The Night We Drank That Dixie Down
 

Hey Mike, Ed, Casey...check out this video, especially the picture at about 3:09!!!


I gotta get that song onto my Saints playlist, too!

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

Did you all see this article and video at KHOU.com?

HOU Dat? Houston fans to party Saints-style for Super Bowl Sunday | khou.com | Houston News, Local News, Breaking News, Weather | Local News

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

Whoa, our tailgate picture. Where did they get that, Kellye?

I saw that Hou-DAt story on Channel 11 last night, yes. They had Gunnar on camera. Which reminds me, Woodrows emailed me and Ed.... Said they were having a Zydeco band, which is an awesome idea. I let him know that I highly recommend anyone staying in Houston go to Woodrow's-- the hangout of the Hou-Dats.

Here is what Rob told me & Ed:

"Hey Guys!
I’m getting my “DJ” to come in for Super Bowl to run the music for us. Can you send me a list for songs ya’ll would like played that we can download? I’m also getting a zydeco band for the afternoon to give us a little entertainment before my HOU-DATS start rootin on them Saints! We’re getting the place & staff together next week- let me know if there’s anything ya’ll would like for us to do. I’m looking at trying to also get the parking lot across the street so we’ll have extra parking. The parking garage is already taken care of for the game. (I’m also getting a shotblock made- should make for interesting pics!!)"

Let me know if yall have requests for Woodrow's music.

I can tell you Ragin Cajun on Richmond will be a hoot also.
Every sportsbar in SE TX is gonna be Black and Gold. I would love to hear what's going on wherever you are, also, in places like Baytown, Clear Lake, etc.

Of course Me, Ed, Edvina, Casey, and I lost count of who else, will be in New Orleans.

Marc, you can ride with us. Do you have a place to stay?

Those of you making the trip to N.O., here is the "I'll Be Going To New Orleans" thread:

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

Mike

on the ride, i'm about 50/50 right now cause i might take the car and ruff it till Mardi Gras

but i do need a place to stay for a night or 2 but right now my cash can only cover gas for the car, the ten dollar cover, maybe something to eat and YES i'll be glad to sleep on the floor i did it for Out of Town AirHockey Tournaments and for this i'll be glad to it

but i will WORK to make it up, if even i have to help you with your DJ gigs i'll do anything so that i can be HOME for the Saints first SuperBowl

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

I think I can help you. give me a call.

Im leaving early saturday morning, cuz we want some parades.

--- who else is making the trip and when are you leaving?

should we just get a bus, yall?

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

i'll call you after 7pm when you are off work

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

As much as it's killing me, I have to stay here this weekend instead of partying in N.O. Can't take off work on Monday, so I'll be stuck here watching instead. At least you guys will be having a great time over there.

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

I'll be staying in Houston for the game. I couldn't get off for Monday and my mom wanted to watch the game with her boys at her home. We might come treck on down to Woodrow's after the game if we have any party left in us

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

naa, call me while Im at work.
Bruz, what is up??? Say hi to Karen. Honestly, you might be better off at that bar in Atascocita anyway. They're charging huge covers in the FQ. Check this damn board more, because we're having a party @ my house the week afterward, and you gotta wear a dress.
Get your dress ready too.
AWESOME AVATAR, btw.

Hey, remember if you are driving to N.O. let us know when you're gonna be on the road. I found a great place to eat in the swamp.

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

I wish I would have known about your dress party...my son was in the Buddy D parade last Sunday and I could have used his. But I'm sure that thing's long gone by now.

You know, everyone in N.O. knew about that parade, but there's no chance that Houston cops would be aware of your party. Hope I don't get stopped. There would be some 'splaining to do.

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

Let me know if you do...we may meet you there, or somewhere between. We'll be at home too. I want to soak in every word, every detail, and every angle of the pregame show and the game itself.

Hey Mike, looky what I may open up for our celebration party!!! Yes, it's Bobby Hebert "Cajun Cannon" cabernet, and Drew Brees "Vintage Brees" chardonnay. :)

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

It just never stops. There is more Saints stuff, I am convinced---EASILY--- more Saints stuff than any other team in all of Sports.

HEY ANYBODY COMING TO NEW ORLEANS THIS WEEKEND, PM me your number.

I am making a B&G phone list, so we can all get together.

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

Mike

Call me

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

whats up Hou-Yats. myself, Mike, and Kayce are here and we about to get the party started WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

I am one exhausted, broken, penniless, voiceless, happy, wreck of a man this morning.

The party isnt over folks. Cant do Friday or Saturday.... (gigs, gigs, I got gigs)
What do you think about Mardi Gras night? Im scared to do the next weekend, because of those of you who are actually practicing Catholics.

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

Hey Mike, just speaking for myself & Ms HY, we can wait till you have a Fri or Sat off to get together. Mardi Gras night sounds great until you start thinking about Wednesday morning at 5am or earlier in your case. JMO.

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

Staying up late doesnt bother me, because my morning shift is only 4 hours, then I can go home and nap. What about the rest of you's?
Is FAt Tuesday a bad night to stay up a bit?

Ed & SunShine want to host it too. I cant go to San Antonio. Eds house works for me,,,

but my house might be more central for everybody, plus I'm easier to find. Ed lives in a between a puzzle & a maze. But yall all have fancy GPS, so thats only a problem for me, I think. Just remember GPS, cant graphically describe traffic like I can.

Oh yeah,, we're buying a new tv--- I need help picking one.

but whatever yall think is good for me... I like Eds house too.

I'm cool with waiting till the next weekend, but then the Catholics cant drink, can they?

Ed, where are you?

btw, we had a scary moment on Bourbon Sunday night, when Sunshine got swept in the human tide all the way to Canal St. I just want you to know I jumped back into the current & tried to find her, but it was fruitless. Glad to see you're ok, Edv.

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

Lent doesn't necessarily affect Catholic drinking. Only if you decide to give up drinking. We have wine at every Mass so it would be kinda silly to say you can't drink EXCEPT at church.

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

aha. you are right. Well, what does a whiskey drinking Baptist know?
Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, me...

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

sooo.. I'm leaning on throwing a party friday night. we can do this tomorrow (fat tuesday) if yall want.

So, Hou-Dats--- the official Houston Super Bowl Celebration is coming soon, (we're waiting on Lent to end for my Catholic friends)

Looks like we're crashing Pope Ed I's house. Looks like April 9th. Stay Tuned!

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

Just moved to Houston a year ago from Lafayette. Family member asked me how it was living in Texas. My reply

"My heart will ALWAYS be in Louisiana, but I am glad my ass is in Texas."
