What a trip!
We made the trip down to Mardi Gras two years ago and it began to look like we never left.
Having to play in 6+ inches of muck, withstand the occasional downpour and constant drizzel, attempt to hold Allen down to keep him from flying away in the 20+ mph wind, and not seeing the sun for 3 days straight, we still managed to have a blast and a ton of fun!
But I've got to admit, it wasnt the greatest thing in the world when I ended up bringing back about 5 pounds of authentic Louisiana mud with me. Whew, those gear bags are heavy enough!
Needless to say, we managed to make the semi's in the first event of the year and crack the top 10. Not a bad way to start off the new 2004 season!
Between myself, Allen, Clare, and FON, there'll be a ton of pics up fairly soon. I'll try to get my share up as soon as I can once I find some time inbetween school and work.
Sorry kiddies, no bead shots for Clare.
Just a FYI, keep an eye out for a DVD of the event from our new friends at 720 productions. They taped a lot of our games and even a short clip of Allen and me doing a little "body surfing". It's gonna be great!
Thank you to everyone for giving us your support. We really appreciate it and it definately makes us feel good to know that you have all of AO behind us cheering us on!
