The best thing for me besides the Saints winning it all, was my experiences in Miami. My name was drawn to buy tickets from the Saints. They were the $800 ones. Another person we know had their name pulled and bought the $500 ones. They didn't want to go so we bought those tickets as well. We drove down to Miami. Before we left, a guy on Craigslist was asking if someone could bring some crawfish to him. I went and bought the boiled. All we had to do was stop at a gas station that was literally right off the interstate. He paid us for them and gave us another $50. It took 5 minutes and the look he had made my day. My aunt was living in Miami at the time so she invited us to stay with them. Her husband is Cuban, so we got to eat some great food. Family can be great. My uncles brother worked for one of the beer companies so we got a ton of SB stuff from him. The day of the game, we went to Shuck N Dive for a boil. We left and went to the game. Walking around outside, my wife noticed Evander Hollyfield. I asked to get a pic and he said yes. I started chatting him up. He was wearing black and gold beads. He said he was rooting for the Saints. Before long, we look around us and we are surrounded by celebrities. We were allowed into an area where VIP and celebrities entered at. I guess since we were walking with him talking to each other, they thought we were with him. I will end it there. We had the best time.
