Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge

So this past weekend SoCo trucked it on down to Baton Rouge, LA in order to play in the ultimate tournament Mardi Gras. Despite that this should be my third year going it was my first. In 2006 I was in a wedding during this weekend and in 2007 I was studying in Costa Rica. I must say that it was worth the wait, this was one of the best tourny's I've been to yet. With the help of a few Arkansas and Tulsa lady friends our team placed 3rd, losing to the tournament winners 8-10 in the semi-finals. All in all we went 6-1 and won both the friday and saturday night party.
Here's little chicken cuddling up to stevie 3000.
The weather was amazing. In the 70's all weekend with clear skies and very little wind.
On the way home though we stopped at this little truck stop around midnight or so to pee. I felt a little creeped out to say the least, especially when I saw that in order to tinkle I would have to walk into that dark void to the left of the building and find the womens restroom and whatever else might be awaiting me. I didn't go.
