Re: So, How did YOU Celebrate? (For those who have stopped anyway!)
I can't say I was at some huge party or celebrating in the Quarter (since I am no where remotely close to there). This day was so monumental to me I simply could not be around anyone. I was alone in my basement watching it. The rest of my family was upstairs together but I just could not do it. I was far too emotional a time for me and I just needed to experience it privately and they understood that. I am still without words and lose my breath even thinking about the moments during the game and tear up every time someone mentions we have won the Super Bowl. It is sinking in slowly day after day. The greatest time in sports in my entire life. I am gonna throw one hell of a kick off party this September though!

Re: So, How did YOU Celebrate? (For those who have stopped anyway!)
Pretty simple. Once Porter intercepted the pass to seal the deal, my group exploded and hugged everyone in the bar. We were at Jimani on Iberville. We then paid our monstrous tab as quickly as possible and RAN to Bourbon St. We got there just as time was expiring, and let's just say it felt like the Earth was shaking. I hugged probably 200 strangers in a matter of 10 minutes and spent the rest of the night walking the French Quarter from Bourbon (which got too crowded) to Royal, following a drummer with a large crowd to the St. Louis Cathedral where I prayed at the front door. To Frenchman St, where I got more drinks, back to Canal St. where we danced with hundreds of people in front of the Sheraton to the Ying Yang twins. They had the Halftime song on loop so people were just line dancing all night to it. Finally back to the hotel for a victory cigar on Decataur, followed by passing out for a couple of hours until I could get up and go buy as many newspapers as I could get my hands on.
Let's just say, it was one of the greatest nights if not the greatest night of my life. The one thing I will remember forever is the sound. Pure joy for HOURS. I've never heard that many people so happy at once in my life. You can't manufacture that kind of emotion and it's very hard to explain unless you were there. I'm grateful that I got to be there. |

I remember outside my balcony at 2am at the Holiday Inn on Loyola, the people on the streets were so loud, it sounded like there was a football game going on outside.
