I wish I could make it for this but 2 things are keeping me away.
1- Work. I have to pay the bills.
2- It's New Orleans. I refuse to go to that part of Louisiana.

I am looking forward to watching it later after it is available online.

 

Wow Steve, I go to New Orleans quite often... Born and Raised there.. Live in St. Rose, now.. about 20 miles west... why the refusal to go there?? Just curious...
