The Sugar Bowl back in New Orleans where it belongs
After a one year hiatus because of Katrina, the Sugar Bowl is back on Poydras in the newly renovated Super Dome. The fans of whichever teams go to the Sugar Bowl will have one rollicking good new years time in the Big Easy. Many parts of the city are still wiped out but Canal Street from the river up to the dome and all across the French Quarter businesses are up and running just waiting for you to come dine and drink and show your tits. Would love for the Hogs to come calling.

1. I was actually wondering if that would screw up my plans
still tentative, but now actively working on it, to show up (finally!) after the first of the year. I was thinking it might be easier to book from the 4th onward, not to mention less crazy for Mom, who would be joining me from NYC and has zero interest in college football.

Sorry, I don't have any tits to show -- and Mom is now happily remarried. :P

As for last year's game, it shouldn't have been called the Sugar Bowl. The DaimlerChrysler Traffic Bowl, perhaps, or the Soulless Corporate Office Park Bowl. Atlanta already has a bowl game, not to mention an NFL team whose QB just reminded everyone that they're Number One. :evilgrin: Or was that his IQ? :P

2. The 4th onward would work out mighty fine
and you will be welcomed with open arms. At least when the Saints were losing they were loveable; the falcons and that all universe, superstar quarterback of theirs are just downright pathetic. No doubt, the Falcons will rebound and win the next eight superbowls!! I have to chuckle at myself sometimes.

Married, not showing tits ??? Does not compute. I cajoled my sister in law from Kansas to get her some beads but it took a little imbibation. Brother in law was in no condition to object at the time; however he appreciated the beads. Ah, hedonism. I guess I could have been a good conservative and killed something.

I hope you have a fantastic visit.

3. Wish they could have remodeled the dome to get rid of the upper deck slope.
Man, you get up there and think you are just going to pitch right out of your seat every time you try to stand up - really doesn't pay to drink and sit up there.

4. That is scary
but the alcohol offsets the equilibrium problem so you stand up straighter without even trying. I recall a similar situation in the old ballpark in Cincinnatti. Really a bizarre feeling to look down.
