Heading out early Saturday morning.

Here we go. I have a gig saturday night, so we're gonna spend the night in Breaux Bridge--wont get there till about 3am. Hopefully I wont run over any gators this time. Its all good. We'll be in our seats before kickoff.

I'm probably going to try my new backroad escape route from the Dome. Its actually longer distance-wise, but if I dont miss my entrance onto the CCC, I can get moving faster, get to Baton Rouge at a decent time, and not have to play bumper tag with the entire WB population of the Gulf Coast.

We'll get hungry when we get back toward Lafayette, and you're all welcome to join us for a seafood victory dinner. Suggestions?

Oh yeah, and my wife thinks I'm nuts, but I'm trying to install my CB this week. wooooo!

We try to get back as early as possible after the game because 5 am comes fast on Monday. I will bring one of our walkie-talkies from work to see if I hear you just tell me a channel. We always go outside of Allegro's for pregame cocktails which is between Loyola and Rampart I do believe 1 block off of Poydras. Stop by for a drink. Can't miss me and my wife, we are both 6'2" and probably smoking a cigar, yes both of us.

Here's one for you guys....

YouTube - Bachman Turner Overdrive - Roll On Down The Highway

We rented a truck and a semi to tow
Travel down the long and divided road
Look on the map I think we've been there before,
Close up the doors, let's roll once more.

Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write
I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight,
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see,
Look in the mirror, is he still followin' me?

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway,
Roll, roll.

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place
Move out boys, let's get ready to race
454 coming over the hill
The man on patrol is going to give us a bill.

The time's real short, you know the distance is long
I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep movin' if we're going to make a buck.

Let it roll down the highway, . . .

I know about 5am, man. Try talking to Houston at 5:30 and trying to make sense, with little voice left, and blurry eyes. Please lets WIN!

If we get there early enough, Allegros sounds great. We're both short.

I have no idea what I am doing with the CB but I'm getting excited.

HEY FF. -- you couldnt have picked a cooler song. I never could understand a thing Fred Turner sings, but love listening. I think BTO was my 1st concert.

Yea... love the song and the first time I've actually understood the lyrics.
Does Houston listeners know you a Saints sport nut?

What happened... did you get a splinter in your dinghy?

absolutely they do. Its on my bio page for my station, and my morning show stars always
give me crap about it on the air. Its always the 1st thing they mention when they throw it to me on Monday morning. Sometimes I'll reference a freeway moving "smoothly, like a Drew Brees pass," which gets me boo'ed in the studio---hahaha.... Texans fans....ha! I've thrown in lots of quiet "WhoDat's too.

If you liked the other video, you will love this one. PG-15.

YouTube - BTO - Takin' Care Of Business (A Sexier Version)!

Man, I am gonna be so excited just to get on the Interstate tomorrow night. I wish I could drive all the way to N.O. after I get thru rocking my crowd at the gig tomorrow night. But the Lady says, "No, we're sleeping in Lafayette." Alright, maybe I'll be unwound by Lafayette. Which is ok, we can have boudin & eggs, and cross the Atchafalaya bridge in the morning. ("Born on tha Bayou-- Bowmp Bowmp Bowmp!)

I'm checking Tx and La. DOTs this evening, and will post any construction
I know of scheduled on I-10.

Lafayette Folks: Do yall know of any construction? Speed traps?

I still prefer hwy 73 after Winnie, Tx --Pt. Arthur- Orange back to I-10
over that damn Wall O' Death between Beaumont & Orange. even thought that's where I ran over the gator last season. Its a straightaway from Winnie to P.A. and you could do 90 easily, but that would be illegal, so, of course, I wont endorse that--- just sayin.

Going to get my CB antenna right now. dont know if its gonna work.

Hou-Dats on the way --- GEAUX!
