Well, i didnt know there was any discussion as to where to watch the tour. I
think I have the perfect place. Squeal BBQ on Oak st near Ninja has VS. I went
and spoke to the owners last week if I could watch the Tour in their back room.
They said they would be more than happy to oblige. Its actually a restaurant
but they still have good beer and the room i was planning on watching the tour
in is seperated from the rest of the restaurant. I think it seats about 100
people and as far as i know it isnt booked up at all.

let me know if you want to go. I havent gone yet because im flat broke. But if
someone else wants to go, ill tag along. My number is 504-377-8618.

Sam
