You know, I'd have an easier time explaining what love is, or what a soul is. New Orleans is unlike anywhere you've been, except it feels just like home. The city has a soul, a feel, just a certain vibe. It's a gumbo pot mixing of food, music, carnival, people, and just a love of life you won't find anywhere else. New Orleans can be seen in a visit, but it can't be fully experienced in a short visit. Leave Bourbon street, follow the jazz music to Frenchman, enjoy the creole show at the Spotted Cat, hang out with the locals, go to the weekly festivals, and revel in the realization that life moves at a slower pace, just because it can.
Once you spend some time in New Orleans the city becomes a part of you. She's dirty, crime ridden, flood prone but majestic and truly an old world city. America's cities are young, but you wouldn't know it when you jump on the street car uptown and make your way to Canal.
If you get the chance, go. Go see Bourbon, then go enjoy the city. There aren't any locals on Bourbon, and the people make the city.

Everyone knows they are called crawdads anyway.
Dread,
Two words: Jazz Funeral
Two more words: Charbroiled Oysters
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
If you can't find amazing food that tempts your palate in NOLA just saw your head off.
We went to acme. I didn't eat the oysters tho.
