If you're in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area this weekend, I encourage you to support Tech Softball's Big Easy Classic at Metairie's LaSalle Park. The Lady Techsters are the host team (moved from Ruston due to the tornado damage). Other teams are Montana, Alabama A&M, Texas Tech, Central Ark., & Houston Baptist.
Tech plays 9:30 (Ala. A&M) and 2:30 (Montana) on Friday.
Sat: 9:30 (Houston Bapt.) and noon (TX Tech)
Sun: 10:00 (Central Arkansas)

I believe there's also a "family-friendly" Mardi Gras parade in Metairie this weekend.
