Last night on Julia Street, we walked by singers, musicians, dancers, artists, sumo wrestlers, post-modern art, stilt-walkers, and lots of local food. It was all part of Prospect.1, an 11-week art festival that will take over most New Orleans galleries, museums, and in some cases, street blocks. It was apparently just a prelude to tonight's festivities.
The Location is Frenchman Street.
The People are filling the block.
The Costume is the United States of America.
It's only 2:30 p.m. here, but people are already roaming the streets of the French Quarter in full costume. I found an Uncle Sam hat, but I still need to find a shirt with this great nation's stars and stripes all over it.

Pictures, Nick, we all want pictures! Charge up your camera!
And on another topic, and for Uncle Doug ...
I just came across this quotation I would like to share:
"They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man." --Michael Moore on librarians
Sumo wrestlers! Must be a great party.
Nick, it is very bizarre thinking of you dressed up as Uncle Sam. No more jokes about a certain hat at the cottage!! We need an updated map with some dotted lines for potential stopovers. And, how did you every remember that it was that tree? Awesome. Dad/Bob
