Fishes! Dresses! Steelers!

Pick your favorite of the three. We got 'em all down here.

First, one of the great things about New Orleans is participating in quirky, fun events, like the Red Dress Run this weekend. Everyone (all 7,000 participants) don a red dress and run through the French Quarter. And the best part: you run from BAR to BAR. Apparently it used to be a real run with real runners who signed up but it sounds like this year it's more like a bar crawl on Bourbon Street. But we'll see . . .

In other news, we got fish! Three of them. One of them died, though. Poor little fella. Here's his pic:

One last thing. We stopped into the resident Steelers Bar on Sunday and received devastating news. They are closing. In the fall or winter. What?! Can't you wait until after the Super Bowl? The bartender is from Point Breeze and he was three sheets to the wind. Here's some pics:

Outside. This area is called the Irish Channel. This bar is sorta like Gooski's but with fewer hipsters.

Ubiquitous sticker-ing.
