It's been weeks now since you and your guests got an exclusive peek at season 2 of Friday Night Lights.

Ready for more?

Tune in for the season premiere of Friday Night Lights tomorrow night, 9/8 CT, on NBC!

Think all your guests will remember that season 2 of FNL starts tomorrow night?

Why not remind them? In fact, why not make it another party?

Some hosts are planning a party "reunion" to enjoy the full season-opening episode together. Other hosts are letting their guests return the favor by hosting their own FNL viewing parties.

Planning something special for the on-air premiere tomorrow night? Let everyone know what you've got cooking!

We've sent each host an email asking them to take an easy, online survey.

This survey will tell us what partygoers liked most about their FNL party, and how to make future events even better.

So if you liked being an FNL insider, seeing an exclusive peek at Season 2, and getting all that great FNL fan memorabila -- and you want a chance to host a future NBC House Party -- please take your survey today!

The weekend is over, but across the country people are still buzzing about their Friday Night Lights House Party.

What are they saying?

• They loved the show

We are planning on having a bonfire. Hot dogs and roasted marshmallows are the best along with all the finger foods we can think of. I have found a lot of football shaped items so people will literally have football shoved down their throat!! Everyone who wants to is wearing a cheerleader or football outfit and we are having prizes for the best.

Check out other ideas. Have you added yours?

With only 9 days left to your party, it's time to start talking food.

Wine & cheese, or beer & pizza?  Light & healthy, or a true Texas barbeque?

We want to know what you plan to serve at your Friday Night Lights House Party.
