Kaseimo will be there with me, all blingy and gold.

We'd better get there early. I might even park at my building and walk.

WifeUnit, was the trumpet player there last game?

We should hire a Jazz band.

Brandon, are you going to the game?

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

We're still afraid to show up....

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Yes, the trumpet player was there last game. Hope he's there tomorrow!

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

I still have Popeyes and beer left over. Thank God the weekend is over though--- everybody I know wants to eat, drink, & watch football. I love everybody, but I need rest. good thing I'm back at work, where I can get some.

So, who's going to New Orleans this weekend? Im tempted to have a kick off party at my house Friday night. Does anyone have a single lady friend for my nice friend who has boats?

For those of US going to N.O. this weekend, here's the caravan thread:

http://blackandgold.com/saints/21454...-i-10-a-6.html

We're going to New Orleans, baby!

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Thanks for the company, the chicken and the beer (even if I didn't drink any) Gumbeau and I had a great time.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Hey, I owe yall a case of beer. geez, we're getting old, when there's beer left over.

I'm still planning the romantic Louisiana weekend.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

The beer is for the party at your house Friday.

Not getting old....just better at planning ahead.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

yes thanks Mike & Kacey for allowing us come to your home, i'm truly honor thank you so much

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

should we have a kickoff party tomorrow night? Show old videos of saints games past. maybe some poker. got all this beer/liquor going to waste. need an excuse.

also, need single lady for my single friend.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

dont matter, just let me know when to show up

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Sounds like fun, won't be able to make it cause I have to play doctor Friday for Tiff but believe me I'll be in the dome come Sunday

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

hey marc can you give me a call? I want you to get that tv, if you can.

Brandon! You and Tiff are going to the game??? so are we!

staying at Oak Alley Saturday night.

no tv there. hmmm....

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Are you sure about that? Some of the cottages have TV and wireless internet. Who needs TV anyway, this is supposed to be a "romantic" getaway isn't it?:)

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Poker and bourre with Saints in the background sounds perfect.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

I'm being facetious. We wont need no tv. bruhaha....
You got a decent portable grill?

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Yes but what are you grilling?

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

I dont know. I'm leaning toward chicken.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!! Sorry we couldn't make it to your place, Mike -- Drew had to sing early Sunday morning, and except for the game, it had been such a lousy week we were just exhausted. Thanks for the invite, though! I love the idea of watching old Saints videos; as I said, I've got a few golden oldies, plus some of this years' games on the DVR that I need to put onto a dvd. We need to have a Saints movie night, for sure...

Have a safe trip to the game! Sunday is my birthday, and you all KNOW what I want!!! GEAUX SAINTS!! I honestly don't know how I'll react with a Saints win (notice I'm not saying "when" they win...I'm still supersticious that way, LOL). My guess is that I'll bawl like a baby. Heck, I tear up now just thinking about it...

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

aw shoot, KEL, I was hoping you could come. The video thing I stole from you, anyway. I guess you know we're sleeping in Oak Alley Saturday night, because I wanted this weekend to be perfect all around. ...if the boogers dont get us.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Couple nice little places to eat on the east bank if you're interested both close to the Sunshine bridge. The Cabin at the intersection of HWYs 22 and 44 in Burnside is pretty cool if you haven't been there. They combined some old slave houses to build it and the restrooms are made from an old cistern. Lots of old tools hanging up and the wall coverings are from old newspapers. Courtyard in the back where my wife and I got married. Then on river road in Convent about 5 miles from the bridge just past the Zenoh grain elevator there is Hymels (pronounced E-mels) very casual seafood dining. You walk in to see the locals at the bar and a variety of stuffed animals the kids may like to see. Excellent fried frog legs and seafood. The fried chicken is good also. Draft beer served in a mug the size of a fish bowl.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Hey Mike, we doing this or what, if so what time you want to cras eeeeeeerrrrrrrrr come over???

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

aw crap.... cant get the evening drive shift off, as I wanted. (click on your radio, you hear)

tonights party is postponed.... so we can make it a super bowl kickoff party next week. Anyway if we do it next week, more of our
Hou Dat regulars can make it, and I'd like to get all of you together in one place.

catch yall on the road tomorrow morning. I have no idea where we're going first.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

Good, it gives me more time to get videos together, assuming I can find them...some may be with my brother in law, putting them on DVD.

I'm starting to feel sick, I'm so nervous about tomorrow...

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

heading out now, if you need me text me at 281-352-9814

Marc

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

5 hours in and we are pack but i want more fans. Who Dats lend me your ears and lets get that torphy

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I'm still shaking, really. WOW.

