New Orleans Saints Undefeated will it be a Perfect Season?

Geaux Saints! 

Who Dat! 

You Gotta Have Faith!

I'm totally on the bandwagon and cheering for win after win. I want to see the New Orleans Saints go to the Super Bowl and take it home...

there's just one little thing, I'm a Dolphins Fan (see "Perfect Season") and kinda, sorta want to keep the Perfect Season title in Miami :) 

So Geaux Saints, take home a Super Bowl Win.. but blow just one game.

Jazz Fest 2009 photos found on the web

I didn't make it to Jazz Fest this year, but followed a bunch of you folks on TWITTER. Special thanks to Jambase for creating @nojf a great BOT to follow for never ending #jazzfest updates.

I took a run around the web and found bunches of photos and reviews from the 2009 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Here are just a few albums and slideshows...

Mardi Gras Parade Schedule 2009

The question of Mardi Gras season, When do the Parades Roll?

New Orleans - Mardi Gras Parade Schedule

The Green room is smoking, and the Plaza buning down
Throw my baby out the window, let those joints burn down
All because it's Carnival Time

2009 Jazz Fest shirt design (aka shameless self-promotion)

With all of the Jazz Fest buzz about the lineup for 2009, this seems like a good time to unveil a new festive design, to compliment the festival.

The design is available on caps, over a dozen shirt styles, tote bags, mugs, buttons, magnets and stickers. http://www.cafepress.com/jazzfest09
