re: What happened Saturday with the band on the way to the stadium?

A lady passed out on the road in between the PMAC and Stadium. EMS were attending to the lady for a good 10 minutes at least. I would assume that's what caused the delay.

We were standing on the PMAC side and saw it happen. The 10-15 police officers and EMS laid her down on the hot asphalt right in the middle of the street, then took about 10 minutes fanning her face. All the while no one gave her water or tried to move her in the shade. It was a little ridiculous.

We're headed to OB tomorrow and staying until Sunday. Hopefully the weather holds off and water isn't too bad. Either way I'll just be drinking beer on the beach all day. :nana:

I went with the Slayer Propel simply because I came across a good deal on a used one. I've been in Hobie's as well and they each have their own pro's and con's. The propel drive's reverse is nice but not a game changer. I've used it more when it's windy to prevent me from drifting too far while I'm fishing. It definitely sucks in shallow water with the propel drive with grass and such, but pulling the drive out isn't that bad and it sits on top the front of the kayak. But compared to the outback I feel the slayer is better when standing up. My suggestion would be to demo some of each before you decide.

I graduated from ULL with an ITEC degree. I'm currently a project manager in the oil and gas industry. Either one is better than an art degree, just compare the curriculums to see what interests you more. Chances are when you graduate you won't end up doing what you thought in the first place.

I make it a point to say vodka martini or gin martini.
I would bet in La, 75% of the people who order a martini are thinking something with vodka in it.

In Lafayette, 75% of women would order one and expect a glowstick in it and an umbrella on top :lol:

We have a Walk-ons now (in case you didn't know), BWW, Pete's (smaller), Fat Pats, Rivals, Oasis, Marleys and Legends are good but more of a bar but have pretty decent food.

[EDIT] I'm assuming you're looking for sports bars....

I'm with you, but it has now become a prescriptive vs. descriptive matter. I'm kind of a traditionalist, so I believe that a martini only uses gin (i.e., the prescriptive interpretation), but so many people use the term to desribe other types of drinks, that I'm afraid it's a losing battle.

When I bartended, people would sit at my bar and ask for a martini, and get pissed when they would see me make it with gin :banghead: .....definitely a losing battle
