-Pirates
-Parades
-Shrimp po' boys and remoulade
-People marching with anti-sin placards and bullhorns professing that we were all going to hell
-A stolen purse, phone and identification somewhere on Canal St.
-Abita Amber
-Gumbo
-Red beans and rice
-Street performers
-Drinks at Pat O'Brien's (Hurricanes, Sky Labs, Cyclones, Mint Julep, a Bloody Mary, a Pousse Cafe (I'm told I said it tasted like turpentine)).
-Debauchery.

Yep. That about sums it up.

To the people at Pat O' Brien's on Sunday - I'm sorry. Well, mostly. To the cute little frat boys buying me drinks, I'm not sorry. You needed to be corrupted. To everyone else, please - let's just repeat it all together - what happens in N'awlins stays in N'awlins. That should include the pictures and film as well. Pretty please?
