Hmm...I want po boys again.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but from the way some people holds them, the baguette looks like a phallic symbol.

Anything's symbolic, if you want it to be.

Hmm, I'm sure such a thought never occured to anyone else...

Oh wait, what's the first comment I got about the same pictures over at nola_photos...

Well, so much for my hotlinking skills.:-P~

That's supposed to be my caption for the guy in the top photo.

Oh I see...

If it's poboy fest, where's the meat? All I see is bread...

They were selling many various types of po-boys in the white tents visible in the 3rd photo, as well as other places along the street.

Huh? I see a broken link.

At the time it was happening I was just enjoying it, but putting on my anthropologist hat, it is reminiscent of some ancient harvest time ritual with symbolism of food and sex intertwined, isn't it

That's what I was thinking too. It sure looks like an ancient fertility festival.

I think I need to create a festival for my hometown. The art & wine is just so cliché.

Put the stages on the side streets. OR the food vendors. The crowd was kind of insane, and the food lines were bizarre.
