NOLA,baby


    Want to know how to celebrate Mardi Gras?

That was the idea behind me packing up and hitching a ride in our live truck all the way to the crescent city, to show Houstonians how to ring in their Fat Tuesday.
That was Friday.
Then the Saints pulled one out on Sunday and won a silly little thing called the Superbowl.

Now, Tuesday night I'm bloggin' from a hotel room before we head back.

It's been a couple of days of busy busy. live shots from Bourbon street for 2 nights then tonight live from the route of the Victory parade.  All things equally as cool.

 Also cool- a few of the guys I met tonight are production for the new Ryan Reynolds movie 'Green Lantern', they're apparently filming in NOLA in just a few weeks.
How exciting! 

  Now to what I'm really looking forward to- logging and writing to all of my great Mardi Gras video for Monday and Fat Tuesday.

  We've got some great stuff playing around in the French Quarter, checking out the longest running parade krew in NOLA history, some king cake fanatics waiting hours in the cold for the best in town.

Catch it on 39 News the day before Fat Tuesday and on the big day!
