Halloween 2010 @ Voodoo Fest

First weekend in Nawlins was one for the ages. I'm pretty psyched to spend 2 months working in "Who Dat Nation".  Going from one extreme following to the next, Alabama and Saints fans both are highly dedicated to their teams.

Voodoo Fest was an all weekend event starting on Friday and going until Sunday night at the City Park which is about 2-3 miles from our housing.  Although Cain and myself went there all 3 days, it was not until the 3rd day that we actually were able to get into the park buying tickets off craigslist at a nicely discounted price.  Fun Fact, this was the first concert I went to that did not have DMB in it! Paul Oakenfold, Deadmau5, and MGMT preformed like no other. It was fun to see lots of people dressed up for Halloween in ridiculous costumes; some of my favorites included Oscar the Grouch, Gumby, a giant Frosted mini-wheat, Yoshi, and Predator.  There were a ton of Drew Brees jerseys and Waldo's roaming around, ironically making waldo the easiest to spot out in the crowd.

Fortunately we were given a 3 day weekend and have Monday off. On top of that Friday we have half day work days and have a bbq in the park for the second half of the day which is awesome.  Could not ask for a better start to my 2nd Spike!
