i arrived in new orleans at 4p on halloween. checked in to the hotel and stepped out into the street with m~.
we were hungry and headed for bourbon street to eat. with the saints playing just blocks away, saints fever was at full throttle, and it was still daylight. once in the quarter, i knew it immediately by the stench. body odor, vomit and lots of alcoholic garbage. there were lots of people walking around in costume, lots of saint fans in hats and jerseys. we found Oceanas restaurant and had a great meal, then slipped back into the street with m~ lugging the rest of my blackened duck and pecan pie.
we walked for awhile, stopped in a couple of shops. and then...along came a parade! it was short but colorful and fun with lots of bead throwing by scantily clad women and prancing of countless men in drag!
when the parade ended... there they were. the fear god people. holding this sign!
notice the catergories, punks, emos and good people are going to hell. out of the 33 categories listed, i'm
proud to say that at one time i have been in 23 of them. now i'm just an athiest, pervert sinner that's good people! the best part is that jesus was standin next to the guy holding this sign....
so i followed jesus down bourbon street...
we ended up back at the hotel pretty early, but happy and tired and satisfied.
then this morning, i heard that 3 people were killed on bourbon street last night.
again my timing was impeccable. they said the amount of people last night on bourbon was only exceeded by mardi gras. well no shit. lol
