Better Than Ezra and the LOMBARDI Trophy!

[parallel]

I took my babysitter who just turned 18 (get yer head outta the gutter, she is my wife's niece) to the Better Than Ezra concert tonight at the House of Blues. For those who don't know, the HOB is smack dab in the middle of the Mardi Gras madness, it was a zoo!

We got there early and were the 4th, 5th and 6th people into the hall, center stage front row! There was a good brass band as warm up. Then Better Than Ezra takes the Stage... and...

HOLY ********!!!!!!!

They brought out the ****ing LOMBARDI Trophy! Wanda got to touch it (I was busy trying to get a picture of her touching it, but it didn't come out and it happened really fast! This show was just amazing to begin with, but when they started the show by throwing Better Than Ezra beads/medallions and had the Saints front office there with the Lombardi trophy... this is a night that she will NEVER forget! The pics are terrible but we're just happy to have the ones that came out at all.

There might be a few more but I'm whipped, so I'll post any others that are at least viewable later.

Looks like a good time was had. Congrats.

Way cool! My daughter and her husband lived in New Orleans for a couple of years. They were disk jockeys at WRNO then the station went to an all urban format and they moved back to Austin.
While they were there we visited them and got to go to a couple of shows at the House of Blues. The best one was Robin Trower, fantastic guitarist. :thumbup:

Here are the only other pictures that I took that came out at all. I'm waiting to see if Wanda might have a few too.
