How many Elvi does it take to celebrate a birthday?

Beats me. I couldn't count them all.

But they were marching through the French Quarter in a second-line parade last Saturday night to celebrate the birthday of a guy named Scott.

Judging from what I saw, Scott's hangover may be over just in time for Barack Obama's visit today.

Word on the food: Mr. President will be picking up takeout gumbo and fried chicken from Dooky Chase.

Good choice, Barack. I'd throw in a side of red beans and rice.

And happy birthday, Scott.
