.

6:12	Sheil Kapadia - Kyle Eckel is right in front of me waiting to be interviewed by WIP. He was just passed by the Vodka Girls.

6:13	Sheil Kapadia - Also in our booth are WIP contest winners, including a 13-year old boy. I'm guessing this is a birthday or Christmas present.

6:14	[Comment From Guest] is ther a live video feed on the web
