Laissez les bons temps rouler

At least one New Orleans-based Who Dat, who goes by the name of “Jimbeaux61”, has already made his plans for Super Bowl Sunday, which happens to be nine days before Mardi Gras.

Says Jimbeaux61: “Breakfast will be beignets and cafĂ© au lait at the French Market. A two-block walk for Bloody Marys at Margaritaville. Catch a Mardi Gras parade on Canal Street. A shrimp po-boy at Johnny’s in the Quarter. A Hurricane at Pat O’Brien’s. Stroll over to the Superdome parking lot for tailgating. Early dinner at Galatoire’s. More Hurricanes at Pat O’Brien’s. Watch the Saints beat the Colts at the Absinthe House. Back to Canal Street for another parade. Close out the night on Bourbon Street. Sleep till Tuesday. Get ready for the draft. Geaux Super Bowl Champions.”

Sounds like a good day.
