I took a couple of pictures of my cassowary costume before we left the house on Mardi Gras day. Being the world's deadliest bird was awesome fun. We decided there should be a krewe of flightless birds next year so that Dave has an excuse to finally get a penguin costume too.

Mardi Gras 2008 = endless party in the Dervish lady's room. Much debauchery was had. I'm not sure exactly all of what I ingested or who all I touched or made out with. I think I remember most of it though.
A few more pictures from the day... we didn't make it to the Quarter until about 3:30pm because Dave busted his ass during the Noise Parade on Lundi Gras night. We're still on the lookout for more pictures... I totally dropped my camera on the ground while taking pictures of the cops clearing off Bourbon Street at midnight and now it won't work properly anymore. Suck.
Everyone came out for Suzy's birthday! Lounge singer Starnes serenades her. (I love how cute Rachel looks in the background.)

Suzy with her peeps. We ran into a group of like 9 black & white harlequin people while we were on our way to use the bathroom.
Matt Vaughn, Suzy & me. I totally don't remember this picture being taken.
