New Orleans/Superbowl

My son was in NOLA, not fortunate enough to get tickets but he said it was the most fun he has ever had. Got a few pics.

Hey! I think you wrote to me about your son being in New Orleans. I'm glad he had fun while here. There are no words to describe the wonderful feel of this city with the Saints Superbowl bound. I am going back to the 30A area next week to look for my new home and it just so happens it is the week of the magic of the Saints going to the Superbowl. Everyone will know who I am rooting for. You can't miss the black and gold. YEAH SAINTS!!!! Just when this city really needed it. I may be moving but New Orleans is my home. I'm just looking for another home. I hope all is going well with ya'll and thanks for writing when you did. It is nice to have people to talk to since I am new to all of this. Have a great weekend. Oh, this time I am staying in Sandestin in Baytown in the Pilot House. It is a little village all of it's own. A great place to watch the game. Walk out of my door and I'm there. Best wishes to you and your family. Keep in touch. Brenda:clap_1:

Saints of course!!!

:bow::bow: No one could have said it better than you did. I live in New Orleans and I have no nails left after that game. But they made it! What a blessing. It is amazing what something like this can do for a city. Although from here I just happened to be coming back (been there several times and feel in love with the area) to look for a very long term rental. Making a major change in my life and it so happens I'll be in Florida when the Saints are in the SUPERBOWL!!!! We just can't say that enough. Thought I'll be among strangers rooting them on I know it will be great because the people are just so nice there. They will also have no question about who I am rooting for. The black and gold I will be sporting tells it all. Other than the Saints this city is not a nice place to live anymore. I need the calm and peacefulness of the 30A area. I've never felt so at peace in my life. Time for a change. Your post was great and thanks for taking the time to inspire everyone!!!!

Are you man enough to wear a dress?

Parade of men in dresses to run the gamut from tiaras to work boots

By Katy Reckdahl, The Times-Picayune

January 30, 2010, 6:42PM


Craig Sanders will look the New Orleans Saints fan from bottom to top Sunday, from his fishnet stockings and glittery gold sandals to a platinum blonde wig topped with a fleur de lis tiara.
"He's going to make us look bad," said his friend Steve Johns. "Or maybe he'll make himself look bad."
If Sanders and his friends are an indication, Sunday's parade of men in dresses promises to be a mix of guys dolled up in stylish evening dresses and heels and other guys stomping around in boots and $4 thrift-store dresses, chest hair spilling from their cleavages.
The parade is in honor of legendary local sportscaster Buddy Diliberto, who vowed to don a dress and dance through the streets if the Saints ever made it to the Super Bowl. Diliberto died in 2005, before he had a chance to make good on his promise.

Woof Dat?! Even our pets are New Orleans Saints fans

There's an adorable video going around the Facebook and Twitter pages of New Orleans Saints fans showing a Who Dat pooch cheering on the team during the NFC Championship game. In case you haven't seen it, it's posted it below.

But this dog isn't the only one. New Orleans pets have become die-hard Saints fans this season. Take the Krewe of Barkus 2010 theme for example: Barkus goes Tailgating: The Dogs go Barking In.

Look into any doggy daycare boutique around town, and you'll see they have all the Saints gear a puppy could dream of. Even my terrier mutt Big Chief Iggy, who likes to tear apart new toys, does not try to bite off his Saints jersey. He loves it (I think)!

Mardi Gras and Super Bowl: Does it get any better than this, New Orleans?

By Mark Waller, The Times-Picayune

January 31, 2010, 4:25AM

Nobody has ever collected data to describe the convergence of events that is about to unfold in New Orleans.
No historical precedent exists to guide us.
The scientific instruments have yet to be invented to measure this reality: The New Orleans Saints are in the Super Bowl. The next week is Mardi Gras.

?I think it?s going to be insane,? said Ardley Hanemann, president of the Krewe of Orpheus, which will feature a float carrying coach Sean Payton. ?I think it?s going to be over the top, the intensity, the energy and the jubilation, the spirit, the absolute abandon and love.?

And that?s before we know the outcome of the title game. Who knows what will happen if the team wins in Miami?

The Super Bowl has at times coincided with the last Sunday of Carnival season, the roll day of Bacchus, creating a party atmosphere befitting the Crescent City, and the 2002 Super Bowl held in New Orleans required some parade rescheduling. But the Saints? first appearance in one of the world?s biggest sporting events in the middle of the Carnival season has rocketed the city?s mood into the stratosphere.

?The Saints have brought in a new altitude of fun,? said Dan Kelly, owner of the Mardi Gras outfitter Beads by the Dozen in Elmwood. ?Everybody?s sky-high.?

On Thursday, Beads by the Dozen received 300 dozen generic black and gold beads with fleur de lis medallions. They sold out in four hours.

The store also can?t keep official Saints beads in stock. And next week, Kelly said, the stampede of Who Dats through his doors will surely resume when he receives the first shipment of official Super Bowl beads.
