Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Yeah .. .sounds like a good idea .. SkyMike'll be there too ... FF is in the burbs .. he can come in.... who else wants to WhoDat?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

There.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Me and gumbo got the hotel on lock. Smash, lets all figure out a time and place to meet up before the game a grab some beers. WHO F'IN DAT!!!!!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I am making the trip up. If you guys tell me where I will go!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Smash I thought you were coming to my place to watch the game. We might be able to get together before the game with Dub...

Dub if you want to travel to the Burbs to watch the game on a 108" projection TV in THX lets us know.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

O snap. Is that really your living room FF?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

We're coming. Im bringing SuperDome and his girl. (smash, you remember Ed) It looks like we'll be staying in the CBD, also B_Dub, so we'll be neighbors.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

No one will be left here in Houston...:(

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

HEY honeybunny! I think we're doing the kickoff party next week here before we leave. get those videos ready! I'm going to an actual live doctor (something I never do) tomorrow to get rid of this crap im sick of having, whatever it is.

hey look on youtube under "excessive celebration" and look at Canal street--- listen to the honking, sirens, people, etc. --- thats what the whole city sounded like, at least the FQ & CBD until we went to bed. It never stopped.

thats exactly what we heard. It was just eerie.

Oh oh... tell everyone at your other site hello from he who cannot be named.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Count me in. I'll be down there - Armstrong park - for the Barkus parade but have to head back uptown for a party.

When will you guys be coming in? Just the day of the game?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Halo, we're coming in Saturday to see some parades. Barkus was definitely one of the parades we wanted to see. We will stay in the CBD, I'm pretty sure, and cant wait to meet you.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

What day? We're booked on Friday night before the Super Bowl, but if we absolutely had to, we could leave early, around 8pm. Tough tootie to the prior commitment, LOL.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Love the 108 TV ... it would be also cool to hang out with y'all for the game ... where downtown are y'all watching the game? ... I may have nice accommodations at the Royal Sonesta Sunday night. Need to make plan asap!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

We were looking to roll into N.O. saturday morning and see the parades (as many as we can, i understand their scatteredness) You would be just the WEstbank Expert I need for those parades, and also you would know the best places to hang out for the uptown ones.

Ed is coming in Friday night, I think, and staying in Metairie. I'd love to leave Houston friday night and stay halfway, like in Lafayette, for an easy saturday morning drive.

What do you suggest?

Lets you and me and the gang all go barge into Foreverfan's house saturday evening for sure. See if we can drag him out into the city.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Think it might be too crazy downtown if we win? Not really interested in vandalism on my stuff ... game starts 530pm .... any ideas?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

We are coming in from North Carolina, post where the party will be and we're there! All I asked for my birthday is a SUPER BOWL ring!!!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

you know, Smash... i am about 99% sure there wont be any vandalism. I mean as crazy as it got sunday night... and there were thousands of young people, a lot of them in baggy gangstery looking stuff... and everyone was pretty much just wanting to dance.... i dont think anything got broke or burned..... i really dont think you have to worry.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Ill be there at noon on Sunday. I can coordinate this whole thing if yall want me to. Im just gonna throw an idea and let me know if you all agree

Lets pick like 3 spots we can watch the game and then vote on them. Who ever gets the most votes obviously wins and we will all meet up there and watch it together.

Im so crunk, I cant wait. Looking forward to meeting everyone in person.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...

If you guys are coming, let me know. I'm about 20 minutes from downtown.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

FF, come to the quarter and watch the game. Do you just not want to be around all the people all over the streets after we win?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Been to the quarter on Mardi Gras day... Ain't a pretty place. :doh:

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

So Mike, when are you thinking to have a pre-SuperBowl video party? Or we can have a post-celebration party the next weekend, win or lose, to celebrate the season.

Wow, I want to come to NOLA and catch some parades with ya'll...:( Collin has a school play Monday night, and they have their last rehersal during the day on Monday, so he really can't miss school that day...and I don't see driving back all night after the game. So, we're stuck here, it seems. I'm sure there will be others staying here as well...anyone?? Anyone? Bueller?? Bueller???

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

either thursday or friday night... I'm leaning friday, but Ed cant do friday, cuz he's going to Baton Rouge. I have lots O' people I havent seen in a long time--- yourself included... and some of you should meet each other.

btw, do you have any single lady friends? I have this friend... we'll talk...

So, we booked the Holiday in w/ the Clarinet on it !!!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

So what three spots? I'm cool with FF's 108" D.... ... errr...TV .......The Glennietron ... no bathroom to fight ... if we go elsewhere ... not wanting to pay $10 a beer.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Yeah!! This is what I'm talking about!

I get in Saturday afternoon with some buddies - staying at Iberville Suites by the Ritz.

Looking forward to meeting up w everyone...


Anyone know of the best spot to watch the game?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Smash, man better bring an ice chest!!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Me and Ed & the girls just gotta watch the game in the Quarter or the edge of it.

but I definitely want to crash FF's house some time next weekend.

Somebody had a couple of suggestions for bars on Decatur. I like these, but lets kick it around, and see what yall suggest.

bear in mind, I think we're all 30s, 40s, 50s in age, so we probably want a
place that fits our older selves.

great to see you in the number, '76. Its official... this is gonna rock.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Good idea on the ice chest ... almost forgot one can drink in the streets in N.O. ... Texas makes you think otherwise after a while ... maybe a flask ... not sure I wanna haul around 50 lbs of beer!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Smash, since you live down there, what are some good bars in the quarter to watch the game at. Ty cant wait to see you buddy!!!


WHO DAT!!!!

When we win the city is gonna go nuts!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Just booked our room!!! Road trip from Dallas is growing....

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I live in Austin ... but I lived in NO for almost 30 years ... there's a ton of cool bars in the quarter / uptown / downtown ... we need a big screen to enjoy it all ... FF's Glennietron 108" fits that bill ... but I can see the attraction to be in the middle of the celebration .. so let's plan on something real fast y'all.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Local's please pick 3 good spots to watch the game in the quarter.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I just put some feelers out w my local brethren... Should know a "top 3" soon.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I could meet you out on Friday or Saturday. I have to check out the parade list and routes to see what's best to do.

:bng:

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

i defitely want your input on parades and viewing spots, etc.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Getting closer ... yoooohooooo!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

now my cousin and his wife want to come too. we're gonna need a bus

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Damn this is already the longest week ever!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

DW and I just booked our tix to come down....might be interesting in hooking up with the group depending on what gets put together.
