On Friday night some friends and I went to see TV on the Radio at the House of Blues in New Orleans. We were standing in line at will call, when we heard the woman at the ticket counter say "I'm a big fan of yours Mr. Arnett! Enjoy the show!" There he was standing in front of us, full beard and baseball cap pulled tight... Gob Bluth. We all just kind of stared trying to confirm that it was actually him. We then broke out in various chicken dances. He sat behind the velvet ropes at the front of the balcony. The show was pretty fantastic, lots of energy from the band and the crowd. After the show we weren't quite ready to leave New Orleans, so we walked down to a really sweet little place called The Cave and had a Pimm's Cup.

Saturday I had to work at the THIS IS YOUR DOWNTOWN exhibit GCCDS is hosting in Moss Point, MS. It was nice, there was a soap box derby down Main St. in front of our studio and a number of people came in a looked at the exhibit and gave their feedback on what they'd like to see in THEIR DOWNTOWN. It is nice to have the community so involved in the design process!

Sunday I went to Ship Island to hang out on the beach but the rain only held off for 30 min, so I spent the majority of my time exploring Fort Massachusetts on the west end of the island. It was a beautiful place to be as the rain came down.
