Bucket List - #3

1. Ride a horse through a body of water.
(A stream will do just fine, but a river would be cool).

2. Attend SXSW, Bonaroo, Coachella or ACL.
I've always wanted to go, but it's expensive and the timing never was right. One of these days, I'm goin'.

3. Go to New Orleans.
I live in Arkansas, the state right above Louisiana (hence the hefty football rivalry between the two of us). I have visited several smaller towns in that state, have family that live there and have driven through it several times, but I've never been to New Orleans.

After Katrina, we had several victims transplant here. I just spoke with a man here in my town a couple weeks ago who said he was desperate to get back there, but that since this RIDICULOUSLY OUT OF CONTROL oil spill (shaaame, shame, shame) is about to hammer the coast, he thought he might never get back now. That made me want to go there and support them and their economy, if even in a minuscule way.

Also, one of my best friends went earlier this year and brought me back a b&w photo of an old building in the French Quarter, which I love, and it's got me wanting to go see it for myself. So now, it's on the list.
