SATURDAY!  HALLOWEEN!  Are you ready for it?  Do you have a costume?  Will you dressing like a naughty schoolgirl?  And how about you women - what will you dress as?  Folks, we're still here in New Orleans and things are getting crazy!  Halloween is second only to Mardi Gras and it REALLY brings out the....ah....er.....er.....kooks!  But that's a good thing right?  We learned that equation in Jr. High math class:  KOOK = KINKY = FUN!   It's the "associative property,"  right?

By sundown there will be over half a million people wandering the streets of the French Quarter all dressed (or undressed hopefully) in costumes.  Of course this overwhelming sight can only be truly enjoyed after consuming large quantities of beer (Budweiser, Baby!  Sponsor of Riding4Beer!).  Actually, most things are more enjoyable after drinking a lot of beer - like working on your car, attending your kid's parent/teacher conference, buying a new mobile home with a subprime loan - It's all good!

Look, you have your way of dealing with stress and we have ours.  But tonight is a "stress-free" evening for all of us (including YOU!).  It's the one day that we all can dress like our inner self and not be embarrassed.  Remember, if anyone suspects that you really are an S&M freak that likes to wear frilly ripped lingerie, just say, "whaddya think of my costume?  I bought it at Walmart!"  Trust us, they'll never think you really use that whip and ball gag (but we know you do!).  Okay, the "witching hour" is here and it's time for us to put on our costumes, find a crowded bar, down a few (dozen) beers, hopefully meet a couple of down-on-their-luck strippers and...

      
   Tonya, Mike & Stacy - it's a Norman Rockwell moment!                     Kevin & Teri are off to a good start at lunch!

      
       Yup, that's a man - you gotta LOVE New Orleans!                      We're doing pretty good collecting phone numbers!
