So what are you waiting for? Obviously, I don't know the answer to that question. Don't you hate rhetorical questions?

Originally I intended to hit Mardi Gras at Universal to catch the Doobie Brothers. That didn't happen. In my opinion, I found something better! Each week on the "small stage" they bring in musical acts directly from New Orleans. This week was Big Sam's Funky Nation, and performed 30 minutes of non-stop high energy funk! After watching their set, I really didn't think that the Doobie Brothers could've topped it, so I left. :) Have fun! Links: boingboing Craphound.com Big Sam's Funky Nation
