1.26.09 New Orleans - NADA
'All Fall Down'
i didnt do it... the wind blew down the sign yesterday. I'm working NADA in new orleans, @ the convention center. some guy built a very tall sign but didnt anchor it well. during lunch it fell over into the street. blocked traffic for 3 hours.
No one was injured.
Other than this it's been business as usual. i've been enjoying some great meals!
