Fine line between surrealism & costume shop closeouts

The day's activities had costumed pub crawl planned. While Katrina themed outfits were the predominate choice, normal costumes such as Dorothy from Oz, a Genie, and even Cartman of South Park were seen. We circled up around 11 in the morning and started the crawl all through the French Quarter hitting numerous pubs, landmarks, and historic sites. With 100+ hashers in attendance, there was never a lack of conversation or want for fun. Out of all the places I have been, New Orlean's liquor laws made the most sense. Instead of outlawing alcohol in public or other restrictive aspects, the law simple prohibited the use of glass containers. Now that actually makes sense and allows for people to mingle and enjoy themselves. At the end of the trail, we had a scrumptious catered meal in a theater that was reserved for our group. A few hashers were kind enough to let some of us crash at the hotel for a bit for a power nap and relaxation so that we could recharge our mental batteries before returning to the fray. We walked around a bit more in the evening as separate groups and enjoyed some of the smaller hole-in-the wall that made New Orleans famous. Hmmm, I'm really starting to like this place!
