Big Post for Big Times Well, we had quite a weekend in New Orleans. Did you hear that the Saints won the Big One? My ears are still ringing from the revelry. I've never seen a city erupt like this and I might never again. I've been in Europe when the Wall Fell. I was in Asia when Hong Kong went back to China. But I've never seen anything like this.

Mashay and Drag King

Mashay ran up to this drag king. I loved his little helmet on his big hair.

Fleur-de-Lis Boys

Did I mention that the Barkus parade was in the gay district of the French Quarter. These fans were ready for a good tussle.

The Sun Shone Down

The sun was shining on Bourbon Street and the beads were flying!

Troopers on Red Bull

This trooper was sipping his Red Bull when we walked by. We talked to a cop earlier who was smoking a fat cigar. Law enforcement is pervasive down here, but they're just doing their job.

More Beads

What can I say - people love beads. Ian takes a break from bead collecting while Mashay calls for one more strand...

Poser

This lady jumped on Ian and wanted to be in the picture

At Ryan's Again

Brian and Liz came down for the game,but it was so crowded that we didn't watch the game together. Brian actually looked into the camera this time.

Ben David and Mohawk

I talked to this guy for a lot of the game. He drove 3 hours from Jackson, MS where he's a National Guard. He worked through the crowd like a ferret to get beers for his girl Annabelle on the right.

High 5!

The Saints pulled it off and Ian was ready for the big high 5!

Celebrating off Bourbon Street

This celebration was on Decatur street outside of Ryan's Irish Pub. Saints WIN!
