Oh, this city. Oh. I love New Orleans. My throat still hurts but my voice is thankfully back. Mardi Gras is fast approaching: the parades are getting bigger and better. The Saints win will keep me and my comrades going for weeks. Don't say football doesn't matter to a city that celebrates to deal with violence, poverty, and the weather. Don't say football doesn't matter to a city with solid roots in Haiti. Those annoying news reports keep mentioning K*trina, but hardship is more than a storm. We believe in ourselves because we're underestimated. Bring out that tuba! Let's second line ourselves down Canal!
