Rockin

hey folks! Nice to see some people from North Louisiana for a change. Usually run into alot of people further south. Snow whatcha-ma-call it is my better half. and honey we are going to the Monroe parade.

Anybody have any info on the Shreveport parade, would be most welcome. I havent even thought about going to the one over there.

not my fault you came up with a complicated name. Should have kept it down to one. You'll be aight.

Sapph
The Sherveport parades start tomorrow and next saterday about dark.The rout will be down under the I20 on the parkway and go down to the Shreveport/Barksdale bridge turn on Sp/Bksdale hw past wall mart to kings hw..6 miles for both parades.Lots of places to park but folks need to get there fairly early.Last year they had plenty of vendors selling all kinds of stuff.I expect because its the night before the superbowl its going to be quite a show for the Saints as well.It will also be on local TV 3,12 and or 6 maybe on 21 or 24.The weather will be sorta cold but rain is not expected.
Rockin

Thanks for all the info Rockin. Don't know if we'll make the one tomorrow night or not. We will probably go to the one in Monroe tomorrow night. Might try to catch the one next weekend though. Will take to talk to the better half and she what she wants to do.

Sapph
The invite still stands if u or anyone else wants to go to the parades,pm me.Injoy the parade in monrow,to bad it wont be on local tv,hear anyway.Im prolly going to watch it from home,sofar I have been involved in catering food for people in the parade and by tomorrow will be burned out from all the high energy thats going on.With the saints excitement added to an all ready excited bunch of folks its just plane crazy hear.Flur de lis feaver is on.

Snowkisses
This week its the Crew of Centuar and next week is Crew of Appolo,boy do they ever try to out do each other every year.Yes thats right,I20 west and keep going till u go over the red river and u r in Shreveport.if u all do came pm me and I will give u directions to get to my place or any other place close to the parade.
Rockin

Thanks for the invite Rockin. I'm sure all the parades are going to have Saints overload going on. Should be interesting to see a bunch of drunk rednecks in full on Saints war paint walking around.

Darlin, correct my sentence structure as you see fit. I type much like I speak. You should know this by now. I only type correctly for work.

Are you in Monroe???

Lets say down town shreveport is haveing a pep rally this evening wich may be over by now..but as I was driveing home from the centaur whare house the place was wall to wall saints out fits,u could hear the band playing for miles.U bet its rednecks and drunks abound already,I told all my buds who were going to be out raiseig heck that I was out of the bailing out biusness this year..if u get caught just stay till u sober up.Stoped by wally world on the way home and they cant keep up with the football related supplys cause as soon as they go out they r gone...poof!
Rockin

Give a state its first super bowl showing in franchise history and everyone goes completely insaine. Although, I think thats a requirement for living here anyway. Even if we dont make it over for the parades this year, I'm sure we'll be heading west bound before long anyway. Ive got family over there that I need to go see in a dire way, that I keep putting off. We'll have to grab a bite to eat or something, Rockin.

Sapph
Insanity is or should be a requirement to live hear...somehow in all my years I have managed not to lose to many marbles of corse being able to just over look lots of things hepls lots.Do let me know if u and yours are comeing this way and we will meet up..just pm me and I will send u my phone number.Take care folks
Rockin

LOL well Rockin, I guess I never had any marbles to loose. I thought it was a requirement. We'll be sure to let you know. Of course, I'm sure you'll see one and/or both of us beating around the forums. Her, more so, than me. I sure I'll be kinda quiet till I find my feet around here, and get out of my shyness.

ummm honey, darlin, sweetheart. you are soooo not missing insanity.

Shy.... *cough cough* ha.

*glares* I am shy at first dammit

Hellooo,boy is it cold outside.I've been just geting back from the parade,I hear there were 100 units in it and it went on forever..I remember the first one that had 25 units all told.The float loading was a blast,the foods all gone,everyone is either dead tired or to drunk to know it.Me,well im drinking a strong cup of french roast coffee before my shower so I thought I would relax and check ot the planet.
Rockin

Snowkisses
I do heartly agree on the temp being no lower that 60,preferably no more than 75 with a bit of a breeze..that and palm trees and a cold anything will do the trick.
I understand how Sapph feels about curbing a fue ppl who need it,folks like that are a pest and ruin the party.Hear a fue years ago someone was running after floats to catch stuff and got hurt bad..so now all floats are suposed to have folks walk on the ground to keep this from happening again not to mention the popo who are every where.I'm glad u had fun and the little one got some goodies.
Well im going of to the shower and hit the sack till who knows when,catch u 2 later.
Rockin

Glad you made it home safe Rockin. Drunk rednecks are out in full force. I held Snow's hand as we walked back to the truck. People tend to get retarded after the parades. Sweet dreams and rest well

Thanks Stapph I know I will be out the second my head hits the pillow.The drunks were in high gear to night,thought I gonna have to teach a couple:beerfunnel: a bit of manners..I was comeing out of the bathroom dureing the float party..corse u know the bathroom thing pops up when u least expect it to,anyhoo I was told I was in the wrong room and to get out.Being I was in levis,button down shirt with a t shirt under it ...I went mardi gras on them by unbuttoning my shirt and flashing my queer tshirt that says I own the D and I run the F.Yep they were two surprised ppl,I laughed my ass off and contenued on.Night.
