  • Weekend Highlights

    This weekend, I experienced LSU Football for the first time.  It’s like FTA (Fightin’ Texas Aggie) Football, but much drunker.  The tailgating is out of control…people and cars everywhere.  I live two miles from campus, and there were cars lining the street all the way to, and past!, my apartment.  We went up to tailgate with my mom’s old college roommate, whose kids now attend LSU.  They ended up having two extra tickets to the game, so we got to go to that too, yay!  Here are some pictures from the extravaganza:

    Look at all the cars!  And horses on the street!

    Do you think the limo came with the flags, or they provided their own?

    No parking on shoulder.  Got it.  (Mom would say “They’re not real good at following directions in South Louisiana…”)

    On the walk from our parking spot to the tailgate, we passed some pretty hibiscus plants.  If you read my photo blog, you know I love to take pictures of flowers, so of course we had to stop.

    Hey cool statue of Mike the Tiger, what’s that on the ground right by you?

    Yep, an empty bottle of Crown.  One of many.
    (Mom: “Stop.  You have to take a picture of this.”)

    Me & Mom in the stands.  We are a little soggy because it rained while we were walking over.  It’s ok, everyone needed showers anyways. =)

    The Campanile (that’s a bell tower, Ags) glowing at night.

    PS – Mad props to Rachel for her link to the South Park Studio, generator of my new profile image.  Go read her blog – she’s awesome. =)
