Found out last week that we're going next February. Me, wife, 2 kids (girls, 5 and 3) and about 15 other people. Evidentially, while all the crazy poo happens on Bourbon st, there are other "family friendly" areas of N.O. Not real familiar with any of it, although I heard you get to wear goofy masks and drink all week. Anyone here been before? Stories pls.

Oh and some couple at a halloween party was telling me I had to get a gree gree bag... WTF?

Most of the parades in New Orleans during the daytime are family friendly. Stay clear of Bourbon St. Obviously it's not family friendly and it gets too packed to navigate without getting crushed and stomped and the entire area smells like vomit and piss.

Metairie, which is a suburb of New Orleans has a lot of family oriented activities. The main attraction is "Family-Gras" celebration with parade, food, and concerts. It's a pretty good time. I saw Zac Brown Band there a couple of years ago.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
