War Eagle from NOLA

So, Colin and I went to New Orleans (NOLA) 2 weeks ago for his firm's retreat.  We had such a good time - I didn't take 1 picture.  Seriously, not 1.  Luckily, someone did.  Between meetings and meals we had a great time walking the streets of NOLA.  I attended a cooking class (which was the opposite of what I expected it to be - but still very cool).  Initially, I was surprised that the instructor was already cooking when we arrived (and, no, we were not late).  She made each dish entirely differently than the recipe suggested (which caused great confusion amongst our class).  It was still very cool and informative (even if part of the fun was at the instructor's expense).  On Saturday the Auburn fans defected from the planned dinner at the Aquarium and went to some hole in the wall bar across the street from the alumni bar at the end of the earth (Tulane).  The one picture from NOLA after an AU victory over Kentucky.  The bar was so excited to have our business they took down the LSU balloons and swapped out Orange and Blue ones!  (I should mention that NO ONE - not one person - was in the bar when our group arrived).  Also notice the randoms on the right . . . why do people enjoy getting in other people's pictures??