Marc, was Ed there? I talked to Mike a few minutes ago...Drew was working until 5:30, and was only minutes from the house, so we stayed here rather than miss the first quarter driving to Woodrows. I'm sure this was a pretty emotional game for him...it was for me. I sobbed like a baby. I still cannot believe it...WOW.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

hey kellye, of course he was there, in fact he got to DJ the Saints songs from his Iphone all night, man mardi gras got kick to high gear at Woodrows last night we where so emoinal it's not funny oh man it was GREAT

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

alright guys, i hate to be a ball-buster but we need to start Planing if we are going to New Orleans for the SuperBowl

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, about the upcoming trip... We are going, OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superdome is too exhausted after last night's trip to SAT and then back to HOU a few hours later (had to bring me back -details later...), which is probably why he hasn't checked with you all yet... but WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I said last night at the game, short of my successful move to the US years ago, I don't remember the last time I was so emotional and happy for the person I love... and for the entire WHODAT NATION, which now includes me too. Mike, I totally see now why and how you converted years ago... Who wouldn't with THIS kind of faith and karma, all in one??? I had to pull some heavy praying in the few last minutes of the game... and I am not even good at it... but it worked!! At least I believe it did! :-)

Mark is right... Last night was so much more special because of NOLA/SAINTS tunes that Superdome so skillfully played for all WHODATS there... DarlinK, you are awesome! I love you... and I loved how SAINTS fought last night for the Superbowl!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4EVERWHODAT

PS I decided to adopt Shockey and quickly... the season is almost over... in case he decides to visit Vegas again, he needs my loving care on how and where to drink ... and what... plus who else feels so happy for him when he scores? His real Mom doesn't count - she is suppossed to! :-)
:p;):cool::)

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

ok, we're back... im gonna write in "new times teenager" because i have so much to catch up on, so damn puncutation/captization etc.

got back last night... took our time, and did some shopping, and ate a damn good meal in henderson just past the basin bridge.

took the scenic route heading there, thru crowley, kaplan, abbeville... what a great drive, and i never really got a good look at avery island, so we went. never stopped in morgan city before, so we got off the road, and had a drink with some regulars on "skid row" as they called it. ate mediocre food in vacherie, and stayed at oak alley... just a perfect weekend.

this is my first time online since friday.

saturday was almost normal in the quarter. random parades for no reason, everybody decked out--- nothing was blowing up yet.
you saw the game, so I'll just tell you I didnt really get worried till about 5 min left in the 4th, just because I didnt want to blow it. i told casey if the vikings get inside the 40, we lose. and sure enough they got there... so i was just thinking about all the things i am thankful for, and reasons to be happy. then farve brain-favred, but i still didnt feel good about OT.

then we got close, but all i could think was that hartley chokes. then he lines up, and im thinking, if we dont hit this, we're gonna lose, but it didnt occur to me we could win (i know the rules) but that didnt sink in....

as the ball crossed in slow motion, i didnt really trust my eyes, but the crowd shrieked like the beatles just walked in and then the confetti went off, and i couldnt speak .... i just did the "here she is---miss america" face. embarresed a little, then noticed other dudes crying....

they didnt even try to keep people off poydras... illegal fireworks were going off from the tailgate areas... the walk back was unbelieveable... sirens and lights and people hugging and going into the street to high five drivers. bourbon street was impassible, unless you were 20 and had stilts. neither describes me. other FQ streets were nearly as crazy... dauphine, iberville, it didnt matter same story--- cars gridlocked, but happy, everybody's honking and hollering. sirens kept going.... lights kept flashing... you know, i want to be respectful here, but it kind of looked like a disaster, except everybody was happy.

i didnt see anybody fighting, or even talking much ****. nothing was torn up or burned. the worst thing i saw was horribly dressed young girls in poor physical shape dancing equally horribly, and hopefully their family will never know.

im disappointed we couldnt stay awake longer, but at 2am, we had a nightcap in the bar, hugged more crying men and their wives, and turned in. the streets were still honking and who-dating, and i went onto poydras one more time, just to make people honk and yell some more, before succumbing to exhaustion. local tv was still All Saints All the Time.

I got up at 5:30 to call my replacement at work friend, and to grab some times picayunnes.... somebody please put an extra 150 in a TP dispenser, and I'll pay you back. I owe them. sorry, meant to do that on the way out.

cant wait to see everybody. lets find a way to get together and celebrate. thanks for keeping this thread alive.

Re: Houston & SE TX Saints Fans Unite! Speak Up!
 

I finally found the thread! Please let me know when and where the party is, and I'll try to make it! Thanks!!!
