Fun.

Well the weekend was fun for the most part. Susie and I attended the Chinese Moon celebration at the Shaw Center LSU MOA. It was $8 and they were supposed to have food from PF changs. Well, we got there 30 minutes after the thing started, paid our $8 and went upstairs to where the celebration was taking place. The food had already been picked over and was gone. We waited and waited, but no food came. Later I asked about the food and they said they had replenished it, but it was obvious that the planning for the event was poor. I certainly wasn't expecting a full meal, but when you advertise an event and emphasize the food by putting it first on the list of activities, you should at least make sure there is enough food for everyone to get a little.
So, we decided to go ahead and eat some sushi at Tsunami, the restaurant in the Shaw Center. It was great as usual. We had a tuna roll, crunchy roll, a beef roll and a crab leg roll with the legs sticking out like a spider.
Saturday we decided to go to pf changs, since we didn't get what were craving the night before. If you have never been there or even if you have I highly recommend getting the lemon pepper shrimp and the mongolian beef. Order both. They complement each other well. And the lemon pepper shrimp are more like fried shrimp than I would have thought.
Sunday was another Saints game. Susie invited me to use one of her tickets Rob and Jenn gave her. Travis (her brother in law and my frat brother) also had tickets and we rode with him and his son Chris. It was a very easy trip. We got free parking immediately. The saints won and leaving was a piece of cake once we got past the huge crowd leaving the building. They really need some crowd control at the SuperDome. One thing bad happened at the Dome. Some guy a section over from us had a heart attack. The paramedics rushed to perform cpr on him. They also had to shock his heart. The worked on him for 30 minutes and then carted him out on a stretcher. He looked dead. I can't find any info on what happened to him. I hope he made it. At least if he died, it was doing something he liked. And he would have been ushered out of the building with the crowd cheering (for the team, but he wouldn't know that).
Oh well, at least the Saints won.
